Wuzor recorded a decent chunk of music during their short existence, and
it was consistently good. Dave and I were trading records at the time,
so I acquired all of their records as they were released. The last
package I got from him had a CDR of his new band, Funeral Shock, and a
letter saying Wuzor had disbanded. We lost contact after that, but those
records were in heavy rotation at my house for a couple of years. I
forgot all about Wuzor until I listened to all of my CDs last year and
found a disc with some unreleased tracks on it. Listening to it inspired
me to get in contact with Dave to see about releasing it, but I only
knew him as "Dave". Even today, I still don't know his last name.
Googling combinations of Dave + Wuzor + Wolfman Records + Funeral Shock
turned up nothing. A month prior to this I refused a friend request from
Dave on Facebook because I didn't recognize the name. Eventually, he
sent me a message and everything fell into place. It's funny how these
things come together sometimes.
Wuzor's music is many things at once and reflects what I can only assume
were their influences at the time. It's as sludgy as Sloth (but less
stupid), as epic as Neurosis (without the pretense), as heavy as Floor
(minus the pop tendencies), and rocks as hard as the Melvins (without
the comedy hairstyles). Because all of this stuff was recorded at the
same studio, it plays like the full-length album they never recorded.
