Certain bands are blind buys for me....JP, IM, Accept, BG, Helloween, etc...

I've been following them since the 80's, why stop now?
 
Listen to the album as we speak. The previous tracks set the tone for the whole album. Likening flame thrower, traitors gate, necromancer and firepower. Will please the masses.
 
After a few listens, I really don't think this album is musically much different from Redeemer, but it does SOUND a lot better. Rob sounds great, especially on my personal fave on this CD, Lone Wolf. I mentioned to a friend, though, that when it comes to speedy/heavy Priest, I'll just listen to Primal Fear.....they just have the aggressive Priest vibe down to a science.
