ALCATRAZZ- "Born innocent"

Graham Bonnet decided to put out of the ice ALCATRAZZ and with the help of some excellent guitar slingers  like Impellitteri, Stump he is giving us an album that is reminiscent of the Malmsteen era, or the 'Stand in line" era of Impellitteri. Melodic heavy rock with one of the most underrated singers of the genre . Full of power, neo classical influences "We are born innocent" , the rhythm section that made ALCATRAZZ famous and keyboards from the Jon Lord school of keyboard playing. In your face, although the band members could have grand children.They still have the rock n roll fire to attack with everything they got the listener.'Polar bear' has a 'Jet to jet" feeling and Bonnet delivers the goods , like we are in the 80s.. The album is filled with uptempo songs like "Finn McCool" , 'London 1666", "I am the king" You can look all around for melodic heavy rock with classical overtones, but you won't find it so well played and with the trademark vocals of G.B. 

 

An album that resurrects the name, far away from the more commercial day, points at today's RAINBOW and shows them the way to the stars and success. An absolute mind blower. Mr Bonnet, I met you in person a few years ago, and paid my respects for the songs you have given us. Now I pay my respects for such an incredible heavy rock album, from a band coming not to make some quick money but to offer some really contemporary songs, for those who like their metal -neo classical. Yngwie, give the man a call, he may save your sinking ship. Imagine of Bonnet really liked metal music, what he could have done
