| Icecreamman ....Thats what I visioned 100%. You and I were taken back to hints of the Painkiller album's style when hearing this new track...consider ourselves LUCKY! This track totally blows away Revolution by far! |

@Budred,
Ha,yeah its all good dude.Didnt mean anything by it,just that I figured you wouldnt like this track....when ever Evans and hellrider posts,they will not like it either,just from your posts over the last few years is why I predicted that statement. If you only like 3 tracks from Painkiller,then actually AOR and this new lp didnt have much of a shot with you in the first place,which is "ok" dude,no need to get butt hurt about it. I also predict HRMG will not be thrilled with this either based on her demands for her ideas of what to expect to hear,same with spa...its all good man,we all cant like the same things.
Members I did predict to like this song was Guido,Head Banger,Becks...so I wasnt off by much lol. Hey,I was on the other side of the fence when Nostradamus was out....lucky for me I really like Redeemer Of Souls....I just cant wait to hear the rest....18 songs....I hope 4 are instrumentals.....

@JD
I couldn't help but smile at that. ...knew Budred wouldn't like it. My mind wasn't made up before I heard it.

Just listened to Redeemer of Souls. Hmmm...I dunno. It's heavy, alright. Not a big fan of the vocals, though. Doesn't draw me into the story of the Redeemer. At least not yet. Maybe after a few more listens?
My big worry, though, is the rumored amount of tracks in this new album. 17-18 songs?!? How many will be throw-away songs? Motorhead's latest album, Aftershock, has 14 songs in it. I can think of at least 5 that they could've eliminated from the final product. BUT! Who knows. We'll have to wait another three months for the Redeemer to arrive.

| Love the new track! My first listen was this morning driving home from work on my phone! I think the production value is great as always. The song is really strong. I can definately hear the Hell Patrol connection in it. It sounds to me like Glenn and Richie trade some licks in the lead. One very cool thing is I can hear Richie's influence in this. I'm just guessing of course but it sounds like Glenn wrote this one and Ritchie got to put some real input into it...i think that is a great sign for the rest of the album. |

I really think it's a "builder track". Like Hell Patrol which sits between Painkiller and All Guns Blazing, I think this track is a transition track between two in your face heavy metal tracks. I really like the song as is..... but on the album itself I am sure it will sound freaking bad ass just like Hell Patrol.

I wonder if Wilkinson did the artwork again. Cdrtainly not one of my favs but, again, I have never had my original Painkiller poser framed. Always thought that it was a bit goofy. That and Priest...Live. I remember seeing that and thinking WTF?! Bunch of fingers and hands in the air? Couldn't think of anything better than that one? Both killer albums, though.
I also hear a lot of Hell Patrol in the new cut. I DO wish it built up to something (like the killer Hell Patrol does) but not a bad tune. Also glad to have so many (predicted) cuts on the new album. Kinda makes me wonder why they didn't think to split it into the "Twin Turbos" and release two separate albums.
Man, can't WAIT until July now!

Anybody that likes the song Hell Patrol has a much better chance at possibly liking the title track Redeemer Of Souls. Yes,this track could of easily been on the Painkiller album.
The response to this track is what I thought it would be,knew Budred wouldnt like it...Evans and Hellrider will trash it because it doesnt sound like the song Painkiller,ect.....thats all good.
I'm lucky today because I instantly like this track.Simplicity sometimes wins.
This track will fit in the album just fine without skipping it....17 more tracks to listen to! |

Blabbermouth's forum comments are split down the middle,half like it,half don't.... But the ones who do like it also say it reminds them of the same type of vibe/feel-sound that "Hell Patrol" has...if Hell Patrol would of been released right now instead of in 1990,we would be getting the EXACT same comments,so being a fan of the song Hell Patrol,this new track I am happy with!
This is nothing new: when Defenders was released peole were bithching about the single "Love Bites"....even when Painkiller was released,people in 1990 were bitching that it was "too havy".....you just can't win man. The thing I agree with,is that the art work isnt as good as it could be,but who cares at this point anyways...
This lp really wasn't supposed to happen anyways,Downing left and that was it....its Richie Faulkner .....he is the reason that we have a new album.....hail Richie!!! |

I was checking out the comments on Facebook. They seem fairly split as to whether people like it or not. I think on here HighwayTerror summed it up pretty good and that's why it's a little boring to me. A little guitar work in the middle but other than that it just goes on. The comment I made about it lacking punch seems to be a common gripe on facebook. One guy said pretty much the same thing I did here and he got 44 likes in a couple of hours so I don't think I'm alone on this one (other than in here). I listened to it twice more before I came here to post this so I wouldn't write something I regret. My personal opinion is that this isn't that great of a song and I really hope the rest of it is better. I understand the age thing and I'm not anti-Ritchie and I don't expect 70's/80's Priest but they can surely do better than this.

| I like the new song ok.
I've listened to it four times now and I can tell the track will grow teeth when played live
my only complaint is that the song doesn't have a very wide dynamic, meaning it just goes along at the same speed and tempo without any real time changes or breakdowns, no real climax to make it truly momentous
here's to Priest !
I hope they make it back to Ohio for some shows this fall, I haven't gotten to see Priest since AOR in 05
I must see them once again ( it will be #11 ) before they knock off for good |

I like it too! I see people around the place complaining saying oh it's boring but hey it's only the first track, they wouldn't release the most awesome tracks in a preview, and they are (besides Richie) getting on in years!

This sounds like Priest alright,this track reminds me of the same feelings and style that the track Hell Patrol has,fuckin cool!
We are very fortunate that we even have this new album to even listen to,if it were not for Richie Faulkner,this would of NEVER happened.Keep this in mind too.
Judas Priest in 2014 still flying the flag for HEAVY METAL shutting down negative comments from impatient fans like me who said they were dead after Nostrafamus....alls I have to say is WOW!
Redeemer Of Souls....yeah,I like it!

Hmm, on my headphones the production sounded quite beefy (which I like), and overall the song is quite good (though maybe it would work better if it was a bit shorter). Of course, we'll have to wait until the release to hear how it really sounds like. As Head Banger said the version here is probably quite heavily compressed to reduce the appeal to pirate it.

| I like it. my speakers are not great, and 4 people sleeping in the house, so not much volume. the version here is probably compressed a lot anyway. bud, I agree the drum sould could be more forward. still, if they folow in the vein of AOR and this isnt the best track then this should be a great album. fingers crossed. |

Budred,I know Painkiller isnt in your top 5 or even top 10 fav JP lps ...but I was just saying to my ears Redeemer Of Souls sounds like its in the vien of Hell Patrol,and sounds as heavy as Hell Patrol which is obviously on Priest's heaviest album under Rob.
And not saying because of it you should like the song because I know you never liked Hell Patrol either,I was just thinking how heavy do you want it to be? Any heavier it wouldnt much be Priest anymore..I like all tracks on Painkiller,but my 3 favorites are Between the Hammer & the Anvil,Metal Meltdown and Leather Rebel!

Sorry, one more. (it's a response)
@JD I'm not ready to say I don't like it yet I haven't heard it enough to be familiar with it and many many times over the years my initial reaction to music isn't always my final reaction. About Painkiller. This will sound like Blasphemy to the Priest camp but that's not one of my more favorite Priest cd's. It has three of my favorite Priest songs on it (Painkiller, All Guns Blazing and Nightcrawler) but if you remember awhile back when I posted about Priest cd's and skip tracks "Painkiller" had the most for me maybe(?) followed by Demolition which I praise. Go figure.
