(1) Wizzard was Roy Wood’s post- ELO project. Formed in Wood's hometown of Birmingham, Warwickshire in 1972, they made catchy, jazzy glam-rock hit singles like "Angel Fingers" and "See My Baby Jive" with a retro, Phil Spector-style "wall of sound" production. At the same time, they produced decidedly odd, almost avant-garde albums like Wizzard Brew. They remained active until around 1975.
(2) One of them is a 'blackened' heavy metal band from Finland. It enjoyed some success in Finland and Germany though even some fans wondered why they had taken the name of Roy Wood's famous band – the other z was actually added because the band didn't want to be confused with the German band Wizard. The band was founded by Teemu Kautonen as his solo-project in August 1995, and he handled all the instruments on the first demo, Teemu moved the band to Germany in April 1997 adding new local musicians CY and Daniel to the line-up. In August Teemu returned to Finland, but moved back to Germany in January 2001, and CY and Daniel came along again. Also a new guitarist Johnny joined the band.
Last known lineup:
Teemu Kautonen aka Hexenmeister - Vocals, originally also Bass & Guitars
CY aka Grobi - Drums
Daniel - Lead Guitars, Bass
Johnny - Rhythm Guitars

Iron Steel Metal
Wizzard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lustful succubuses of death and pain
Are gathered tonight up in the steel sky
Down on the field of battle stand
Warriors draped in leather with iron swords in hand
Ready to sing their enemies their last lullabies
The sunlight disappears, only torchlightэs break the darkDepressive silence broken only by hard pounding hearts
Mist falls down shrouding the field in mystery
After this night all false "metallers" will rest in peace
The Metal horde raise their swords and hail
Iron, Steel, Metal
Sure of their coming victory they swear on
Iron, Steel, Metal
The massive volume of their chanting - false ears bleed
It's nothing but a massacre when the titans clash with the weak
Trying to put us down cries out for revenge
The gods of Metal will blow the wimps away
The lyrics of Wizzard's song "Iron Steel Metal" invoke imagery of a battle between warriors with iron swords and armor, and lustful succubuses of death and pain in the steel sky. The warriors stand ready to sing their enemies their last lullabies, while the Metal horde raise their swords in honor of their coming victory. As the mist falls down, shrouding the field in mystery, the battle rages on with hard pounding hearts, and the gods of Metal triumph over those weak and false "metallers."
The lyrics of the song are an ode to the power of heavy metal music, which provides an escape from the mundane and normal life, and allows us to embrace our darker side. The lyrics invoke the imagery of a battle, elements of fantasy, and a sense of power and rebellion, which are all common themes in heavy metal music. The song is an anthem for those who embrace metal as a way of life and a symbol of their rebellion against conformity and societal expectations.
