Aussie heavy and pounding shreddy power. This song features the amazing vocals of Sean Peck. Damn is this guy is the new Halfordor what while Rob is pretty washed up I'm afraid. God he belts it out hard in the chorus here whilst stil maintaining the tune. I only wish he sang the whole album as the other guests are not all that and their own singer is not my cuppa either. The band is very talented though.

Are you seriously saying at this point that Peck is better than Halford? What are you smoking? Sure, Halford is pretty stationary looking at the prompter in concert, but his voice still pretty much holds up. This is even moreso the case in his studio output. Peck is okay, but I just don't think he's anything special. On this song I think his vocals actually are pretty inconsistent, sort of like he's trying too hard. There are only two guys if you really want to compare in terms of second coming of Halford vocally - Tim Ripper Owens and Ralf Sheepers.
 
Hate to tell you but Sean Peck today sounds eleven million times better than Halford of today.

Also, Peck still has spirit and does not spend 1.5 hours staring at the floor while performing.

Now if you compare Halford of -85 to Sean Peck of today..... Different scenario altogether.

This may be true, but Halford is still the original. Peck, Scheepers, whoever...as good as they are (and I'm a fan of both) they're imitators.

EDIT - I am excited to hear this one though. Zak Stevens and Steve Grimmett are also on board.

We'll have to agree to disagree. It honestly has nothing to do with the fact that he's the original for me. It's just to my ears nobody can touch Halford especially in the studio nowadays, which is the type of singing we're talking about. There's just nothing spectacular about Peck. Yeah, he can wail at times, but he's not ahead of the pack in terms of metal singers. Just my opinion.

I even stated in my previous post that yes, Halford does stare at the prompter. He isn't that mobile, so in terms of that, yeah Peck is better. No disagreement there. I honestly though have never heard a bad Halford live in person. On recordings I have but not live.

Bottom line, this is all about vocal ability on studio material and no one has ever been able to touch Halford in terms of that. He's the most diverse metal singer ever in the genre.

I am a total Halford fan boy, I mean, to ridiculous proportions, but I have to completely disagree with you here.
 
Lol@ the European album cover for Dungeons A Rise to Power. They were forced to use that artwork and were none to happy about it. Looks like a really really Z grade Conan comic cover.

Yep seriously saying it. One listen to The Mower proves it. It's just a load of excruciating screaming whilst Peck proves on this trackand many Cage tracks that he screams like a banshee but with melody in tact. Not saying Halford can't do it but I think he sounds so forced to make it unlistenable. I hope he proves me wrong on his next album. By the way he was ok in Nostradamus and when i saw priest live. I just think Peck wipes the floor with him at the moment although I've never see Cage live obviously.

He's actually not that far off. Halford has(had) a VERY wide range, I think Dreamer Deceiver proves that. I might not necessarily go THIS far, but I can't readily name someone else off of the top of my head with his kind of diversity.

I don't know, diverse was never a word that came to my mind when talking about Halford. But then again, I don't know his entire discography nor do I follow his career. Perhaps I just need to be shown some examples of such diversity. I'd be happy to be shown that Simon is right in his comment.

Listen to Dreamer Deceiver on Sad Wings of Destiny from 1976. Amazing song and range.

Halford? You gotta be kidding me.

Nope. Not at all. The guy can sing low, mid, high and can shriek. There honestly aren't many singers that have that sort of variety. Maybe he can't hit it all as consistently has he used to live, but in the history of metal I can't think of anyone with that variety.

Ripper has a high end, but everything he does is same old same old. His lower range sucks, but what hes good at he is phenominal!
Sheepers is the same...his lower & mid ranges are awesome, but his highest is fucking annoying sometimes.
Comparing Peck to either of these singers is a joke. He doesn't have the longevity, he hasn't put out a truly great disc yet, and he acts like a total ass clown onstage
