Judas Priest Release New Song

Posted in Music, New Music, News, Single Review with tags Dublin, Judas Priest, K. K. Downing, Megadeth, Nostradamus, Redeemer of Souls, Rob halford, Testament on April 28, 2014 by Tickets There

JUDAS PRIEST ARE BACK!

‘Redeemer of Souls’ is the first new Priest track since 2008’s Nostradamus! Can you believe it’s been that long? Since then they’ve announced their retirement, parted company with legendary guitarist, K. K. Downing, hired Richie Faulkner to replace him and rebuked the retirement announcement. Us Ireland folks were lucky to catch them back in 2009 when they played an epic show here with Megadeth and Testament providing support. Now, we finally have the Priest back on form.

Redeemer of Souls is the title track from their forthcoming seventeenth studio album. It’s a pretty classic slice of good old fashioned studs ‘n’ leather metal. Halford sounds great, the guys sound great – ALL HAIL PRIEST! Call that a review? Yes I do. Never mind my opinion, give it a listen as see what you think.

Sunday Night Metal!!!

Posted in Music, News with tags Crowbar, Def Leppard, Heavy Metal, Judas Priest, Kreator, Megadeth, Testament on October 18, 2009 by Tickets There

Damn it, HOLY DIVER folks!, Just cant avoid the unholy onslaught of late night metal. Gnash teeth, smash furniture of listen to Ronnie James Dio!! That’s your monster right there. Meant to be a little bastard but you’d still share a beer with the man. SABBATH!!!! Sabbath knows no Diver, Ozzy speaks no rath but Dio, bastard fucking created it.

Anyways, can’t put the Diver on, had it the other day. Lets find something else to wake up that Sunday night dread!!

Ok, got one. It;s not metal, but trust me. This is the good stuff/
