My favorite two bands are set to release new albums this year. I'm pretty anxious for both. I just hope Priest actually releases their's. Being their 40th makes me think it will definitely come out this time. Rob says it will rock but every band says that so we'll see. I hope they made something that shows they tried to put out a metal album that seems a little current, something like they did back in the day when their next album was always different from the one before but still had a Priest sound to it. They were always moving forward. They did this (with mixed reviews) until Demolition. (Sorry I'm not counting Nostradamus) I don't want to hear Painkiller or British Steel or any other album I want to hear a "new" Priest album. I hope it's not just a "formula" concept like I thought A.O.R. was. My other favorite is releasing their cd May 13th. It's called "The Righteous and the Butterfly". Don't laugh it had me wondering also. "Righteous" is for JJ Righteous an original member and guitar player who died and the "Butterfly" is for Skinny's (Drummer/founder) wife who died also. I just got my tickets today for their release party in Cleveland. I just saw them Saturday and already got tickets for MRH show number 22. I have alot to look forward to.
