This Friday, January 12th, marks the release of the new
album by White Wizzard. Today the band is pleased to premiere the lyric video
to the album’s heavy metal title track, Infernal Overdrive.
Fans have long anticipated the return full-length from
traditional metal heroes White Wizzard, who revamped their lineup last year to
include the return of their strongest players to date, vocalist Wyatt
“Screaming Demon” Anderson and guitarist James J. LaRue. Reviews have been
overly positive and critics are recognizing the band firing on all cylinders by
not only bringing back all of their expected true metal ingredients but
flavoring this hour-plus ride with an expanded repertoire of moods and
influences citing comparisons to Rush, Led Zeppelin and Metallica on certain
tracks, all highlighted by the group’s seasoned musicianship and proper album
production, courtesy of Ralph Patlan (Megadeth, UFO).
“We’re very excited to release yet another song from our new
album via this lyric video created by LaRue. The lyrics are a bit of a
sarcastic comment on modern times... as we watch technology and idiocy fuse
together for one entertaining ride as humanity circles the drain into the
abyss!” explains Jon Leon. “We bring it a bit heavier here and Wyatt sings his
ass off on this one. We are really proud of the new album and super excited to
finally share it with the fans. We’re doing a special run of shows starting
Wednesday and are super excited to announce that Devil’s Cut axe grinder Will
Willner will be joining us on second guitar live. He complements LaRue
perfectly and it’s a very strong tandem!"
Next up, White Wizzard just shot a proper promo video for a
more epic track, Chasing Dragons, so keep an eye out for that. Infernal Overdrive,
the band’s fourth full-length, will be released on all digital platforms, as
well as CD and gatefold double colored vinyl (orange haze retail version or
white exclusive from the band & label). Order now at
