Los Angeles-based classic metal outfit White Wizzard formed in 2007. After enduring several lineup changes, the band finally seems to have settled on solid ground. Their early albums — High Speed GTO and Over The Top — treated fans to some solid, catchy old-school metal. The next album, Flying Tigers, took the band into new musical territory. Their upcoming release, The Devil's Cut, sees them progress even further with scorching lead guitar work.

Following pre-production, the next stage in an album's production will be the actual recording process, which involves tracking each instrument. From this point on, every decision will affect the final outcome of the project, and that's why bands hire producers to oversee the process and make sure everything is done correctly.

I'll be recording an album with White Wizzard and wanted to give you some insight into the process of making a heavy metal album in 2013. I'm going to talk about the whole process, from pre-production to mastering, and try to give you my take on each step. The first stage is pre-production, which is when a band will take their song ideas and begin to finalize the arrangements, melodies, lyrics, etc., so that every song is fully prepared and ready to record.

Around the time of the last entry I had just joined the heavy metal band White Wizzard (Earache Records), and shortly thereafter we left for a month long tour with Firewind in the United States, followed by a two month European run as direct support for Iced Earth.
