BraveWords Records releases the re-record of “Hiroshima Mon Amour” by Alcatrazz. The single is available today (September 12) on all digital services. “Hiroshima Mon Amour” is taken from the upcoming album, Prior Convictions, which will be released on November 7.
“‘Hiroshima Mon Amour’ is another favorite live, and of mine personally… a fun one to sing with loads of power and range needed… this one will never leave the bands set list live and our new 2025 version of the song shows off the current lineup very well!” – Giles Lavery
Today sees the arrival of the video for new Rage single, “Innovation.” The song appears on the new studio album, A New World Rising.
Peavy Wagner says, “This song doesn’t just deliver speed and power — it also packs the perfect dose of melody and thrash, making it a top-notch showcase for our new album. Its positive message of hope and new beginnings ties it all together…!”
Bay Area thrash metal icons, Testament, return this fall with their fourteenth studio album, Para Bellum, which will be released on October 10 via Nuclear Blast Records. The album stands as both a battle cry and an observation of humanity’s uneasy alliance with its own creations.
