"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.

Last but not least, shouter Sven D' Anna and his beautiful wife are eagerly expecting their first child. We here at the LMP camp do wish both couples ALL THE BEST!!!"
