Heavy metal icons Judas Priest are celebrating their 40-year anniversary as a band with a new release. Redeemer of Souls promises to bring their sound back to the definitive “leather and metal” roots that Judas Priest popularized in the 1980s.
Finding mainstream success with albums such as Point of Entry and Screaming for Vengeance, the band has recorded 17 albums which have sold over 50 million copies worldwide.
In 2006, MTV crowned Judas Priest as “The Greatest Metal Band of All Time.”
Singer and frontman Rob Halford is often hailed as having one of metal’s most distinctive voices. The band has chronicled 26 tours during their tenure as a group, oftentimes traveling around the world to promote their newest releases.
Redeemer of Souls
is being hyped as an homage to the band’s original sound. Following a brief “experimental” period in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the band has listened to fans’ requests for an album in the same musical vein as their exemplary releases of the 1980s.
Guitarist Glenn Tipton has stated: “From start to finish, Redeemer of Souls is 18 songs of pure classic Priest metal.” Hear for yourself on July 8th!
