WHITESNAKE leader David Coverdale is sharing video of his new studio, Hook City, in Reno, Nevada.

The singer refers to the project as “a labor of love and a work of art.”

WHITESNAKE were in the news last month when Coverdale updated fans on the status of the band’s search for a new guitarist, following the departure of longtime axeman Doug Aldrich in May.

"I see there's all kinds of interesting posts and some 'demands' about whom I should work with,” posted Coverdale on the group’s website. "As always, I sincerely thank you all for your generosity, but, with all due respect, I'll be making the decision who the band and I are going to work with.”

Aldrich announced his departure from Whitesnake in May due to scheduling conflicts with other projects on his plate.

The guitarist joined WHITESNAKE in 2003 for the band’s 25th anniversary tour; he appeared on 2008’s “Good To Be Bad” and 2011’s “Forevermore” albums, as well as 2013’s live release, “Made In Japan.”

Prior to teaming up with Coverdale, Aldrich was a member of Dio, Burning Rain and Lion.
