Red Wizard to Release Cosmosis April 8; “Tides of War” Streaming Now
STB Records has had this one listed for a minute or so, but it’s good to get some confirmation from the PR wire for the release of San Diego heavy rockers Red Wizard‘s debut album, Cosmosis. It’ll be out on Ripple Music on CD and STB vinyl April 8, and for a group making their debut, that’s some pretty significant backing to attain. The track “Tides of War” is streaming now and finds them deep into thick grooves and a burled-out feel, but the cover art for the record, which you can see below, seems to herald some spacier fare, so we’ll have to wait to hear how much “Tides of War” represents the offering as a whole. The band also issued a self-titled demo/EP in 2014 that featured a particularly dudely take on Black Sabbath‘s “The Wizard.”
You want information? The PR wire’s got some. No charge:
RED WIZARD: San Diego stoner rockers to release debut album through Ripple Music/STB Records | Stream and share new single ‘Tides Of War’
Cosmosis by Red Wizard is released worldwide through Ripple Music/STB Records on 8th April 2016
With amps turned to eleven and feet flat out on vintage fuzz pedals, San Diegan stoners Red Wizard know exactly how to convert raw hertz into high voltage rock and roll.
Newly signed to Ripple Music, their debut album Cosmosis is an exercise in pure hard rock indulgence. As teens plucked from another era – outta time and outta mind – their roughly hewn approach to proto-metal is shaped as much by prevailing Pacific Coast winds as it is their parents’ record collections.
Steeped in the pre-1978 sounds synonymous with Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, Red Wizard have developed a sizable and almost effortless reputation in the Californian underground metal community as a unique and energetic live act. Helped in no small part by last year’s release of their self-titled/STB Records-approved EP Red Wizard, across seven new tracks, easily their heaviest collection to date, Cosmosis explores the depths and majesty of ’70s metal and contemporary stoner rock. Placing huge riffs, blazing vocals and bone shaking rhythms amid a wide expanse of progressive sonic assaults.
