THE WIZAR'D - Subterranean Exile review



THE WIZAR'D - Subterranean Exile

Cruz del Sur Music




I get music from all over to write about on this site. For example this particular act is from the island of Tasmania. And since they're on the Cruz del Sur label you can guess the music is gonna fit in with some old school traditional sounds. Honestly I'm surprised I haven't heard of em before. They've been around for sixteen years, have a bunch of previously released material and I usually get all the out of the way stuff to review. 


But anyways THE WIZAR'D are a four piece act (two guitarists, a bass player and drummer). One of the guitarists takes on lead vocals which come across as a nasally Ozzy or Terry Jones from PAGAN ALTAR. Musically this has been genre tagged as doom but that's not it at all. If you think of some slower NWOBHM sounds like the previously mentioned PAGAN ALTAR or early JUDAS PRIEST. Hell you can place any medium paced heavy metal act from that era who were heavily influenced by the occult and there you go. In the end it's OK.
