ALCATRAZZ TO RELEASE BRAND NEW ALBUM BORN INNOCENT THROUGH SILVER LINING MUSIC

The hard-hitting, melodic heavy metal band Alcatrazz will once again throw down a studio gauntlet on June 26th 2020 with Born Innocent, their first studio venture since 1986’s Dangerous Game. Alongside the unique vocal prowess and range of star frontman and founding member , Born Innocent also 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 , territory Alcatrazz successfully strode in the ‘80s before going on hiatus.

Born Innocent features guest appearances from Chris , who wrote the music and played all guitars on the arpeggio-powered “Born Innocent”, with Bonnet’s vocals soaring to old-school heights, as did for the majestic “I Am The King”. Virtuoso Japanese guitar maestro Nozomu Wakai similarly wrote and played guitars on the double-kick steel-plated Irish warrior ode “Finn McCool”, while the six-string legend that is wrote “Dirty Like The City”, with Bonnet once again powerfully hitting notes that are beyond the business of most humans. Besides the supreme musicianship, Born Innocent features genuine storyteller lyrics courtesy of Bonnet who revels in showing he loves the scent of an entertaining tale, proudly illustrated on the storming lead single “Polar Bear” which bristles with robust old-world adventure.

Though Alcatrazz might well have been Born Innocent, their new album shows they’ve obviously learnt some robust and rawkus things along the way.

Originally released 3 December 1978, Back to Earth would be Cat Steven’s 11th studio album and his last for almost 30 years. 1977 and 1978 were a period of great change for Cat Stevens. He had formally embraced the Muslim faith, changed his name to Yusuf , been awarded Peace Award by the United Nations and had reunited with producer Paul Samwell-Smith and guitarist/collaborator to embark on one last record before turning his back    on the , seemingly for good. Sonically, the album was a return to the acoustic sound of Yusuf’s earlier Super Deluxe Boxset | List Price: $156.98 Release Date: 7/31/20 | Discount: No Discounts work.

Released for the very first time as part of the super deluxe reissue of Yusuf/Cat Stevens 1978 record Back To Earth; two previously unheard tracks recorded during the original sessions, “Butterfly” and “Toy Heart.” YUSUF chose to discount the tracks from the final cut of the record because he considered them to lyrically have too much of a “pop single flavor.” “When I recorded” Yusuf explains, “there would always be one or two songs left over which somehow didn’t fit the mood of the album I wanted to build. Though the songs were good, they were parked on the side.” Both tracks are now released as a very special double A side 7” single. With artwork contribution by Yusuf himself. “Butterfly” is a soaring, groove-based stylistic shift into Philly soul, replete with swooning strings. “Toy Heart,” meanwhile, is a propulsive rocker that in its writer’s mind was “like a song for Elvis.”
