You know something? That is very kind of you, scorp! Much appreciated, man. Still, I feel so very blessed that an amatuer such as myself can honestly say that my music is heard in six or seven different countries!!!!! We have been on radio in South America, the UK AND Australia! We have friends and fans all over this world. I do not take that kind of recognition lightly! It is a true gift, given to us by the fine membership of this Board. That is just SO precious!
The second wave went out this morning! New countries, more fans. The train keeps a rollin'..........HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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. |

Ron/Vail and all.....Thanks for the words. Recording this was a challenge for me in time. I wish I could have devoted more of that to this and produced an even better product. I say that because I am my own worst critic and I will forever hear this and that I wish I could change. Every musician is that way in some respect. But again thank you and it was a pleasure working with everyone.
We, Rick, Doug and myself, are in the process of slowly working our own material. As soon as we have completion on some, I will post one......

Okay. I just received Forged Steel in the mail today and I gave it a spin right after I got out of work. Here's my rating: 10/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT AN AWESOME COVER ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!
Deep Freeze, Metal Meltdown, Metallark, Jim, Doug, Johnn...you all have done such a great job in playing the songs of the Metal Gods and coming up with a style of your own. That's pretty difficult to do, IMO, especially when it comes to covering a band as diverse in metal music as Judas Priest.
I just wanna say a big Thank You to all of you for taking the time and effort to make this masterpiece and to give us the opportunity to listen to it in CD form. I'm loving it more and more with every listen!! My current favorites are Hot Rockin' (LOVE IT!! DF at his best!!), The Rage, Metal Gods, Never Satisfied (awesome job on this one, Mettallark and Metal Meltdown!), and Hell Patrol.  Shoot, I bet even the Metal Gods would be pleased if they get a chance to listen to your latest work!!! I can only imagine how great Raw Steel must sound like!!
Also... a big thanks to Guido for doing such a great job with the album cover! It looks alot better than I expected.  I can't stop looking at it!!!
Great job, Faithful Defenders!!! You all stand out very well in this album!!! I tip my invisible hat to all of you.  |

Oh come now, my friend! Don't say that! You have done nothing for which you need to apologize!!!!!! In fact , it is a GOOD thing as it shows that we were able to keep true to the original music and make it work regardless of which one of us was singing! In fact, I have NO doubt Metallark could have done the songs I did and I his with very little difficulty! That is the beauty of what we did!!!!!
The most important part is the music. That is what matters! I am VERY grateful for the FIRST review from a regular member!!!! I was holding my breath for that first one and now it has come!! I am looking forward to the next!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Ron! |

Excuse my excitement!!! You're absolutely correct...but what I said bout the song is true, it just stuck out to me.
Rick, please excuse my ignorance...yes I read it, but like a kid on Christmas I listened to the disc and commented without going back to the sleeve to check the credits. Please accept my appologies as I totally fouled that up.
You guys will see that when you hear the disc in it's entirety, just like KK and Glenn, things meld seemlessly together with Forged Steel. I honestly don't pick up any noticeable differences...they both sound great and you can hardly tell them apart.
Anyway, I feel like a shmuck now, but that's my problem. I am going to leave now and listen to the music before I screw something else up...

Phil...you played your ass off on every song, man. I had no idea how well you played. I've heard a lot of Priest covers in my time, and you by far outplayed every one of them. What you did on The Rage was unfuc&inbelievable!!!
Jim and Doug...Too bad you both can't be on at the same time, You guys didn't miss a beat. From Never Satisfied to Demonizer, you were balls on!!!
Mike...can you hit some notes or what!!! You sang your ass of as well. I couldn't help but sense you had a lot of fun singing Delivering The Goods (especially)!! I'm sure they were all fun to do, but that particular recording had a groove to it that you seemed to pick up on and it just flowed naturaly through you.
Johnn and Rick...You're vocals compliment Mike and the music perfectly!! Johnns' bass work was dead on as well!!
I could add a lot more to this, and will as others get the chance to post their comment's, but I don't want to be a spoiler here!!!
I need to say this about one of the unsung heroes here...Guido!!! What a fantastic design to to the cover and back sleeve!!! It's such a classic look with a modern feel to it...outstanding job, man!!! I want to say more about this as well, but not yet!!! Dude...you nailed it!!!!
Well...this is all I have to say about it for now...I can't wait to hear what some of you other's have to say about it!!!!
Also...I got two copies so I can give one to my daughter and I noticed a very noticeable difference between the two. I'm not gonna reveal the difference yet as I want to see if other's who recieved two or more copies have anything different on their's as well (it has nothing to do with the CD itself or the recording's on it). Someone who only recieved one could tell, as it is obvious, but I'm hoping that my copy is the only one like it...........
Awesome job guys and I can't believe anyone else could say anything different...THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!
