Who would have thought Judas Priest would hit me harder in 2006 than ever before? I’m wearing out both Angel of Retribution and the DVD Rising in the East. What an incredible set and performance! Apart from Rob Halford briefly donning a ridiculous floor-length coat that makes him look alarmingly like Box from Logan’s Run, the show is pretty good visually too.
These guys have a few more pounds and a few more wrinkles (who doesn’t?), but they’ve not diminished musically so much as 5%. If old-school British metal makes you warm, pick one or both of the aforementioned releases up. You will be pleased. Remember to turn it down once in a while.
