DARK MIST by WIZARD OZ is a matrix of blazing shredding mastery and epic song writing including massive opening riffs, spectacular interludes and soaring solos. With a diverse collection of offerings, Dark Mist is a magical journey of instrumental songs derived from the Wizard's emotions, transposed into a tapestry of electric and acoustic artistry. Inspired by Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and many other guitar greats, Oz's music is the sound scape of the land of Oz, full of heart and soul.
