Judas Priest
Demolition
Atlantic
Someone reviewed this already, right? Fine, I’ve got this to say anyway: it’s a great album. Excellent old-style Judas Priest rippingly brutal guitars; I reckon they’ve reinvented themselves back to what they are• Ripper Owens’ vocals are near perfect, which is what I expect and Priest fans demand from a genuine Rob Halford impersonator. A whopping thirteen full-on heavy metal songs. All are standouts. I believe “One on One” and “Machine Man” showcase Ripper’s vocal range. “Metal Messiah” sounds more than vaguely familiar.
