Alias woman enough


Never Say Never, released in 2009, is the second album from the 1990s hard rock band Alias.

Contents

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 never 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.
