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....

[Deep Freeze] Friday, October 17, 2008 7:59:23 AM 
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.....

I was working on it this morning but it appears that I am going to need to lock myself in the bedroom. One of our cats comes running when I start singing and climbs up on my lap!!! HAHAHHAHAHAA!! A friggin critic!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am dead serious. She left the room over and over but everytime I start singing, she runs in again and gets on my lap! Jeez!! Fans!!

Guido, I can tell you are really putting some thought into your suggestions. That is cool. MUCH appreciated! And Kitty!! It is so very good to see you again! I think the Project is finally affecting the Board as it did so long ago. So very long ago.
[kitty12] Sunday, October 12, 2008 9:19:18 PM 
I am excited to hear there is a new project on the horizon. I do not have any suggestions, but I am going to need a copy of the new material.

[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)...
