1. Wizard is a German Power Metal band, formed in 1989 by the drummer Sören van Heek. The band was often called "Germany's answer to Manowar". On some albums the lyrics are about battles, metal, war and steel. The exception were the albums Odin, which is a concept album about Norse mythology, Goochan which is a fantasy story about a witch (written by Volker Leson and author William B. Nuke), Thor which is also about north mythology and ... of wariwulfs and bluotvarwes which is about vampires and werewolfs (written by Wizard and Andre Wiesler, German author).
Wizard played at Wacken Open Air 2002, Bang Your Head!!! 2002, Keep It True 2004, Dokk'em Open Air 2006, Magic Circle Festival 2009 and is in the 2012 line-up of Hammerfest IV. In 2003 longtime guitarist Michael Maass quit the band because of health problems. In 2006 the band left the label Limb Music after four albums and joined the somewhat bigger label Massacre Records with a new album in mind to be released in January 27, 2007, titled Goochan. On may 18th, 2007, Michael Maass returned to the band after a three-year break. The band's 2009 album Thor received a positive review from The Pit reviewer Frank Heise, who praised "The Visitor" as the best track on it.
The band's 2011 album ...Of Wariwulfs and Bluotvarwes received a positive review from SLUG Magazine reviewer Dylan Chadwick noting that "well trodden, and admittedly formulaic, it's a resoundingly competent platter of steel-willed, fist pounding heavy metal that'll satisfy the most voracious headbanger's hunger."

Hagen Von Stein
Wizard Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A long time ago
I grew up on a castle
By a wise Hagr
My life was for told

A warrior for god
A slave to the church
My aim is to serve

Not to rule since my birth

I see the world
With other eyes
My friend is a Bletzer
So old and wise

He told me the truth
About my live
A man of the night
Born to fight

[Ref:]
Inside my heart light is apart
Anger and hate is my fate
Betrayers around me there is no trust
I am the loser of the dark

I learned to fought
For the holy church
An immortal warrior
For the glory of god

My passion was fighting
Raping and killing
Those who are wrong
With the false belief

They call us immortal
A brotherhood of death
The lost survivor
Of a holy race

I trust them all
My father, my mum

Now I now
They are all betrayers
