BraveWords Records releases PRIOR CONVICTIONS, the new album by Alcatrazz. PRIOR CONVICTIONS contains newly re-recorded versions of nine 1980s era Alcatrazz songs, all featuring new vocalist Giles Lavery. Plus two brand new band compositions “Transylvanian Requiem” and “Stand And Wait Your Turn”.
Members of Alcatrazz shared their comments on the new album PRIOR CONVICTIONS:
“We are excited to release our new “re-recordings” (plus two new songs)… this release embodies how the band sounds in 2025 and sets up the next full length original studio album perfectly, which we are writing and recording as we speak” – Giles Lavery, lead singer
“This lineup of the band is firing on all cylinders, we couldn’t be more excited with the release of “Prior Convictions” and the upcoming European Tour.” – Jimmy Waldo, keyboards
“Something old is something new and these new versions of some of the old Alcatrazz classics are killer and 100% METAL” – Joe Stump, lead guitar
“My prior convictions have always remained true, step up and rock hard. Our new album Prior Convictions continues the Alcatrazz saga with a 21st century twist of classic songs and new music.” – Gary Shea, bass guitar
