ALCATRAZZ, the mighty Los Angeles-born guitar-driven heavy metal icons, have released their fifth studio album, aptly titled V, via Silver Lining Music. V is available to buy/stream/download at this location
Both vintage and timeless, V treads the Alcatrazz textured-territories of old but with renewed vigor and verve. Whether it be the choral-echoes sitting inside the storming tempest which is ‘Nightwatch,’ the staunch, speedy melodic metal of ‘Turn Of The Wheel’ or the thick, bluesy chug of ‘House Of Lies,’ there is little doubt that this Alcatrazz is going full-tilt with not one ounce of a shackle holding them back.
Produced by Giles Lavery and Jimmy Waldo, and mixed by Andy Haller (Elton John, Joe Cocker and System of a Down), V also includes guest appearances from Saxon’s Nigel Glockler (drums on ‘Guardian Angel’ and ‘Blackheart’), Tank’s Cliff Evans (bass on ‘Grace of God’) and Donnie Van Stavern of Riot (bass on ‘Guardian Angel’, ‘Nightwatch’ and ‘Target’), underscoring how perennially popular Alcatrazz’s music remains with their peers.
PRESS
“You need to listen to this record - everything else would be more than careless!” – BREAK OUT
“Second time with Doogie White - classic hard rock with NWOBHM influence.” – CLASSIC ROCK
“Some racy songs (‘Bring On The Rawk’), highly melodic (‘Don’t Get Mad…Get Even’) but always to the point and with sensational great guitar work from Joe Stump.” – DEAF FOREVER
“The voice of White is one of a typical heavy rock singer with a rough tone in his voice. His voice fits pretty good to the sound of each song. Alcatrazz is showing themselves at their very best on Take No Prisoners and created one of their strongest records. Even after more than 40 years Alcatrazz are one of the best actual bands in heavy metal.” – HOOKED-ON-MUSIC
“Alcatrazz is tighter, heavier, and more laser-focused than they have ever been with their latest release Take No Prisoners. The band couldn’t have come up with a more appropriate name for the album as everyone delivers intense and notable performances throughout. The addition of Doogie White on vocals has lit a fire under Alcatrazz that is not likely to burn out any time soon.” – KNAC
