Los Angeles traditional heavy metal act WHITE WIZZARD have officially revealed the details for their forthcoming new album, titled FLYING TIGERS.

FLYING TIGERS features twelve new tracks and expands on the band's traditional heavy metal blueprint, with songs ranging from fist-pumping NWOBHM-style anthems, through the arena rock power of "Starchild", to a six-track epic concept piece featuring science-fiction and philosophical elements tied together with a progressive vibe.

FLYING TIGERS features the core WHITE WIZZARD line-up of bassist, songwriter and founding member JON LEON, drummer GIOVANNI DURST and studio vocalist WYATT ANDERSON, who featured on the band's debut album, OVER THE TOP.  The album was once again recorded with producer RALPH PATLAN in Phoenix, Arizona.
