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."
Thor's Hammer
Wizard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the northern border-line
Awaiting his enemies
Giants of Niflheim
His weapon is pounding
By his lust for the giants' blood
Armour for a god
Smashing and crushing
A weapon full of power
The time will come
The giants last hour
FIGHTING GIANTS KILL THEM ALL
DEFENDER OF THE GOLDEN HALL
FIGHTING GIANTS KILL THEM ALL
DEFENDER OF THE GOLDEN HALL
FIGHTING GIANTS
THE HAMMER OF THOR
DEFENDERS OF THE GOLDEN HALL
FIGHTING GIANTS
THE HAMMER OF THOR
DEFENDERS OF THE GOLDEN HALL
He was the strongest
God in the golden hall
His father was Odin
The power-god
In the last battle
He killed and fought together
With his father Odin
The Midgard snake
The Wizard's song Thor's Hammer is a metal anthem celebrating the mythological figure Thor and his hammer, Mjolnir, that he uses to defeat the giants and protect the Golden Hall. The song describes Thor riding through the sky, waiting for his enemies, the giants of Niflheim. His weapon Mjolnir, by his lust for the giants' blood, is presented as armor for a god, and armor to kill. The lyrics also depict Thor's hammer as a weapon full of power, which he uses to smash and crush his enemies. The song speaks of Thor's fierce battle against the giants, where he defends the Golden Hall and kills them all, thus asserting his position as the ultimate defender.
Thor's Hammer is a song that highlights the heroism and bravery of the mythological figure and focuses on his exploits in battle. Throughout the song, the lyrics emphasize Thor's role as a defender of the gods and his connection to Odin, his father, whom he fought with in the last battle against the Midgard snake. The song's repeated chorus, "Defender of the Golden Hall," reinforces the message that Thor's mission is to protect the gods' home and their way of life.
