Space Wizard - Vol. 1 (2017)
Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina,
Space Wizard are making their debut with this five-track EP of retro
heavy rock, spiced with touches of fantasy metal, to make their
impression of channeled '70s attitude upon the world. You can
practically smell the beer-stained denim while listening to their
songs of demons and wizards, so it's a bit of a shame the cover art
doesn't offer some imagery you'd see on the side of a van (although
the logo's spot-on) to go with the tunes; I guess they're saving that
for the LP. There's not many surprises to be heard, but then again,
that's not something for which they're aiming. It's just some
straight-up riff digging, so as long as that's what you're craving,
you should be able to have a fun time with this EP. And as it is
their first release, what they've put together is pretty good by
those standards, with a square chance that they'll spread their style
further on upcoming efforts. Give it a listen when you've got a
six-pack handy, and keep your ears open for more to come from this
crew.
