(Description excerpt borrowed from Metal Archives, written by PhilosophicalFrog, June 11th, 2015):
"...Vardan really does carve out a niche sound here, and this is the first full album of his that actually has a cohesive atmosphere and delivers an effective and haunting experience. The first song: "Unpurity" is a ten minute monster with distant vocals drenched in reverb, razor sharp guitar riffs with melodic tremolo buried beneath the fuzz and a warm bassline that rumbles beneath the crashing waves of the guitars. The effect is very much like the listener is sinking beneath the water, too tired to continue. "Spirit without a Body" is a massive cavernous mid-paced dirge filled with these mournful melodies that layer upon one another and create a very hypnotic and evocative listen without resorting to any real change.The title track is easily the most memorable, as it's exactly the type of sound he started on the split - weeping guitars are accented by a slow, melodic bass, while Vardan howls in the distance - minor chords are woven into the tapestry of single note leads. The drums change to a 4/4 about halfway through and really add a punch to the samey atmosphere of the last few songs."

As the V title suggests, Alcatrazz unleash their fifth studio album upon the world this Autumn, and it is their strongest, tightest, heaviest and most unified studio work yet. Featuring the founding members Jimmy Waldo and Gary Shea, Alcatrazz welcomes singer Doogie White to the fold, where he joins Mark Benquechea and guitar God prodigy Joe Stump in creating 12 masterful melodic metal selections. From the furious tempest of opener ‘Guardian Angel’ to the speedy melodic metal of ‘Turn of the Wheel’ on through to bluesier heavyweights such as ‘House of Lies’, White nails every note and the band carries an energy not heard for many a year. The true noise, however, will erupt around Stump’s performance. Whether shredding like legendary past-members Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai, or delivering tasteful, rich solos, Stump’s performance will surely catapult him into the canon of metal guitar God virtuosos. The album was produced by Giles Lavery and Jimmy Waldo, and mixed/mastered by Andy Haller, and features guest appearances from Saxon’s Nigel Glockler, Donnie Van Stavern of Riot and Cliff Evans of Tank. Alcatrazz have created a masterful piece of work that will satiate their fans and heartily engage lovers of Rainbow, Saxon and real melodic metal music. V as a title stands for this being their fifth studio album, but truthfully, it could just as easily stand for the Victory that belongs to Alcatrazz with these songs.
