WHITE WIZZARD: 'Introductory' Video Interview Posted Online
May 11, 2009An introductory video interview with the members of Los Angeles, California's heavy metal band WHITE WIZZARD can be viewed below. Shot last week right before a show, the clip is a great introduction to the current lineup of the band, giving you an in-depth look at the personalities of each member. Watch them as they give you their thoughts on beer, destruction, their link to the old school, what makes "good" metal and why WHITE WIZZARD are not opposed to seeing transvestites at their shows. Along with some live performance footage mixed in for good measure, this video's just like joining the band for some drinks and shooting the breeze.
WHITE WIZZARD formed in 2007 and shortly afterwards recorded their "High Speed GTO" demo, which only made it into the hands of a few select fans. Following a brief period of inactivity, the demo fell into the hands of Earache Records and the "High Speed GTO" song was included on "Heavy Metal Killers", a compilation featuring 13 tracks from the best new traditional-sounding heavy metal bands. The band has since regrouped around band leader Jon Leon with a new lineup. Earache is set to release the "High Speed GTO" tracks as a mini-album this summer, with the band working towards a full album due later in the year.
WHITE WIZZARD's 2009 debut is driven by catchy riffs that aim straight for the hips and the heart. The band is lighter than the norm — there's a nimbleness to the WHITE WIZZARD attack and genuine commercial hooks race through all seven songs on the "High Speed GTO" mini-album.
The band's artwork is by the legendary Derek Riggs (IRON MAIDEN),recording by Chris Rakestraw (DANZIG, MOTÖRHEAD),vocal production by Matt Hyde (MONSTER MAGNET, NO DOUBT),and mixing by Ralph Patlan (MEGADETH, MICHAEL SCHENKER).
