Never Say Never (Alias Album)
''Never Say Never'', released in 2009, is the second album from the 1990s hard rock band Alias. In early January 2009, Alias announced the release of their long-awaited second album. This album, appropriately titled ''Never Say Never'', sat unreleased for nearly 18 years. It was recorded in 1992 and was planned to follow the self-titled debut album ''Alias''. However, due to the rapidly evolving music scene of that time where the grunge movement was growing in popularity and metal was fading, it was not released. A few of the songs from this album were re-recorded and appeared on lead vocalist Freddy Curci's solo album ''Dreamer's Road'', but many tracks remained unreleased. House of Lords vocalist James Christian recorded 3 of the ''Never Say Never'' songs, "Pleasure and Pain", "The Warden", and "Woman Enough", for his 1994 debut solo album, ''Rude Awakening'', although "Woman Enough" only appears as a bonus track on the Japanese edition and the expanded 1999 Frontiers re-issue ...

Sheriff's singles, particularly " When I'm with You", received a large amount of airplay and reached No. 1 in Canada. Although promotion and distribution problems stalled the record's initial American momentum, the song reached No. 61 on the ''Billboard'' charts. Reports of fans not being able to buy the record in stores plagued Sheriff's American tour.

Heavy Metal Music
Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and United States. With roots in blues rock, psychedelic rock and acid rock, heavy metal bands developed a thick, monumental sound characterized by distortion (music), distorted guitars, extended guitar solos, emphatic Beat (music), beats and loudness. In 1968, three of the genre's most famous pioneers – Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple – were founded. Though they came to attract wide audiences, they were often derided by critics. Several American bands modified heavy metal into more accessible forms during the 1970s: the raw, sleazy sound and shock rock of Alice Cooper and Kiss (band), Kiss; the blues-rooted rock of Aerosmith; and the flashy guitar leads and party rock of Van Halen. During the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence,Walser (1993), p. 6 while Motörhea ...
