ALCATRAZZ, the iconic Los Angeles-based heavy metal band, has released a new single, “Turn Of The Wheel”, via Silver Lining Music. The song is available now on all digital platforms. The video for the track can be viewed below.
“Turn Of The Wheel” is taken from ALCATRAZZ‘s upcoming studio album, due in the fall. The LP will feature original members Jimmy Waldo and Gary Shea, along with new vocalist Doogie White (RAINBOW, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST), drummer Mark Benquechea and guitarist Joe Stump. Pre-order will begin on July 23.
Alcatrazz released the following statement in regards to 2021: “We are extremely happy that our good friend Doogie White will be our singer for the 2021 Alcatrazz tour dates. We are all fans of Doogie’s voice and impressive catalog of music. We promise an explosive live show of the Alcatrazz classics that you know, plus some added selections from Doogie’s work with Rainbow and Michael Schenker. We might even have a couple of new songs for you as well! We look forward to seeing all our fans and friends in what we hope is a much-needed return to live music next year! See you all soon…Be safe! ”
“‘Turn Of The Wheel’ was the first song we wrote together,” states White. “When I heard the riff and the groove, I thought, ‘Here we go.’ From that moment, it was all hands on deck to do the best album we could. ‘Turn Of The Wheel’ as a complete rawk tune works brilliantly.”
Doogie continues: “We spend so much time wondering about how the mistakes we made yesterday could be made better tomorrow that we forget about today. Today is what we have. Yesterday is gone, and we may not have tomorrow.”
Waldo, Stump, Shea and Benquechea‘s version of ALCATRAZZ has launched a Facebook page where they will be posting all their news going forward.
