Product Description
Contents: 49 years since their formation, Judas Priest, who have not only led the global heavy metal scene but also symbolize British heavy metal itself, present their 18th original album. Their previous album, "Incarnation of Redemption," which returned to the quintessential Judas Priest heavy metal style from beginning to end, was a worldwide success, reaching their highest position ever in the US at number 6, thanks in part to the unexpected contributions of Richie Faulkner, who joined as the replacement for K.K. Downing (G). This album not only marks the first time that the band has enlisted the help of metal's super-popular producer Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Arch Enemy, Accept, Exodus, Soulfly, Killswitch Engage, etc.), but also brings back Tom Allom, who produced their heyday albums from 1979's "In the East" to 1988's "Lamb It Down," after a full 30 years. Furthermore, Mike Exeter, who produced and mixed their previous album (and also worked on Black Sabbath's "13"), participates as an engineer, resulting in a truly solid and luxurious lineup. In 2018, the fiery passion and devastatingly powerful "god-like shouts" of the metal gods will strike the scene once again! Media reviews and more: A metal cannon explosion. The British heavy metal legends unleash their 18th album in four years! Powerful, speedy, and loud. Undoubtedly a classic Priest album, yet delivered with a modern metal sound that races through the air like lightning! This album not only features the first-ever collaboration with Andy Sneap, a highly sought-after producer in the heavy metal world, but also brings back Tom Allom, who produced all of Priest's golden-era albums from 1979's "In the East" to 1988's "Lamb It Down," after a full 30 years. Furthermore, Mike Exeter, who produced and mixed the previous album, participates as the recording engineer, resulting in a solid and luxurious lineup. While the content of all 14 tracks is excellent, the high-energy, passionate vocals of "Metal God" Rob Halford are particularly phenomenal, making this an exceptionally well-crafted album. In 2018, the burning flames of conviction and the devastatingly powerful "God-like shouts" of the Metal God will strike the scene once again! (C)RS
