(Still) living after midnight!

None more metal!

A few months ago, Judas Priest released their 18th album of bludgeoning new songs, Firepower. Although they've been hammering out slabs of pure metal since 1974 (!!!), their chops and talent haven't aged a bit. Firepower is not only a great Judas Priest album, it's a great metal album. It combines the hard-hitting power of classic Judas Priest with modern production, plus Rob Halford's Metal God voice still reaching those low growls and high howls. Considering the beating this guy has given his voice for years on end, how does it still sound so freaking fantastic??

The most Halloween-worthy song on Firepower doesn't yet have an official video, but I highly recommend checking out the videos for "Lightning Strike," "Spectre," and "No Surrender" to get the full aural and visual assault of Judas Priest. But first infect your ears with the unholy metal majesty of the Necromancer!
