Just two years after their latest release ...Of Wariwulfs And Bluotvarwes, power metallers Wizard are hard at work on a new album and have currently finished four new songs. For now, the tentative release date is September 2013.
Canadian stoner metal trio Wizards Of Kaos have teamed up with their record label, Diminished Fifth Records, to bring you the band's new video entitled "White Face". The song is off the band's new debut self-titled album released in May. The clip was shot and directed by Paddy Moore.
With a pedigree that boasts all three members of New York's cult doom act Unearthly Trance, plus founding Electric Wizard and Ramesses bassist/guitarist Tim Bagshaw, Serpentine Path should immediately top any doom metal fan's want-list. The self-titled debut is an absolutely crushing album which both references and reinterprets its members previous bands but with a decidedly more punishing death metal approach.
UK stoner/doom outfit Electric Wizard have announced that they have begun writing new material for what will become the band's next album.
The band wrote on their Facebook page: "Electric Wizard have begun work on the follow-up to last year's evil opus Black Masses. Material has been demoed at a secret location and was so 'malevolent and foreboding' that 2 tracks will see the light of day as a 7" EP scheduled for release at the forthcoming London Forum show on March 31st. The show will also feature previews of the new songs and (at last!) specially filmed sequences for the video show and more to be announced."
''Metzer'', a brand new song from German metallers Wizard, is available for streaming at the band's MySpace page.
''Metzer" comes off the band's forthcoming album, entitled ...Of Wariwulfs And Bluotvarwes, which will be released on March 25 via Massacre Records. More details about the album were previously reported here and here.
"Turn Off Your Mind", a brand-new track from UK stoner doom metal band Electric Wizard has been made available for streaming online, over at Stereogum.
"Turn Off Your Mind" comes off the band's latest album Black Masses, which will be released in North America on January 18th, 2011 through Rise Above Records.

German metallers Wizard have issued the following update on their official website:
"The new Wizard album Wariwulf is a concept album about vampires, witches, man-eater and other creatures taken from the trilogie "Die Chroniken des Hagen von Stein" from the german author André Wiesler. The dark tale of vampires and cannibals extends from the Middle Ages to the present day.
All fans can use the time till release of the album (end of the year) by reading the story which is absolutely exciting!
For the end of the year Wizard plan to make a concert together with André Wiesler where he will read short extracts from the books and where Wizard will play the right songs to that. The day for this concerts will be published soon."
German power metal act Wizard have posted a new live video for the song "Midgard's Guardian" online. The song comes from the band's last abum Thor. In the meantime, the band keeps working on the new album. For the moment the Wizard have already written six new songs.
"Under The Wizard's Sleeve", the new video of Brooklyn, NY-based Wizardry has been made available online. The video was directed by Paul Kermizian along with a crack team of alchemists, pyrotechnicians, astrologers, and soothsayers in the netherworlds of Algonquois.

Acording to a update posted in his website Bobby Jarzombek was working on the new Demons & Wizards as well with Roc Rock, here are his words:
"Hey all,
We're already two weeks into the New Year - high time to fill you in on what's been cooking and what's in store for the immediate future.
Last month I flew out to Tampa, Florida to record my drum tracks for the new Demons & Wizards CD. This was my first time recording at the famous Morrisound Studios and it was great working with Jim Morris. He's an excellent engineer/producer and gets some KILLER drum tones. Jon (Schaffer) and Hansi (Kuersch) wrote some real cool songs for this one. No release date as of yet though. Another album I recorded drums for a while back, Rob Rock's AFM debut "Holy Hell", should be out in April. My Halford band mate Roy Z co-wrote the tunes, produced and plays guitar on it so you know it's gonna rock!
"WIZARD are currently working on the songs for the successor of their 2003 released concept-album "Odin" and will start with the pre-production soon. According to the band, the lyrics will be "Wizard style" again and just as the fans expect them to be. The recording of the album is planned to take place in January/February of 2005 with the release set for May.
On a private note, two anticipated "releases" -or captures?- are taking place within the next few days. Guitarist Michael Maass will be the last of the Wizards to let go of his bachelor's life. His new marital duties are not the reason for him to take a break though. Extension studies and the resulting lack of time will cause him to quit for a while. Standing in for him will be his former Vebrifuge bandmate Dano Boland, who will also be recording the new album with the band.
