(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

Temple Of Elemental Evil
Wizzard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your flamboyant lips for a prey they prowl
The night we met in that low-lit room
Fullmoon, wolfbane bloomed
You prepared me to break the chains of time
...to break the chains of life
I can't but adore you
My mistress conceived of demons
Your body is my temple of elemental evil
Your mind a labyrinth where I forever wander
Your beauty eternal tears me asunder
Cataclysmal was our flame of love
When we walked the ruins of Byzantium
For you I balanced on the edge of thorns
...until the end of the world
Just before the dawn of day
One can see two souls on their way
Across the borders of time they fly
Beyond mortality, away from the light
Together we fill our souls with silent melancholy
Our earthly lives washed away by the evening tide
As shadows we are free to ride clouds in astral skies
No death can break a love with a bond of blood
Immortalised
A love that can never die...
The lyrics to Wizzard's song "Temple Of Elemental Evil" describe a love that is intense, almost demonic in nature. The singer is deeply enamoured by a woman who seems to contain multitudes - her sombre eyes pierce his soul, while her flamboyant lips hunt for prey. They met in a low-lit room on a night when the full moon was out and wolfbane bloomed. The woman prepared the singer to break the chains of time and life, leading him on a journey through her mind, which he describes as a labyrinth where he forever wanders.
Their love is cataclysmal and takes them to the ruins of Byzantium where they walk together. The singer balances on the edge of thorns for this woman who tears him asunder with her eternal beauty. Together, they become shadows that ride clouds in astral skies, free from mortality and the constraints of earthly life. Their love is immortalised and cannot ever be broken, existing beyond bonds of blood or death.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a love that is both passionate and dangerous, taking the singer on a journey through the unknown and the supernatural.
Line by Line Meaning
Your sombre eyes they pierce my soul
Your serious and dark eyes have a penetrating effect on my innermost being
Your flamboyant lips for a prey they prowl
Your flashy and showy lips hunt for their next victim
The night we met in that low-lit room
The evening when we first encountered each other in a dimly-lit space
Fullmoon, wolfbane bloomed
It was during a full moon where the poisonous flower known as wolfbane was in full bloom
You prepared me to break the chains of time
You readied me to escape the shackles of temporal existence
...to break the chains of life
to liberate myself from the constraints of mere mortal existence
I can't but adore you
I cannot help but worship you
My mistress conceived of demons
The woman I pledge my loyalty to is affiliated with the underworld
Your body is my temple of elemental evil
I consider your physical form as a place of worship with ties to the fundamental forces of darkness
Your mind a labyrinth where I forever wander
Your intellect is like a complex maze in which I am forever lost
Your beauty eternal tears me asunder
Your timeless radiance causes me great emotional pain
Cataclysmal was our flame of love
Our love affair had a destructive and disastrous magnitude
When we walked the ruins of Byzantium
During our travels amongst the remains of the ancient city of Byzantium
For you I balanced on the edge of thorns
I put my life in peril for you by navigating treacherous terrain
...until the end of the world
...even if it meant continuing to do so until the very end of existence
Just before the dawn of day
Right before the sun rises
One can see two souls on their way
One can witness the departure of two spirits
Across the borders of time they fly
They soar beyond time itself
Beyond mortality, away from the light
Far from the realm of living things and distant from sources of illumination
Together we fill our souls with silent melancholy
We share a sense of sadness devoid of any accompanying sound
Our earthly lives washed away by the evening tide
Our physical existence is figuratively swept away by the ebbing waters of sunset
As shadows we are free to ride clouds in astral skies
In our incorporeal forms, we have the liberty to ride clouds through the metaphysical skies
No death can break a love with a bond of blood
No form of demise can bring an end to a love founded on shared ancestry
Immortalised
Enduring throughout all of time
A love that can never die...
...a love that will always persist

Awesome game, superb D&D 3.5 adaptation and magnificent Co8 modpack. I have played that game 3 times, one vanilla version, one with an early Co8 mod version and one with version 5 of Co8 mod, and I'm planning to play again soon.
@tylersloeper
I thought chaotic good cleric of luck, wielding fragarac, and using maxed power attack and expertise, was the usual solo build.
@ProfessorVuubik
I-
Why the hell did ghouls touch work to let you paralyzse her to coup de grace?
@Grimpmann
You roll like God.
@Mayhzon
You beat it in not even 35 minutes. The game I used to have week long playthroughs on. What the actual...?
@hicmad
He's not exactly playing it as intended though. Not a criticism I like the video.
@Ka-Zurt
I tried speedrun the game, with no major glitch I manage to finish it in 8 minutes, else, someone got a WR (with a glitch quite funny) in 4:40
