Metal songs explicitly mentioning wizards, basically. I think that wizard metal is an iconic art, but I'm struggling to find more. Band names and song titles about wizards won't cut it, the song lyrics have to focus on a wizard/wizards. Though, songs about similar occupations like sorcerers and warlocks are good. Genre doesn't matter much, I'll also accept songs that could be considered rock, like Rainbow's "Stargazer". That song and "A Sorcerer's Pledge" by Candlemass are great examples of what I'm looking for, lyrically.

If you are interested in D&D Raistlin is pretty much THE fantasy wizard :)



Pagan Altar's The Sorcerer is a good listen too

Blind Guardian qualify for this, as you probably know. Half of their early stuff is just about Gandalf.
