Prior Convictions [CD]

Alcatrazz - Prior Convictions - Prior Convictions presents a fresh chapter in Alcatrazz's legacy, bringing together newly re-recorded versions of nine 1980s-era classics alongside two brand-new compositions, "Transylvanian Requiem" and "Stand And Wait Your Turn." The album delivers a powerful mix of tradition and modern intensity, showcasing the band's enduring impact on heavy metal. Founding members Jimmy Waldo (keyboards) and Gary Shea (bass) continue the legacy they launched in 1983, while guitar virtuoso Joe "Shredlord" Stump adds his trademark neo-classical firepower. Frontman Giles Lavery (Warlord/Jack Starr/Dragonsclaw) honors the band's history while proving himself a commanding vocalist in the Alcatrazz lineage. The result is a record that bridges past and present with fierce conviction.
