Alcatrazz's new album Take No Prisoners is out now and is available on CD Digipak, 12” Black Vinyl, Digital Download, Streaming and special D2C bundles; pre-order now at at this location.
Alcatrazz are determined to make up for lost time, roaring forwards at warp factor 10 to deliver Take No Prisoners, their sixth studio album and the third in three years. Comprising of ten cracking, charismatic tracks, with each containing the unique fusion of classic American rock with the full grain hard-rocking attitude of British metal, Take No Prisoners sees Alcatrazz energetically soaring and exploring melodic progression with road-warrior riffs. ‘Little Viper’ rides a scything guitar into a thunderous, Dio-like assault, whilst the band also show their calmer, more expansive side with the epic ‘Strangers’, but when an album finishes at the burn point of ‘Bring On The Rawk’, there can be no question that Alcatrazz’s collective boot is repeatedly kicking serious ass!!!

Comprised of Doogie White (vocals), Joe Stump (guitars), Jimmy Waldo (keyboards), Gary Shea (bass) and Larry Paterson (drums), and with Giles Lavery and Waldo producing, Take No Prisoners is a loudly and proudly classic rock album which draws on the Alcatrazz traditions of technically excellent screaming guitars, thunderous rhythm and the sort of vocals and overall aura that evoke prime Dio and Rainbow. And, of course, a primed and fully-tuned up Alcatrazz, whose career is fast taking on Benjamin Button proportions.
“You need to listen to this record - everything else would be more than careless!” – BREAK OUT br>
“Second time with Doogie White - classic hard rock with NWOBHM influence.” – CLASSIC ROCK br>
“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 br>
“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 br>
“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 br>
Following the success of Alcatrazz’s co-headline UK tour with Girlschool earlier this year, Alcatrazz show no sign of slowing down. Keep your eyes peeled for more 2023 dates to be announced soon. Visit www.alcatrazzofficial.com
