First Single/Video:

 

[Darkstone]

Yeah, great stuff.

[All Nights Reserved]

Damn, I just realized I haven't listen to them since Painkiller. But it seems nothing changed.

[grissolm]

Yeah I will check this out. I just hope it will be better than their last one. The lightning strike song is a good start.

[Fat Freddy]

New song sounds good - of course I'll buy it, it's Judas Frickin Priest for crying out loud - but I hope it has more staying power than Redeemer of Souls. I couldn't even tell ya the last time I listened to that one. 

BTW I'm still amazed at how much Richie Faulkner looks like KK Downing's Mini-Me.  I swear, before KK left the band they must've swabbed some of his DNA off a guitar and used it to grow Richie in a lab.

Yupp me too. I am a fan and respect them as heavy metal Gods but I just never sit down and listen to them much.

[nyoilers]

I liked their last one-Redeemer of Souls.Their best release since Painkiller.

[Crazysam]

The band has released the title track as second song off the upcoming album.  I think both tunes sound pretty good.

 

 

[grissolm]

I like this new song. looking forward to this new album.

[grissolm]

 

[Mafisen]

YEAH! I like what I'm hearing so far. 

[metalmaniac777]

The other two songs didn't do much for me, but this one is pretty cool. My waning interest in this album just re-spiked.

[GeorgeRendon]

I was really hoping they would tour to support this album, and I think they will still do but have no intentions of seeing them anymore since the news broke out that Glen Tipton is not going to be touring due to his Parkinson's disease. It will be just Rob Halford and Ian Hill from the line-up that I loved. They should have asked KK Downing to return.

I was knocking the comment lol. 

I might give it a go but I own no JP and consider them one of the most overrated bands in the history of rock.

Not surprising, considering the source. Oh, horrors! I've opened myself up to an opinion of Bruno Mars being a superior singer to Rob Halford; a more talented drummer than Scott Travis, and possessing guitar skills surpassing those of Glenn Tipton, Richie Faulkner & K.K. Downing combined.
