WHITE WIZZARD;OVER THE TOP (2010)

I looked at the search place for a topic about this album but i didnt found it.
My opinion is that i love it, just a great heavy metal albums with many great songs with cool chorus and guitar solos. Together with STEELHORSE, WILD, CAULDRON, ENFORCER, WITCHCURSE, SKULLFIST or CRYSTAL VYPER they are one of my fave bands today. This album will end high in my top 25 of 2010 for shore.

The samples sound great and I probably will eventually pick this up.

Yeah, i thought they were just an other heavy metal band but i think this songs are special and just increible great:

Yeah very good band. I like the song over the top in particular.

Very 80 ish

first i've ever heard of them, but it ain't bad.

Good stuff!!@! Picked them up after someone put a song by them on an HoM comp

Most of White Wizzard, except for the bassist) is in a new band called Holy Grail. http://www.whitewizzard.com/

Here is the "old" White Wizzard song.



That new album is KILLER and the Holy Grail cd is too. Pretty cool rivalry thing churning out great tunes.

Very Good album as was High Speed GTO.Heres the weird thing though,I just got Over the Top this year and was all ready to put it on my list for 2010 but the date on the CD is 2009.When you look it up on Amozon its listed as a 2010 release.Anyway,its still a great album either way.

Love this album, very old school with some kick arse metal anthems. Too bad the vocalist is no longer with them because he is awesome.

thanks for the clips

One of those "heard of... but never heard" trips

Yeah, but also some songs reminds me of old BARREN CROSS strange enough.

I think it's the bass lines being kind of out front and prominent that makes it feel like Barren Cross, I thought the same thing as I listened to the songs. There is a definite Steve Harris influence to the bassist, for sure.

YEAHHHHH, and also the voice of the singer reminds me of BARREN CROSS/BRUCE DICKINSON, but more like BC at some songs, not all the songs.

Anyone like RAM? There song Sudden Impact is great in my opinion. You can hear some of their tracks on MySpace http://www.myspace.com/rammetal

Yes, RAM is a good band too.

If you guys like the bands mentioned above, you might like these guys. Armour from Finland. Pretty good traditional heavy metal.

Krokus what did you just did? I think you just forced me to get the new white wizard album

I cannot get over the feeling that these guys are some sorta joke/novelty band, like Steel Panther or even The Darkness. I can't tell if they're doing the 80's metal thing because of a true love of the music, or it's some sort of hip ironic so-bad-it's-cool mentality. It's sound pretty good though.

The rotating door of band members certainly doesn't help the situation either.

There's definitely a hokey quality to them.

There is but the music is quality. I find Steel Panther's music to be too cheesy.
