Judas Priest have scored the first US Top 10 of their career with their new album, “Redeemer Of Souls.”
The 17th release by the UK metal legends debuts at No. 6 on the US Billboard 200 with 33,000 copies sold.
The band previously peaked at No. 11 with 2008’s “Nostradamus.”
“Redeemer Of Souls” is available in a standard version and a deluxe edition with five bonus tracks.
The project marks guitarist Richie Faulkner's studio debut with the group; he replaced founding member K.K. Downing following his retirement in 2011.
Judas Priest will launch a North American tour October 1 in Rochester, New York; the 6-week run will wrap up November 22 in Tacoma, Washington.
