Right so here's my Redeemer of Souls review.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this album. Standout tracks for me are Sword of Damocles, Cold Blooded and Crossfire. As I've said before, Crossfire as a definite Rocka Rolla vibe, and Cold Blooded reeked of 80s era Priest. Halls of Valhalla is rip snorter of a metal tune too.
Least favourite tracks - ROS, March of the Damned. Not terrible songs, but just missing something in my opinion.
Overall, I give this album a 7.5/10 at first full listen through, that may change lol. A bloody good effort for a bunch of old metal legends!

I'm sure they will put a bunch of Canadian dates on the second leg since they are hardly playing Canada on the first leg. Of course, it all depends on the promoters and how well the first leg of the tour goes. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and all my Canadian friends!

Maaaaan, what luck!!
Still, though. If JP ends up not making it to NZ again (Cheez-its forbid), at least you will have seen 'em in Australia.

Well, after booking our trip to Brisbane, Australia to see Judas Priest play at the Soundwave festival, it got announced this morning that they are playing here in NZ for the first time at the Westfest festival about 3 days after we see them in Brisbane! Our budget doesn't quite stretch to include that show as well (it's a 7 hour drive to Auckland from where we are, or a not particularly cheap flight) but it's so awesome they're making it to our shores. |

acolytee55, I think that they WILL add Canada dates...this album is too good not to.
I think if the longer they hold out the more tickets they sell...fans worry( for good reason) that they will not be playing thier home town... flying in fans from all over to shows ....its all $ ect... but thats understanding ....
Richie said talking to Glenn "what you gonna do now just sit at home and read a magazine?"
They said fuck it...we are touring! But although its still not a world tour...I think Canada is too important to skip...they know thier long time fans harken throughout this vast Country so hang tight and they should announce a date...
But makes you wonder if the dates they may set would be farther to travel than Seattle....we will see

@ JD @HEADBANGER That is an awesome story lol , we will see if they announce a canadian date, what has my attention right now is we are on the eve of the vote of Scottish Independence, as an emigree from Scotland , it is easy for me to say vote yes for seperating as i do not live there , but my feelings are this ...... dont be the only country to ever vote no for freedom and the right to control your own destinies and self governance, yes its scary but the rewards are worth it, SAOR ALBA !!!!
