Album Description
Angel of Retribution is the new album from the recently reunited classic line-up of vocalist Rob Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing, bassist Ian Hill and drummer Scott Travis. The new album was co-produced by Roy Z and Judas Priest, and represents the first time that this incarnation of the quintet has entered the studio and engaged in a recording session since 1990's Painkiller.

CD Description
One of the original heavy metal bands release the first album to feature their most famous vocalist, Rob Halford, since1990's 'Painkiller', following their split with Tim "Ripper" Owens. With Halford's trademark earsplitting shriek once more to the fore, the band turn in a solid batch of songs featuring their patented chugging riffs and twin lead guitar attack.

Customer Reviews

The Metal Gods are back!
Angel of Retribution is the return to form that we've all been waiting for. With Rob Halford back at the helm they've created a classic slice of Metal that is totally irresistable. It sounds immense and just gets better every time you hear it. The sound is classic Priest - twin guitars, duelling solos and Halford's trademark growl and scream - and the opener, Judas Rising is a vicious snarling power metal masterpiece. Even the bizarre Loch Ness sounds great after a the initial weirdness wears off.

Even better though is the bonus DVD showing the re-united Priest in Spain. The band are on fire, blazing through 7 of their classics and Halford's vocals on Diamonds and Rust and Touch of Evil have to be heard to be believed.
Trust me on this - if you're a heavy metal fan, you need this DVD.

Judas is Rrrrrrising!
I can't wait to see them live opening with this song! Can anybody give me an example of a 30-year old band coming back and delivering one of its best albums! The younger metal bands SHOULD LISTEN to this album- Judas Priest sound younger than the majority of the new bands which concentrate on technical virtuosity (if any) and not giving a damn soul about the music! This is especially true for the most American and Canadian bands from the last 10-15 years which sound so cold, trivial and void of emotion. There is so much power and passion in each Priest song!
"Judas Rising" is one of the best songs Priset have ever made.
" Deal with the devil" is a classical heavy rocker reminding of Halford's "Resurrection" album.
"Revolution"-one of my favorites-monumental, it carries the glory of "Heavy Duty"/Defenders of the Faith", but it's even better.
"Worth Fighting For"-ironically, not a perfect song, reminds me of my least favorite Priest albums ("Point of Entry"/"Turbo"), but I respect their decision to put it on the album, because it contains elements of everything they have done the last 30 years.
" Demonizer", Wheels of Fire", "Hellrider"-could have been taken from "Painkiller", with surprising operatic chants from Rob Halford on the third song. Magnificent, totally stunning Priest
"Angel"-one of Priest's finest ballads. Beautiful vocals from Rob (not like Demolition's "Lost And Found", which was dreadful)
Eulogy/Lochness- a majestic, epic closure of the album with heavy guitars and supreme vocals from Rob. Reminder of the prog-metal first Priest albums from the seventees.
Overall, one of the best metal albums you have heard in years and one of Priest's best! Ten stars!
