Judas Priest are revealing the story behind the making of their latest album, “Redeemer Of Souls”, in a newly-released video package.
In stores today, the project marks guitarist Richie Faulkner's studio debut with Priest; he replaced founding member K.K. Downing following his retirement in 2011.
“We just were ready to get the metal roaring again,” explains frontman Rob Halford, “and to make concise, strong songs of character that collectively would come together and be a very grand statement that the Priest is back in that world of classic metal that we wanted to reinforce again.”
“Redeemer Of Souls” is available in a standard version and a deluxe edition with five bonus tracks.
Judas Priest will launch a North American tour October 1 in Rochester, New York; the 6-week run will wrap up November 18 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
