I just stoped here to say that the new album Redeemer of Souls is great.

I like this things:

It has so many songs, great that you decides to record and release so amny songs. Some of the extra songs is in fact better than some of the regulars in my ears. I hoped that you would release a new double album and you basicly did that. Keep on doing that, please!

I especially like that you have gone back to your roots with some of the songs, like for instance "Beginning Of The End" that sounds a bit 70-ties, you know Black sabbathish - and Sabbath is one of my absolut favourit bands. Please, more songs like that, I just love it.

We have several new classics on this album and you can forget all those who think this is a weak album - it is one of your best, without questions!!!

Just keep on going, Priest, and keep on feeding us more albums like this!

We all are waiting for a new album to come out.
We all are hoping it will go fast.

But, folks, I dont believe we will see a new epic from the Leather Priests for some time yet.
Why?

People, we all need to see the truth when it appears to us, dancing naked in bare honesty :
Priest are now older and tired, their beaten and crumbled bones, shivers in frustration and screaming for relief.  Those limbs of frustration have

flown many a mile during many golden moons for faith and country.

They have done their Heavy Duties of Metal for decades, with amazing heart and willpower and met the metal-hungry world at full frontal rock n

roll-confrontation.

Tiredness sets in, we all know this in our sad hearts and hazy minds!

Questions has risen about the future of Priest.
Have Priest burn their best powder, are they throwing in their swetty and torn-fringy towels.

Do they kindly and willingly let all the hungry young challengers for the Metal Throne around the globe take over and settle for a life in the

boring shade again. 

Will Judas Priest ones again be down their amongst the other bands in the dirt of the old and poor country.

Even if cd Nostradamus was great, they could do even better.

I think Priest will do at least 2 more albums, and both must be doubles, perhaps called:

1) "Black Country" - a dark album that insults the worlds metal-hating nerds a last and final time with metal on the limit of crying blood and eating

dirt kind of metal-experience. An album that bends itself in and out of dark, fast and heavy supermetal. (In simplier words: songs similar to

Hellrider and Night Crawler - but with a dark and trembling twist of songs in the likes of Victim of Changes or The Ripper)

2) "Major Metals´ Lions Hearts Pub Band" - an fantastic album that will go further down the glory alleys of creativity and artistry than any band has

done before (including ALL bands, get that). An amazing and also fantastic insight in the future to come in Metal - when reaching the highest of

artistic steeples.


The question is:

Will Priest be able to do this - or will they bang out on this!

Think how hungry Priest will be soon and wants to go out on tour. Think of how badly they need to eat their hearts out on a metal-stage near

you.

They can´t do that well without a nice double album to back them up. The interrest will not be as great without many new songs under the belt.

		Here's what I wrote about Nostra in the Arena forum "The Shattered Room". Might be of interest to some of you guys: The only album in the world I'v given 100/100   I'v already written a lot about Nostra (as they call it in the Priest forum) in the Room. But let me sum up. It has everything that I love in rock music: 1)  It has a calm and balance in both music and lyrics that only very experienced musicians can render. (Priest go back to 1969.) 2)  It brings to life the deep Christian feelings that I experience. 3)  It tells the story of a human who went his own way in his seeking, first feeling alone, but after terrible ups and downs, with strong conviction pursued what he felt was his dharma or holy path. 4)  Despite being ostracised and persecuted, Nostradamus showered his love and respect onto all human beings, rich and poor, by treating them medically, psychologically and existentially. 5)  Rob Halford is a unique singer, and very mature. He fills the shoes of Nostradamus with conviction, terrific and terrible. 6)  All of the wide-ranging musical and philosophical experiences of the guys are brought into this work, in perspective and balance. It's a cornucopia of music. There's no other work I know of that has such a range of moods, thoughts, and musical expression. Priest's Nostradamus is a monumental work !!! Nicky.
