These guys were from San Antonio, Texas and listed their influence as Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. You can sort of hear that, but more Priest than Maiden. They would likely be classified as traditional power metal. Which kind means they are faster than say classic metal bands like Dio or Judas Priest, but not quite up to a speed metal pace. The music reminds me a little of fellow Texans Helstar with tight riffs mixed in with some short sporadic pace changes. They might also be slightly similar in sound to LA band Abattoir, but not quite as fast. The vocals are all over the place though as the vocalist alternates between middle range and some crazy unexpected high notes. I think their energy is pretty high, but their creativity is very typical of a lot of mid-80's metal bands. They also dress in the standard black leather and black t-shirt look and pose with skulls and big candles. WYZARD 1983-1985 San Antonio based METAL band, (Michael Valenzuela-Guitar) (John Alvarado- Bass Guitar) (Rene Cox- Drums) (Buster Grant-Lead Vocal, lyrics, melodies) (recorded at Boss Studios SA, TX) (July 1984 ?Future Knights? was released by Pazuzu Records) (Mark Anthony Garcia-Guitar was added as the fifth member right before the last song ?Breaking the Spell? was recorded.) In December of 1984 ?Knights of Metal? was released with a different cover but the same record, by Pazuzu Records. AMAZON REVIEW This album rocks! if you dig old school texas metal than you'll love this one and just like old S.A. metal bands like S.A. Slayer, Prezence, & Juggernaut who rock the Alamo city back in the day than you might wanna add Wyzard to the list with songs like crystal city & future knights that kicks a#s why wouldn't you want this in your rock collection...
