Free Metal Monday: Rebel Wizard-Invocation of the Miserable Ones

Self-Released/Independent
2015

For today's Free Metal Monday offering we will be looking at the Melbourne, Australia's one-man project, Rebel Wizard. Formed in 2013 by Australian musician Nekrasov (with a self-tilted demo appearing in mid-November of that same year), Rebel Wizard has (appropriately-enough) been described as a cross between Iron Maiden and Judas Priest-styled traditional heavy metal and the blackened thrash sounds of Usurper and Aura Noir. Last year alone this atmospheric band released a total of five EPs(!) with the latest one being the 17 minute plus "Invocation of the Miserable Ones". As of this writing (February 22nd, 2016) Rebel Wizard's latest 4-track EP is available to download as a "name your price" option, but then again so is all of Rebel Wizard's back catalog!
