A lot of good things have happened lately: We got back the finished mix and masters of our new three songs and we are extremely thrilled with the result.

The mix was done by Andy Rosczyk at Goblin Sound Studio – and this was absolutely the right decision; Andy understood our compositions perfectly and gave them the exact sound shape the songs needed.

For the mastering we worked again with Jonas Ekström at Northmastering as we did for our last releases. Once again, Jonas produced a perfectly brilliant sound.

And so we are happy to announce that Ombreine will be released on April 30, 2023.

The release show will take place on April 1, 2023 at Met-Bar Lenzburg, together with Forced Shadow and Barbara offering one of her solo acoustic performances.
So everyone present will hear the new wazzara songs as the very first, before the official release. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Yes, we’ve already been teasing it here and there and are now pleased to announce a new release for 2023. The songwriting is finished, the tracks are currently being refined and will be recorded soon. We are excited to embark on this new journey and of course look forward to sharing the finished songs with you. More insights soon!

As everything is always subject to constant change, for wazzara it was above all the role on the drum. Julia had to give up the band at the beginning of 2021 due to time constraints. The restless waves finally revealed Deniz Lebovci (Fueled by Fear // ex-Disparaged) & owner of DL Drum School) who has been crowning the band with his unique groove at our first gig & in the vid for Obsidian Skies. We are very happy that Deniz will now join the band also for our future gigs and everything else that may come! ✨🌙

Lyric Video by Olga Kann Art/Design

mænic (“moonstruck” in Middle High German) is a song of praise to the moon and its cycles. Wild and raw, still fragile and melodic, it reflects both nature’s relentless force and its eternal beauty, an ambivalence that builds the core inspiration in wazzara’s music.


This is the first song from our forthcoming album CYLCES (out October 31, 2021).

band picture wazzara

Dear listeners,

I am very happy to announce that wazzara is now a full band!

I have never abandoned the plan to bring wazzara on stage, even though in these times it is very uncertain when shows can be played again under ‘normal’ conditions.

We remain confident and step on it, call it escapism or hopeless optimism. But! we are not only preparing a full live set these days but are also creating new material that will evolve in a full album hopefully sometime soon.

Meet the band:

Babs: Vocals, Guitar, composing (other bands: Between Giants, Isôt estrange, ex-Caladmor)

Mäsi: Guitar (ex-Caladmor)

George: Bass, composing, producing (Between Giants, ex-Lost Chapter, ex-Blasted)

Julia: Drums (Dead Milly)

I am very happy to be now surrounded and supported by these fine people and exceptionally good musicians.

And so may a new chapter unfold…

Picture: it is a great honour that we were able to work with Manuel Vargas Lepiz (Manvarle) again. He is an outstanding photographer and very pleasant to work with. Many thanks Manuel!
