Crafted over 2024–2025, “Too Late” is the latest release from Finnish Doom Metal band  Wizards of Hazards’ upcoming catalog — a track that came together piece by piece, like a puzzle clicking into place.

And we let the Wizards themselves to tell about the song:

“It all started with a riff — originally played in reverse. But in Ville’s head, it kept flipping around. When we finally tried it the other way, everything suddenly made sense. The groove locked in, the energy clicked, and the song found its true shape.

The drums were recorded in full takes, capturing the raw feel of a live performance — we picked the best take, the one that had just the right momentum. Amir brought his signature laid-back style to the bass, composing much of the line on the spot in the studio, letting instinct lead the way.

Vocally, Ville and producer Sam nailed an intense drive that powers the whole track. Originally, the verses felt a bit cramped — until a breakthrough moment where the final line was lifted to the top of the next section. Suddenly, the lyrics had room to breathe, and the phrasing came alive.

And the final touch? A subtle effect on the intro riff with a volume drop — making the moment the full band kicks in hit like a cannon blast.

“Too Late” is a song that came to life through experimentation, intuition, and instinct — and we can’t wait for you to hear it.”

WIZARDS OF HAZARDS are a traditional Doom Metal band from Middle Finland. Sharing the same interest for vintage instruments and heavy music composing. Their musical influences come from the recordings of the analog aeons, mostly 70’s and 80’s heavy metal, and their lyrics are inspired by bygone times, supernatural phenomenons and old tales & beliefs. After decades of jamming and performing as a trio, they shifted their shapes into a four piece and changed their name to WIZARDS OF HAZARDS.

WIZARDS OF HAZARDS are a heavy metal band from Middle Finland. Sharing the same interest for vintage instruments and heavy music composing, they are doing their own music entirely through full analog signal chain. Their musical influences come from the recordings of the analog aeons, mostly 70’s and 80’s heavy metal, and their lyrics are inspired by bygone times, supernatural phenomenons and old tales & beliefs. After decades of jamming and performing as a trio, they shifted their shapes into a four piece and changed their name to WIZARDS OF HAZARDS.

A debut album END OF TIME came out 2020. Album consists of doomish, heavy riffed songs from the band’s early years, and three of those were pre-released on the BLIND LEADS THE BLIND EP on that same year – both releases came via Inverse Records. Recordings were made on RTM SM900 magnetic tape within two sessions in january and june 2020 under the brilliant guidance of analog wizard Anssi Kippo at Astia-studios, Lappeenranta Finland.

The BLACK WIZARD EP was released on december 2021 by Inverse Records, and it was a hats off to their roots with ep given the band’s former name. Those three, very old songs came from the same session at the Astia-studio november 2021 as all the songs of the second album SUPERNATURAL. Although most of the songs of their second long play were made long ago, the lyrics of the album are unfortunately valid and sadly true today also. The cover art presents stunning sculptures of Vilde Hage Aune, and all the songs were recorded again on magnetic tapes with help of Mr. Kippo in that doomy & riff-based, vintage sounding way of the WIZARDS OF HAZARDS.
