WHITE WIZZARD NOMINATED FOR METAL HAMMER GOLDEN GOD AWARD

Los Angeles traditional heavy metal band WHITE WIZZARD have been nominated
for an award at the 2010 Metal Hammer Golden Gods. The band has been
nominated in the "Best New Band" category at the awards.

WHITE WIZZARD bassist JON LEON comments:

"Being nominated is a true honor. It is amazing how things can happen. I
was just sitting in a room, fed up with the current music scene and I just
had a vision and wrote some songs. It is a great feeling to see the
reaction that has gotten.

"I love music and love what I am playing. I am not compromising at all. I
started this band and made this the band I would want to play in. My ideal
band. So any of this is humbling. It is just great to make the music I
love and I hope it brings back some good energy to metal again and I hope
there are more fun anthems to write and good times ahead. I want to see
people smiling at my shows and having fun. So thanks for the nomination.
It is greatly appreciated."
