STUCK MOJO guitarist/vocalist Rich ward has checked in with the latest update on the new FOZZY record:

"Just finished the last mix of the new Fozzy album. Back to mastering tomorrow, then it's off to Century Media Records!"

As previously reported, Fozzy will be returning to the Sunset Strip in Hollywood in September for the release of their new record. The band will perform at the Roxy on September 27th. Tickets for this event went on sale Wednesday, May 30th.

As a kick-off for the live cycle of their upcoming album, Fozzy will play the legendary Download Festival, two exclusive club shows with UGLY KID JOE and SOiL, and the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards in the UK - which lead singer Chris Jericho will be hosting.

Fozzy's UK tour schedule is as follows:

June

6 - London, UK - Underworld (with Ugly Kid Joe)
7 - Wolverhampton, UK - Slade Rooms (with Soil)
9 - Donington Park, UK - Download Festival
11 - London, UK - Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards (riverboat performance) Indigo (O2 Arena)

Fozzy (lead singer Chris Jericho, guitarist Rich Ward, drummer Frank Fontsere, bassist Paul DiLeo and guitarist Billy Grey) will release their Century Media debut worldwide in the late summer of 2012. This, their sixth album, will be the follow-up to their 2010 release Chasing The Grail, which saw them tour 15 countries around the world and perform in cities from Los Angeles to Lichtenvoorde, including an appearance alongside metal’s Big 4 – METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX – on the Knebworth Sonisphere UK, and a string of dates on the 2011 Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival headlined by AVENGED SEVENFOLD. The above mentioned shows are just a hint of things to come – Fozzy have already confirmed extensive worldwide touring in support of their upcoming album.

Rich Ward: "Although every band says 'this is the best thing we've ever done,' I can honestly say that this new album is going to blow everyone away. It's the epitome of who Fozzy is as a band and will expand upon the ultra-heavy yet super melodic and hooky territory that we've refined for the last 12 years. I have a strong feeling that this will be known as our definitive masterpiece for years to come."
