Judas Priest, the metal gods who still reign supreme as the pinnacle of British heavy metal legends, achieved a massive hit in 2018 with "Firepower," reaching number 5 in both the US and the UK, and particularly achieving their highest chart position to date in the US. Now, six years after their previous album, which once again showcased their overwhelming power, and their first original album since being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, the album is complete. Richie Faulkner (G), who joined in 2011, not only brings a solid and speedy dynamism to the band but also demonstrates his talent as a songwriter, while producer/engineer Andy Sneap, who has been working with them since the previous album, has built an even edgier and more powerful Priest sound, taking Rob Halford's "god-like shouts" to a new level. Moreover, Andy has also been filling in for Glenn Tipton (G) on tour, and has now become such an important presence that he could be called the "sixth member." As evidenced by the energetic tracks released in advance, it's now undeniable that this album is a powerful work befitting the milestone of their great career, marking 50 years since their debut.
