(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

The Fire Of Volcanus
Wizzard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this ancient dome at midnight hour
To the voracious flames we sacrificed wisdom
Out of the chaos smoke solidified infernal power
The formula of the universe
A cult devoted to Satan
Redemption - of the concealed science
Resurrection - of the dormant spectres of Hell
Realisation - of the ever-lurking doom
The shorn lamb will be slaughtered under a bleeding
Moon
Visitation - to the servants of god
Celebration - for the ones strong in dark faith
Conflagration - set the ancient spirits free
In the fire of Volcanus breeds the fountain of sorcery
The lyrics to Wizzard's song The Fire Of Volcanus describe a group of individuals who have bound themselves to a web of sorcery in an ancient dome at midnight hour. They have sacrificed wisdom to the voracious flames and as a result, solidified infernal power. This is all in service of a cult devoted to Satan and the formula of the universe. The lyrics continue to describe a path to redemption, resurrection, and realization through the ever-lurking doom of the shorn lamb being slaughtered under a bleeding moon. There is a visitation to the servants of god and a celebration for those strong in dark faith. Finally, there is a conflagration that sets ancient spirits free and breeds the fountain of sorcery in the fire of Volcanus.
Through these lyrics, it is clear that the song has some dark themes and deals with the occult. The reference to Satan and a cult devoted to him is a clear indicator of this, along with the sacrificing of wisdom to the flames. The idea of a fountain of sorcery being bred in the fire of Volcanus adds to the mystical nature of the song. It is a song that does not shy away from its dark themes and imagery.
Line by Line Meaning
To the web of sorcery we bound ourselves
We willingly subjected ourselves to the spell of magic
In this ancient dome at midnight hour
We performed this ritual in an old building at night
To the voracious flames we sacrificed wisdom
We gave up our knowledge to the burning fire
Out of the chaos smoke solidified infernal power
From the smoke that arose, demonic forces emerged
The formula of the universe
The secret knowledge of the cosmos
A cult devoted to Satan
A group of people dedicated to the devil
Redemption - of the concealed science
We seek salvation through hidden knowledge
Resurrection - of the dormant spectres of Hell
We bring back the undead spirits of the underworld
Realisation - of the ever-lurking doom
We acknowledge the constant presence of impending destruction
The shorn lamb will be slaughtered under a bleeding Moon
The innocent will be sacrificed under a full moon
Visitation - to the servants of god
We come to those who serve a higher power
Celebration - for the ones strong in dark faith
We rejoice in those who have a strong allegiance to evil
Conflagration - set the ancient spirits free
We unleash the old spirits through a great fire
In the fire of Volcanus breeds the fountain of sorcery
The source of magic resides in the flames of Volcanus
