Shane’s Music Challenge: WHITE WIZZARD – 2009 – High Speed GTO EP

WHITE WIZZARD – 2009 – High Speed GTO EP

6/10

Through this debut EP and three albums, only bassist Jon Leon has remained a constant member of White Wizzard, whilst five vocalists (6 if you count Leon singing as of the start of this year), seven guitarists (none are currently listen on Wikipedia as being active with the band in 2014), and four drummers. That’s some high speed GTO turnover, man.

Regardless, it’s a killer old school metal EP, with seven songs that feature some great vocals from James Paul-Luna and some wicked melodic guitar mayhem from James LaRue. Leon would sack the rest of the band before the EP was released, and they went on to form Holy Grail.

Highlights include the title track, Into The Night and the thrashier March Of The Skeletons.
