Last night, the iconic doom metal band Wizzerd graced the stage in Munich, delivering an electrifying performance that left the audience spellbound. Originating from Kalispell, Montana, and formed in 2014, Wizzerd is renowned for their peculiar blend of stoner/doom metal. Their themes often revolve around sex, weed, doom, Satan, fantasy, wizards, and space, adding a mythical aura to their music that’s both intriguing and audacious1.
The core of Wizzerd’s music is its members, who with their exceptional musical prowess, have crafted a niche for themselves in the doom metal genre. The band comprises Jhalen Salazar on vocals and guitar, Jamie Yeats on guitar and keyboard, Layne Matkovich on vocals and bass, along with James Ryan and Wayne Randall managing the strings and synthesizer respectively, and Sam Moore on drums and percussion234.
Wizzerd’s music is often described as a curious fusion of fuzzy heavy-psych tinged doom metal laden with stoner accouterments, a description that was vividly brought to life in their live performance in Munich. The night of 19th March was enchanted with the band’s spellbinding blend of doom metal and psychedelic tunes, as mentioned in the teaser for their live performance5.
The atmosphere was electric as the heavy riffs reverberated through the venue, mingling with the mystical aura that Wizzerd is so well known for. Each song performed was a journey through the fantastical themes that the band explores, leaving the audience in a trance that lasted well beyond the final note.
The Munich concert was a testament to Wizzerd’s musical prowess and their ability to create an immersive, almost otherworldly experience for their audience. It was not just a concert, but a mystical journey that the attendees are likely to cherish for a long time.
