WHITE WIZZARD BASSIST, JON LEON GIVES STUDIO UPDATE FOR NEW ALBUM

Los Angeles traditional metal heroes, WHITE WIZZARD are nearly at the end of
the sessions for the full-length followup to their HIGH SPEED GTO
mini-album. The as of yet untitled album is being produced by RALPH PATLAN
(MEGADETH, UFO, MICHAEL SCHENKER). WHITE WIZZARD bassist, Jon Leon checks in
with a short update concerning the progress of the recording sessions and
the steps thereafter:

"We're just finishing up tracking our full length album. 10 songs that will
rip your head off....The screaming demon (singer, Wyatt Anderson) just
finished his vocal tracks and he did an amazing job. We are taking a week
off and then next week we will go to mix. We will be mixing the record at
legendary Prairie Sun Recording in Northern California. I cannot wait until
this record is released, expecting to have it out in early 2010 and then we
will tour like mad. We are all excited for next year."

Listen to early versions of 2 songs expected to be on WHITE WIZZARD's 2010
full length followup, "40 Deuces" and "Over the Top" on the band's official

The Village Voice proclaims: "All Hail WHITE WIZZARD and the New Wave of
