THE WIZARD - Demo

What's in a name? Every year sees its own great trend and great turning away, at this point it seems the underground metal community has 'wizard' fatigue. So I can imagine you rolling your eyes when I tell you about this new female-fronted bluesy stoner doom band out of Mexico called The Wizard. But what if I told you that their demo was completely, hassle-free, no questions asked, no money down, 0% interest, no monthly fees, FREE DOWNLOAD? Would you still balk? I took one look at the cover and knew I would like this thing. The music wasn't really what I was expecting based on the cover, but if nothing else, it's inoffensive and often it's even good. Quite good in fact, much better than some of the major, signed acts that are making the rounds playing a similar style. The Wizard pack on a few extra pounds-per-square-inch of hard-edged bite which I always appreciate.
