Kalispell, Montana's Wizzerd formed in 2015 in one of the most geographically remote metal scenes in the country, and that isolation informs their sprawling, cosmic take on stoner and doom metal.

Among the handful of heavy bands calling Montana home, Wizzerd stand out for their genuine ambition and prolific output.
