“Nobody told us that Metal’s dead – honestly…” says Snoopy seriously, “ we did not recognize that in the rehearsal room”. This naпve but fully honest statement out of an early interview shows exactly what WIZARD are about. Eight years before Hammerfall (1989) the four guys from west-German Bocholt didn’t turn left or right. For Sven D’Anna (vocals), Snoppi (drums), Michael MaaЯ (Gitarre) und Volker Leson (bass) alias WIZARD there was only one direction: straight ahead.
What started promising with their first demo „Legion Of Doom“ (1991) and the first two self-produced albums„Son Of Darkness“ (1995) and „Battle Of Metal“ (1997) let to a deal with B.O. Records. At this time the band already had some cult following and one of Germany’s most outrageous singers with Sven D’Anna - shows with chains, leather, spikes, fire and pyros and headbanging crowds. „Bound By Metal“ (1999) was the album that led the band out of the undergound to the top of German metal bands
Songs like Hammer, Bow, Axe and Sword‘, ‚Bound By Metal‘ or ‚Dark Wings‘ are still frequently played in metal clubs. The band signed a new contract with Limb Music in 2000 and released in 2001 their so far best and most successful album with „Head Of The Deceiver“ which got excellent press and even in South Africa a Wizard fan club occurred. The album was followed by many shows and tours a.o. with Paul Di‘ Anno, Edguy, Paragon, Goddess Of Desire, Sacred Steel and Death SS followed by the much acclaimed appearances on the Bang Your Head- and Wacken open airs.
In the fall of 2002 WIZARD entered the Powerhouse studios in Hamburg with producer Piet Sielck (Iron Savior, Heavenly, Blind Guardian, Gun Barrel, Paragon) to record a concept album about the nordic godfather Odin – simply called “Odin” being Wizard’s top album to date – songs like The Prophecy‘ and ‚The Powergod‘, and epic hymns like ‚Thor's Hammer‘ and ‚Hall Of Odin‘ made an almost perfect power metal album!
In January 2004 WIZARD entered the stages again supporting Grave Digger on their European tour. Again the band proved their essential live qualities! After the succesfull tour the band began writing new songs. In May 2004 Michael Maas left the band due to a lack of time and Dano Boland replaces him.
With the new album “Magic Circle” being out the band went on tour again with the new album playing a.o. with Virgin Steel, Gun Barrel, Sacred Steel and others.
In 2006 finally WIZARD left their former label Limb Music to sign a new deal with Massacre Records. As this was settled the Band entered the studio firght away, this time the well-known House of Music (Primal Fear a.o.) in Winterbach to record their new album “Goochan” with producer Dennis Ward. “Goochan” is a glorius concept album worth looking forward to! The band gave maximum power and efforts into this exciting new album and WIZARD are sure the fans will dig it!
Another highlignt is the news that in summer 2007 thunder warrior Michael Maass will return to the WIZARD line up and will put in new spirit together with Dano Boland!
