Dark Wizard "Close in the dark" CD

After more than three decades in the shadows, Netherlands’ DARK WIZARD return with their long-awaited second album Close In The Dark, the follow-up to their cult classic Reign of Evil (1985)! Still drenched in the dark, obscure atmosphere that defined their early EP and debut, the band now sounds sharper, heavier, and more focused than ever. Driven by haunting riffs, melodic yet commanding vocals, and a thunderous rhythm section, Close In The Dark delivers classic Heavy Metal that walks the fine line between power and gloom. Frontman Egbert Berenst breathes new life into the band with a vocal performance that perfectly complements the band’s signature darkness and it´s no surprise, as he's the one responsible for resurrecting DARK WIZARD in the first place. Add in fiery lead guitars and pure headbanging energy, and you’ve got a release that honors the past while forging boldly into the future. DARK WIZARD is back and they’ve never sounded better. If obscure, true heavy metal is your thing, this one’s essential.
