Black Magic

Wizard's Spell Black Magic EP edition

Dark Essence Records is proud to announce that the legendary Black Magic EP "Wizard's Spell" is finally back in print. Recorded in 2009/2010, and originally released in 2014 - this amazing piece of heavy, speedy metal is widely regarded as one of Norway's finest underground metal releases from modern times. Rooted in the speed / heavy metal traditions of the early 80s, "Wizard's Spell" sounds as if the album was indeed recorded way back when, instead of feeling like a retro pastiche. It sounds like a studio album from the early eighties, adding to its sense of time and place. As one reviewer put it: "For all intents and purposes this album could have been reissued from a 1981 release from a failing record company and no one would have questioned it. The band not only nails the sound but they create something so believable, I am hard pressed to find any flaws in it." The "Wizard's Spell" EP itself is made up of the 5 tracks on side A, while the B-side consists of the demo "Rite Of Evil". The cover art has been redrawn from scratch by Linda K. Røed.
