Spanish
70's Hard & Heavy Rock band THE WIZARDS
have inked a deal with Fighter Records
for the release of their highly anticipated 2nd
album "Full Moon in Scorpio"
which will see the light next month of May.
Formed in Bilbao
(Basque Country) back in 2013, these five outcasts
decided to form a band after several intense sessions
of drug abuse and hard liquor drinking marathons
at backyard parties where the records from BLACK
SABBATH, DANZIG, THE CULT, BLUE OYSTER CULT, PENTAGRAM,
DEEP PURPLE, DIO, HORISONT and ELECTRIC WIZARD
where played so loud neighbors would call the
police sooner than expected.
In January 2014
THE WIZARDS recorded their first demo "Plagues".
With only 4 songs recorded and a bunch of covers
they are able to win the 26th edition of the local
Pop-Rock contest Villa de Bilbao, and during 2015
they released their self-titled debut album through
the band's own label Witch Records in collaboration
with French label Geea Music.
The band played
live in France, Basque Country and Spain opening
for legendary bands and artists such as THE DICTATORS,
IGGY POP or TURBO NEGRO, sharing stage with bands
like PETER PAN SPEED ROCK, HORISONT, HYPNOS and
so on. They were even invited to participate in
festivals such as Madrid Stoner Scene Fest, Kriston
Fest or Faan Fest.
During
April 2016 THE WIZARDS entered Gaua
Studio together with Brooklyn based produced
Dean Rispler, current bass player for THE
DICTATORS. During two weeks they recorded 8 songs
that form their upcoming second album "Full
Moon in Scorpio", engineered by Asier
Zubelbu and mixed and mastered by Jesse
Cannon (The Cure, The Misfits, Dillinger Escape
Plan) at Cannon Found Soundation in Union
City, New Jersey.
"Full
Moon in Scorpio" contains 8 tracks
of Hard & Heavy Rock attack, the lyrics dealing
with such issues as the destruction of the veils
that blind us, the vast concepts of space and
time, the search for spiritual enlightenment and
so on. For the band it truly means a step forward
in their quest for world domination. The sound
is bigger, the songs are better and the band is
ready to destroy and fuck things up wherever their
presence is needed. The western world is collapsing,
lets dance over the fires while we howl at the
Scorpio Moon. All in the name of Rock and Roll.
All in the name of Lucifer!
Tracklist for "Full Moon in Scorpio"
is as follows:
1. Avidya
2. Calliope (Cosmic Revelations)
3. Odinist
4. Stardust
5. Leaving the Past Behind
6. Halftones to Eternity
7. Who are You, Mr. Gurdjieff?
8. When We Were Gods
Release date for
"Full Moon in Scorpio"

La
banda vasca de Hard & Heavy Rock de los '70
THE WIZARDS, acaban de firmar contrato
con Fighter Records para la edición
de su esperado 2º álbum "Full
Moon in Scorpio" que verá
la luz el próximo mes de Mayo.
Formados en Bilbao
(País Vasco) allá por 2013, estos
cinco marginados decidieron formar una banda tras
intensas sesiones de abuso de drogas y maratones
bebiendo fuertes licores en fiestas caseras donde
discos de BLACK SABBATH, DANZIG, THE CULT, BLUE
OYSTER CULT, PENTAGRAM, DEEP PURPLE, DIO, HORISONT
y ELECTRIC WIZARD sonaban tan alto que los vecinos
llamaban a la policía antes de lo esperado.
En enero de 2014,
THE WIZARDS grabaron su primera demo "Plagues".
Con tan sólo 4 temas grabados y un puñado
de versiones, fueron capaces de ganar la 26ª
edición del festival de Pop-Rock Villa
de Bilbao, y durante 2015 editaron su homónimo
álbum debut a través del sello de
la propia banda Witch Records en colaboración
con el sello francés Geea Music.
La banda tocó
en directo en Francia, País Vasco y España
abriendo para legendarias bandas y artistas como
THE DICTATORS, IGGY POP o TURBO NEGRO, compartiendo
escenarios con grupos como PETER PAN SPEED ROCK,
HORISONT, HYPNOS y algunos más. Incluso
fueron invitados a participar en festivales como
el Madrid Stoner Scene Fest, Kriston Fest o Faan
fest.
Durante abril de
2016, THE WIZARDS entró en los Gaua
Studio junto al productor afincado en Brooklyn,
Dean Rispler, actual bajista en THE DICTATORS.
Durante dos semanas grabaron 8 temas que conforman
el inminente segundo álbum "Full
Moon in Scorpio", grabado por Asier
Zubelbu y mezclado y masterizado por Jesse
Cannon (The Cure, The Misfits, Dillinger Escape
Plan) en los Cannon Found Soundstation
en Union City, New Jersey.
"Full
Moon in Scorpio" es un ataque de
8 temas de Hard & Heavy Rock, con letras que
tratan de temas como la destrucción de
los velos que nos ciegan, los amplios conceptos
del espacio y tiempo, la búsqueda de la
iluminación espiritual, etc. Para la banda
realmente significa un paso adelante en su misión
para dominar el mundo. El sonido es más
grande, las canciones son mejores y la banda está
lista para destruir y joder lo que haga falta
donde se requiera su presencia. El mundo occidental
se colapsa, bailemos sobre los fuegos mientras
aullamos a la Luna de Escorpio. Todo en nombre
del Rock and Roll. Todo en nombre de Lucifer!
El listado de temas para "Full Moon
in Scorpio" es el siguiente:
1. Avidya
2. Calliope (Cosmic Revelations)
