release notes:
"Wizard Tattoo creates genre-defying music that blends doom, stoner rock,
jazz, black metal and grunge. With their music, Wizard Tattoo captivates
with haunting melodies, heavy riffs, and introspective lyrics inspired by
comics, horror, and fantasy. Their DIY approach showcases their
commitment, balancing heaviness and melody for an unforgettable
experience."
Wizard Tattoo, the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Bram the Bard, is
excited to announce the release of their full-length album Living Just
for Knife Fighting on December 6, 2024. This album combines the visceral
energy of the recently released EP One of These Knives (tracks 5-8) and
the dark, introspective Living Just for Dying EP (tracks 1-4) into one
cohesive and powerful listening experience.
But that's not all-Living Just for Knife Fighting also features three
exclusive cover tracks that add an innovative twist to the Wizard Tattoo
sound:
-"In the Meantime" (originally by Helmet) - Vocals by Bram the Bard
-"Dirty Black Summer" (originally by Danzig) - Vocals by Djinnifer
-"Orgasmatron" (originally by Motörhead) - Vocals by Fausto Aurelius
A Unified Album with New Surprises
While some fans may already be familiar with both EPs, Living Just for
Knife Fighting takes them to the next level by offering new material
alongside the previously released tracks. The album brings together the
intricate storytelling and genre-blending that defines Wizard Tattoo,
weaving together doom, stoner metal, psych rock, prog rock, and a unique
narrative vision. These new cover tracks aren't just add-ons-they offer a
dynamic interpretation of iconic songs, creating an album that feels both
familiar and completely new.
A Journey Through Dark Landscapes
Living Just for Knife Fighting isn't just a combination of two EPs-it's
the culmination of Wizard Tattoo's journey throughout 2024. The album
explores dark, fantastical themes through tracks like "Varsak of Man"
from One of These Knives and "The Wizard Who Loved Me" from Living Just
for Dying, creating an experience that is at once heavy, diverse, and
deeply atmospheric.
A Must-Listen for Fans of Doom, Stoner Metal, and More
For fans who have supported Wizard Tattoo's journey through Living Just
for Dying and One of These Knives, this album offers something new and
exciting, while still remaining true to the heavy, experimental core of
Wizard Tattoo's sound. With these new covers, the album is a perfect
bridge between Bram the Bard's original music and his influences.
