PROJECT II UPDATE

(LAS VEGAS, NV-NEW YORK) The surviving members of the rock group Faithful Defenders announced today that the group will meet in the studio to begin the long awaited recording of their second album on November 17th of this year. Rumors of the new album have been circulating around the official Judas Priest website that the band were ready to begin work on the follow-up album to the hugely successful debut recording, Raw Steel. 

When reached at his home in Las Vegas, vocalist Mike Deep Freeze Berentsen confirmed the report saying, " It's true. I am flying to New York next month to get working on the album. I can tell you we are very excited about this. It has been a long time coming".  More rumors regarding the material for this album were confirmed by guitarist and co-founder Phil MetalMeltdown Ewing when called at his New York office. "Yes, it is true. Mike is heading out to the highway and we are getting down to business in November,"  he quipped.

Fans across the US and in countries such as Canada and the UK have all been demanding a new release from the band. "This is freakin awesome," said one unidentified fan. The music world is abuzz with excitement and it is widely anticipated that the new effort will far surpass Raw Steel both in popularity and distribution. It was also said that there will be more original material on this album.  Raw Steel was distributed in the US, Canada, Japan, the UK and South America. It was also broadcast on Argentinian radio in 2006.

I have a big day planned for the Project II today! I plan to write that new song which, as directed by MM, will be an ode to the great Judas Priest. I will also work hard on Forever Young, trying to get my "chops" down in preparation for my trip to NY. I thought about the Project last night and something occurred to me. Many of you were not around when the original Project was done. I have had many questions about this thread and what this all means. Therefore, I shall post the following information for those of you that still are not clear:

In March of 2006, the Princess and I flew to New York and met Metal Meltdown. We invited anyone here on the Board that wanted to be a part of it to join us.  Maiden/Priest6666  came up from PA and we were joined by two other very talented musicians, Jim Gleason and Mick Fallacaro. Together, we all produced the Project CD entitled "Raw Steel". It contains ten Judas Priest songs spanning their early years right up to AoR.

After the tremendous success of this album, there was the inevitable chatter about doing another one. Unfortunately, real life has kept MM and I from doing such a CD. Most of you are aware of the accident I suffered not long after we released the album and the ensuing surgery which has kept me unable to do much and MM's personal problems.  Suffice it to say that life and its difficulties conspired against us and the new Project was shelved.

Today is a new day, my friends. While I am still in considerable pain, those of us involved with this Project have decided it means too much to the membership to allow anything to stand in the way!  With much coaxing from the Princess, I have decided to brave the long flight and go to NY to record the new album. It is our desire to add some original music to this effort. We also plan to record enough material to be able to offer a THIRD album sometime down the line without the need for me to return.

Once again, we ask for your help. What songs would you like to hear? Those members that were present for the first CD will recall the participation we enjoyed and the great fun we had getting suggestions from all of you. Additionally, the offer to join us remains. Any of you that can play an instrument or sing are very welcome to be a part of this CD. It is, afterall, for all of us. We will be recording in December of this year in Buffalo, NY.

Please, please take a moment to ponder what I have written. Please join us in some way. Please be a part of our Tribute to this great Band.

The priest sounding one....I was thinking about making it a Priest themed song.   Il prete, the full version, didnt work out when I messed with it a few months back so I tossed it.  So I think it would be appropriate to have a Priest dedicated original......

The idea I have for the verse melody would be like the melody line in Steeler..... "Waiting like Jackels to sneak up and trick you"  Something along that melody line which is not much of a melody line but this is a straight forward metal tune.  Lotsa growling....

Awesome, MM!!! Don't forget to add the melody lines!! I have had a surge in inspiration of late and I really want to get writing. Also, IF you have an idea for a THEME of a particular song, tell me so I know to write it accordingly. Otherwise, I will just take it and run!
[METAL MELTDOWN] Friday, October 17, 2008 7:45:59 AM 
Thanks.  I worked on it a bit yesterday and redid the solos. Sounds better and in tune!!  I also completely redid the power metal tune.  I will repost it today sometime.....

[guidogodoy] Sunday, October 12, 2008 1:35:38 PM 
Outstanding! Can't wait.

Perhaps one that wouldn't come readily to mind: "Heart of a Lion." Priest tune that I can't believe they never released.

Again...more to come. I have heard "Raw Steel" countless times now and think I have a pretty good understanding of everyone's talents. When I mentioned Nostra, I see Prophecy and Revalations, perhaps even Persecution. Nice "tip of the hat" to the band as well. With no keyboard, others would be a bit more diffucult.

With this in mind, as I listen to Priest, I now listen with "project 2" in mind....

Well, I have never  done 'Island, but we can certainly consider it. As for parameters, you all need to remember I am NOT Rob and I have a limited range. If you listen to our version of Tyrant, you will find that is about as high as I can sing with going terribly wrong...HA!!!!!!!!!!! Most of the songs we have done or are planning to do are all in the lower register or at least "tuned down".

I am grateful for all your suggestions! Please keep them coming. We have not made any final decisions yet but we need to start firming up the list so MM can get started. You would not believe how long it takes to do this!
[WhiskeyWoman] Sunday, October 12, 2008 11:53:47 AM 

Hi Freeze,
You never did tell me if you have done, or plan to do, "Island of Domination" ...?

That's a fun one to do.  "There's a man with a needle who's pleading to get at my face..."

  ... what?  Too cool...

Plus, there's the throaty growls in there.  So, any plans?

[ron h] Sunday, October 12, 2008 11:50:49 AM 
Better By You, Better Than Me...how's that for starters DF??...I don't know what the parameters are either, so I didn't want to mention Bullet Train, although the song really does kick ass (imho)...

You're quite welcome and quite right!  I love Steeler. Actually, Steeler was a "bonus track". It was not on the original album at time of release but we re-released with it after MM did some work on it. Anyway, I think Tyrant is my favorite..or maybe Worth Fighting For. Hard to pick.....HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[ron h] Sunday, October 12, 2008 11:12:53 AM 
Thanks again DF...I'm really glad to see Steeler on the list...I always thought that song never-ever got it's just due, especially because it was released in an era where that style was unheard of!!!...Heavy Metal in it's P U R E S T  form!!!   
I'm gonna have to think a bit on this before I start posting songs.......

[Deep Freeze] Sunday, October 12, 2008 10:33:54 AM 
With pleasure, my friend. I will try to be brief.
In 2005, MM and I decided to record a Priest tribute album. I sing and he is an incredible guitarist. We invited anyone from this site that was interested to join us. We had the membership suggest songs here on this Thread. In spring 2006, the Princess and I flew to NY and met MM and a young man here called maiden/priest6666 (Eric). Along with two others, we recorded an album called Raw Steel. It was a great success. And it was an awesome experience!!!

We are currently planning a second album. I will be flying to NY in December. We are asking for song suggestions. Here is a link to some of our songs;

[guidogodoy] Sunday, October 12, 2008 1:20:00 AM 
Ok, I have been silent on the topic until now. Wanted to think a bit before posting what I wanted to hear. Sure, Victim would be great but you said it...register. Gotta keep limits in mind.

This said, I would advocate following Rob in the current setlist. Tune down a bit. You hit a lot of my suggestions with this post. Nostra songs. Great. Go low. I think that Nostra songs would be great! Do-able as well. "Some Heads are Gonna Roll" - not that bad. "Demonizer" only hits high at the end. "Night Comes Down" - easy(?) / powerful / beautiful tune. Yeah, I am in a "Defenders" mood.

More to come....

Howdy all! I had to pop in on this Thread and tell you I have been working with MM today on the song he mentions below. "Forever Young" is really powerful. I just sang a rough draft for the Princess and her reaction was, "Oh my! That is really deep"!! Gang, this is a very meaningful tune. Not just for MM, but for anyone with children. Especially those of us that have experienced the heartache of a failed relationship. I am so proud of MM for what he has done here. This song will grab you, I mean that. I am sure you will all agree when you hear it.

It is my sincere desire that this album be leaps and bounds above Raw Steel. This one will be very special.

I completely understand what you mean about time. I am fortunate in that time is all I really have!  It would be great to have you there but this is exactly why we did the first project..to give the membership a chance to do something together. 

Val, I do want Starbreaker on the list and I think Exciter would be great, if we do it like they did on Rising in the East.  There is simply NO way I can sing in the upper register like Rob does on Stained Class. I do not have that kind of range but I am sure I can do it in a lower key.

GREAT news!! I am somewhat disappointed in the lack of suggestions from the rest of the membership. Maybe this is just not as big of a deal as the first time we did it? Maybe too many of the "regular" members have moved on or are just apathetic to it all now That is very disheartening, my friends. This project, as with the one before, is meant to get the membershp involved. To be part of it. It is a way that we can come together, as a group, and share in the music of this most beloved Band. I want to be the first to remind you all that this is open to ANY member that wants to participate, and that includes being part of the band!! If you sing or play an instrument, PLEASE tell us! You are welcome to join us in New York.

Having said this, I will now publish my current song choices. These are all tunes I want to get recorded this time:
Killing Machine
Jawbreaker
Eat me Alive 
Judas Rising
Hammer and the Anvil
Touch of Evil
One Shot at Glory
Wheels of Fire
Hellrider
Ram it Down
Diamonds and Rust
Hot Rockin
I'm a Rocker
I am Nostradamus
