I'm starting to saturate this thread with the comments so I'll stop after this. I put on some decent headphones that have a fuller sound and deeper bass and it helps. That and a break between listens. It's not a bad song. I'm really not ripping it I just wish it was a little heavier, maybe emphasize the drums a little more or a little more crunch I don't know. Rob's vocals are good enough and I know the first track released won't be the best so come on July 15th.

@ JD. I don't think everyone will be bitching. Different fans like different styles and it isn't too bad of a song so it will get some praise. You know I'm a hard head but I don't think the others will be. I wish they would have called it "Taker of Souls". Redeemer makes it sound like they are waiting for one's soul I would rather them just take it. (lol)

I just gave it three listens in a row. Have to give myself a break and try again later. My initial reaction is that I really hope the rest of the cd has a little more punch to it. This reminds me of some of the bonus tracks on the remasters. A little boring and not heavy enough. If they wanted to feature Ritchie it doesn't really sound like they are. I wasn't super big on him during the tour because I thought he changed their sound and I wasn't used to it but I could tell he was talented and I think a worthy replacement so I was expecting a change and ready for it but I'm not hearing it on this track. It's only one though and that doesn't make a cd so we'll see. My opinions only matter to me and aren't meant to influence anyone.

Was getting ready to leave for work and decided to check again. Looks like I won't have to wait after all. I'm not going to say too much negative or positive until I listen a few times but my initial reaction was complete excitement hearing a new song. It started to lose me toward the middle and end but I can't judge on one listen so I won't say more until I'm sure how I feel about it. The title doesn't do much for me but that may grow on me. July 15th isn't too long of a wait so that part of it is cool.

According to Facebook we should get to hear a new track today. Like I don't want my work day to go fast enough already.

@JD , metallizer, the latest in a long line of characters ,nightcrawler jugulator,painkiller  helion, sentinel, metallian..........wait a second lol

@Guido Holy crap !!!!! almost 7 years and it finally let me post a picture on here !!!!!! wow!!

@Guido ,look what i can do !!    https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=639282156141822&set=a.170714762998566.39819.151895438213832&type=1&theater

@Budred , i remember a post from some time ago on this site  that mentioned that they had a few songs written and Metallizer was the name of one of them , and someone said"METALLIZER" are they even trying anymore ? or something to that effect , anyone else remember it?

I guess I'm not the only one with the "Nostradamus" comparison. Quite a few comments on Facebook about it. Someone autocolored(?) the pic and it looks kind of cool. Some are calling it Pinhead ll. I have a question if anyone wants to guess, confirm or deny. Someone posted it was going to be called "Metalizer". Someone's wish???(I don't know). Anyone hear any rumors?

Well we have a picture. Scared me for a second. I thought we were getting "Nostradamus ll".

Yeah, change is good, usually. I just meant the surprise of it and not knowing what to do for a minute. I used to check in without signing in sometimes. Looks like that is gone. It guarantees I don't see some of the crap though so it's all good. It's probably stupid to go by this and I only do because of their ages but I can't help but think that if Black Sabbath can still put out such a quality cd then Priest should be able to also. I do have hope.

I'm OK with the colors but it is hard to read the text. My first thought after seeing this was WTF but It's probably just a case of hating change. Hopefully I'm wrong about having to wait 2 months to be told we only have to wait a little longer. Seeing the blue and smoke as a header gives the impression of a hidden album cover just below. Kind of increases the anticipation. I so hope this is a good CD.

I'm sure no one cares about my tax situation and I wasn't expecting to comment on it this much. Probably my explanation more than you not understanding. Up until 2 years ago I worked a regular job that took money each pay for taxes. At the end of the year I still had to pay each year. 2 years ago I became an independent business operator (sell product to stores). I get a check (or a bill) each week for product received and sold. I save 20% when i get a check and at the end of the year go to an accountant with all my expenses and figure out what I made and what I owe. Both year's I saved more than I needed.
