About Wizards Of Firetop Mountain
Wizards Of Firetop Mountain are a hard rock and doomy metal band forged from the remnants of some of Dublin’s pioneering underground Irish bands, including ZOM, No Spill Blood, Dread Sovereign and others. The band started as a three piece in 2008 and became a five piece band - Tob (guitar), Karen (bass), Dunchee (vocals), Ror (drums), Hooly (guitar).Their double sided single, Sonic War and Dollar Hips, cast to vinyl in April 2013 by Into The Void Records, has spread through the underground scene to high praise and this success has been solidified by the cassette release of Warrior and Wild Lad in December 2014, selling out on it’s launch.
This led to a successful headline tour of France and opening slots for international acts like Corrosion of Conformity, Sleep and Acid Mothers Temple to name a few as well as many festival headline performances all over Ireland including The Siege Of Limerick, Knockanstockan and Indiependence Music and Arts Festival in Cork.
Live, Wizards of Firetop Mountain have impressed both the critics and music fans alike. The band showed their worth by being chosen to headline both the Whelan's Ones To Watch and the penultimate stage of the Dublin Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon.
Their self-titled debut album, engineered with Ola Erfsjord in Temple Lane Studios (November 2014) and featuring cover art from the world renowned artist Jim Fitzpatrick, was released in 2015.
