{"product_id":"spife_the-wizard-in-the-field_2025_dif","title":"The Wizard In The Field","description":"Crypt of the Wizard is proud to present Spife - The Wizard in the Field on vinyl and digital format. \"Follow the wizard, as he makes his way through fields ravaged by corruption. In order to cleanse the land, he must concoct a ritual of regrowth.\" The ever-shifting and prolific Spife makes his debut on the Crypt of the Wizard label with a record entitled The Wizard in the Field - a fittingly thaumaturgic meeting of minds. Rooted in Dungeon Synth and fantasy, Spife has rapidly grown in a variety of different directions, more or less simultaneously, resulting in a restless flurry of excellent releases, most destined to remain as digital relics as audiences do their best to keep up. We felt it was this particular release that needed to be forged into a more enduring format, though it could have easily been several others. The Wizard in the Field catches Spife at an important transition, leaning into a sound somewhere closer to a frantic progressive neo-folk steeped in alchemical poetic themes and lyrics than other recent releases. An incredibly accomplished record in both composition and instrumentation, as well as its unapologetic and confident declaration of an unnameable approach to the genre. Hard to believe this is the product of just one human being. With his seemingly superhuman music-making capabilities, it's possible there's more to Spife than meets the eye.","brand":"Spife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55307176018264,"sku":null,"price":23644099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/5056321697561_e59f7268-0eba-4eaa-aff8-73edeea5ba59.jpg?v=1760311766","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/spife_the-wizard-in-the-field_2025_dif","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
