Last year, my boys from PRODUCT OF HATE opened up for WHITE WIZZARD when they made their stop in the Chicago market… a show I was sad to have missed. Now, WHITE WIZZARD is prepping for a new musical onslaught with the June 25th release of their third album, THE DEVIL’S CUT (Century Media/Earache). Today the band unveiled the artwork by Cameron Davis, a copy of which landed in my email here at Rock Father HQ. It’s mighty “metal,” and I dig it.
“It was great to work with the amazing artist Cameron Davis again, who also did the art for our album ‘Over the Top’. Cameron and I live in the same building here in LA and he is a really talented guy. When he presented me the piece for the album cover, I knew right away it was the one. It has amazing imagery and depth and is very artful, while making a tongue-in-cheek statement poking some fun at organized religion, which is something I feel strongly about. Some of my lyrics on this album and previous albums focus on not letting religion and the cult of group belief blind you from the preservation of thinking for yourself and being an individual, so it ties into that very well, as the statement of the piece is how religion is imprisonment for the soul and how, even within its own confines, it forces its believers into blind group submission. I think any of us that went to catholic school as a child can relate to that nun!!! It has ‘classic metal cover’ all over it and it just blew my mind. I look forward to this imagery being out there and am proud to have it be a part of WHITE WIZZARD. To have art of this quality to convey the visual aspects of the band is just fantastic.” Jon Leon, WHITE WIZZARD
