BIG BIG news for all the heavy metal fans. After 30 years, ALCATRAZZ are back with a new album titled ‘Born Innocent’.
Alongside the unique vocal prowess and range of star frontman and founding member Graham Bonnet, “Born Innocent” features fellow founding members Jimmy Waldo and Gary Shea.
And from the classic album art, featuring the mighty rock itself, “Born Innocent” is a journey into the sort of heavy, melodic and supremely articulated hard rock that is a cornerstone of the likes of RAINBOW and the MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP, territory ALCATRAZZ successfully strode in the 1980s before going on hiatus.
Debuting on “Born Innocent” is the latest of the illustrious ALCATRAZZ guitarists to bring their extreme six-string talents to the band, with Boston-based Berklee College Of Music assistant professor of guitar, and one-man metal impresario Joe Stump perhaps proving the finest of a list which includes the likes of Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai.
“The name ALCATRAZZ is a brand name,” announces Bonnet.
“People know what ALCATRAZZ delivers, and on this album you have the original ideas of ALCATRAZZ but played in a modern way with new inspiration.”
