2014 release, the 17th studio album from the veteran British Metal band. There are few bands that have accomplished what Judas Priest has throughout their 40 year career. Credited as one of the pioneers of Heavy Metal, they are responsible for anthems including hits such as 'Living After Midnight,' 'Breaking the Law,' and 'You've Got Another Thing Coming' and classic albums such as PAINKILLER and SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE. In 2010, the band received a Grammy for Best Metal Performance.
The legendary British heavy metal icons follow up 2008's Nostradamus with this, their eagerly anticipated 17th studio album and their first without founding member guitarist K.K. Downing, who left the band in 2011 to be replaced by Richie Faulkner. After the conceptual experimentation of Nostradamus, Redeemer of Souls sees Judas Priest going back to what they do best, keeping it hard and heavy for their committed fans with a classic slab of their bare-bones, old-school-style, high-energy heavy metal. ~ John D.
