I cannot wait for this. Please don't suck.
Big thanks for that, amazing song! I can't wait for the new album. I believe they have reached their peak of creativity and they simply can't do anything wrong, right now. And they are on the verge of becoming a "big" band. Yet, i would love for some more fast songs like the ones in Leviathan and Blood Mountain.Any Mastodon fans? New track 'High Road' is up for streaming. Sounds fecking killer. Great riff, awesome chorus, loving the Crack The Skye style vocals too.

"Falling from grace cause i've been away too long, leaving you behind with my lonesome song, now i'm lost in oblivion..."
Yeah, definitely. The only time i did not regret buying the special edition of an album, when it only had a bonus DVD with interviews and studio reports, was "The Hunter". I still can't stop laughing whenever i watch this. Probably the best track by track review ever...Brann is great isn't he? Amazing drummer, lyricist, singer, and funny as hell.
So many awesome references. England got Steve Harris.
Brand new Judas Priest, time to get excited people.
Also, cover art and track list from the upcoming Mastodon album. It will be called "Once More 'Round The Sun" and it will be released on June 24.
Definitely, they are one of the best when it comes to 80's British heavy metal. I would recommend any album from "Sad Wings of Destiny" (1976) till "Defenders of the Faith" (1984) and of course "Painkiller". Tipton-Downing were one of the best guitar duos in heavy metal and Halford is among the very best voices in the genre. Since you liked that song, i would also recommend Halford's first two solo albums "Resurrection" and "Crucible".Never really listened to much priest but listening to that I just may have to listen to more.
Cheers I'll give those suggestions a listen to for sure.Definitely, they are one of the best when it comes to 80's British heavy metal.

The beers are in, so time to warm up this thread.
A song featuring one of my favourite vocalists, Jessie Leach, on one of my favourite albums. It was all downhill from here but Alive or Just Breathing is flawless.
Been listening to so much Rainbow recently, Rising is such an underrated album. The song Stargazer alone is basically the best metal song ever written and it was released before anybody even knew what it was.
Has any metal vocalist even come close to Dio in his prime since either?
He easily had the best voice in heavy metal, it's not even a contest. That performance on Stargazer is ridiculous, but he's spectacular on almost anything he's ever done. Brilliant live singer as well, even when I last saw him less than a year before his death. That was what shocked me the most about his death, he still sounded so incredibly powerful and energetic and less than a year later he was just gone. Awful disease.Been listening to so much Rainbow recently, Rising is such an underrated album.

He was headlining bloodstock the year I went with heaven and hell. Passed away a couple of months before, was absolutely devastated.
