BLACK MAGIC
WIZARD'S SPELL

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.
