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."
Mighty Wizard
Wizard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The moon struggles to shine, it radiates blood red
Fear, she feels death but it's the only way
To reach the gates of the wizard, the border between the worlds
Now she's arrived, the mighty gates in front
Little creatures observe her from the other side
It begins to rain, crying and exhausted she falls to her knees
Mighty wizard - open the gates
Mighty wizard - open your world for me
Open your world for a lost soul
Mighty wizard - open the gates
Mighty wizard - open your world for me
Open your world for a lost soul
Warriors of death decimated her hole family
They drank their whole blood and ate their raw hearts
She cried and requested help
Revenge and sadness reflecting in her eyes
The mighty wizard comes out of the dark
Thunderstorms struck the village
With a dark voice he swears revenge
Mighty wizard - open the gates
Mighty wizard - open your world for me
Open your world for a lost soul
Mighty wizard - open the gates
Mighty wizard - open your world for me
Open your world for a lost soul
