Wizard was formed back in 1989 by the drummer Sören van Heek (also called Snoppi). The band is often called "Germany's answer to Manowar". The lyrics are similar: which often are about battles, metal, war, steel and such stuff. (The exception is the album "Odin", which is a concept album about Norse mythology.) Wizard does play a little bit faster than Manowar though, and does have a high-pitched vocalist.

In 2003 longtime guitarist Michael Maass quit the band because of health problems.

In 2006 the band left the label Limb Music after 4 albums and joined the somewhat bigger label Massacre Records with a new album in mind to be released in January 27th, 2007, titled "Goochan".
