My thanks to Becks for the kind review!! I think it is just GREAT that we are being represented clear around the world!!!!! What an awesome feeling! I think that you all should know that CDs have literally been sent to the "four corners" of the earth!!!
New Zealand
South Africa
Switzerland
Belgium
United Kingdom
South America
North America (The US and Canada!)
The list seems to grow bigger everyday!! How many musicians (of our lowly status) can say THAT??!??!?!? HA!!!!! I think it is just wonderful! Such a fitting tribute to the mighty Judas Priest and what they mean to all of us! I want to sincerely thank the members of this Board for welcoming the CD and playing it in your respective countries!! I sometimes imagine someone in a far away land hearing one of our songs and smiling. I cannot even begin to describe how that makes me feel!!!! |

Thanks for the generous reviews. It was a joy to us all to complete this project and deliver the goods.
I am especially thankful to MM and DF for giving me the opportunity to contribute and express my great love for Judas Priest music.

Review time! Just finished listening to my copy!
This CD is awesome! I especially love Metal Gods, Jawbreaker, Between the Hammer and the Anvil.............ah all of the songs are great! A very fitting tribute to our favourite Metal Gods! The vocals are great to listen to - it's interesting to hear a new vocal spin on Priest classics, and it really does work. The guitars and drumming are fantastic too, some truely great musicians are out there. I looked forward to hearing how the big drumming end to Delivering the Goods would be handled, and it was very good! Overall, I think that Forged Steel is a great tribute to Judas Priest, A+!
Thanks to Deep Freeze, Metallark, Metal Meltdown, and EVERYONE else who was involved!  |

| LOVE THE CD. LIKE I SAID BEFORE I LOVE THAT YOU PUT YOUR OWN SPIN ON THE SONGS. HELL PATROL, BETWEEN THE HAMMER AND THE ANVIL AND DEMONIZER ARE MY FAVORITES, BUT ALL ARE GREAT. |

Thank you so much for the nice reviews! SO glad to hear that so many are enjoying our music once again... ALL over the world!!!! It kind of takes me back to a different time...many years ago. I am so proud of this album and MM, Metallark and the others. This one had a higher price. We paid it. It's done.
I truly hope that, as you all start listening and commenting you all take a moment to remember what this album is really all about. It is about THIS Board. It is about ALL of us. OUR membership. The friendships we have forged and nuture each and everyday .. The ups and the downs. This album is for all of us, by all of us. We never would have done it without you. Please remember that YOU are as much a part of this album as me and the guys. My sincere thanks to all. |

Thank you for all of that,GD! MUCH appreciated! It is always a great feeling to have a fellow musician take the time to really get to the "nuts and bolts" of our efforts. I am especially proud of the fact that we have NEVER tried to be "Priest Clones". I am NO Halford!! I KNOW that! We stay true to the song but you always know it is us. I agree with you about MOST of these Priest cover bands. The music always seems to suffer!!!... either for a "look" or a guy that can scream! It seems like they find some dude that can hit a high note, buy some leathers and try to build a band around him. The music gets totally lost in that!

Judas Rising.. very good, true guitar tones with extra bite
Hot Rockin.. one of my personal favorites, had me from the start of the song, jammed my ass off, obviously, I liked it.
Hell Patrol.. Sharp guitar tones and accurate without being a clone, again, I liked it.
Eat me Alive.. Another personal fav, and again, great guitar tones
Jawbreaker.. The solo with the delays was just so damn good, excellent job MM
Between the Hammer and the Anvil.. Sharp and precise, good emotional delivery with the vocals
Wheels of Fire.. now here we go, the distinct tone between the guitar tracks kicked ass, and the driving bass guitar was just over the top, if only Ian could be pushed up in the mix like that!!!!
This is such a fitting tribute without being an exact duplicate, so many times a band butchers the songs they are trying to pay tribute to, not here, just kick ass songs done by a group of fans. Well Done guys!!
I`ll get back with you in a few days after i`ve listened to the rest of the tracks. |

Hi guys! Is there any way that I can still get a copy? I wasn't around during the ordering phase.....
DF, maybe you can bring a copy to Detroit with you for me? I'd LOVE to hear it!! Congrats by the way, it sounds like it is being well received! |
