Judas Priest's Official Website on Sony Music.
The definitive lineup of Judas Priest - vocalist Rob Halford, lead guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing, bass guitarist Ian Hill and drummer Scott Travis - returns in 2005 with the astonishing new album ANGEL OF RETRIBUTION on Epic Records. It was worth the wait. More than 30 years after forming in the tough, gritty, English steel town of Birmingham, Judas Priest remains at the forefront of the global heavy metal scene.
The album, which was co-produced by Roy Z and Judas Priest, will be released February 28, 2005, in Europe and March 1, 2005, in North America. This album is the first new music from the quintet in 15 years, and it exceeds all expectations. ANGEL OF RETRIBUTION stands proudly alongside Judas Priest's previous heavy metal milestones like Sad Wings Of Destiny, British Steel, Screaming For Vengeance and Painkiller. Ten new Priest classics make up the album: "Judas Rising," "Deal With The Devil," "Revolution," "Worth Fighting For," "Hellrider" and lead single "Revolution."
"We've got a lot of energy," says Tipton. "We're firing on all cylinders and it's obvious on this album. I think it's the most natural Judas Priest album. A lot of people who have listened to it have said it's timeless. You couldn't really date it." ...

Purple prose
Deep Purple has surrendered to the ‘Rapture’; now it’s your turn
By Jeff Miers
The first time I heard Deep Purple – or perhaps felt Deep Purple is a better way to describe the experience – it was the mid-70s. I was 8, and Ritchie Blackmore’s sinewy, sinister riffing on the “Made In Japan” version of “Child In Time,” coupled with Ian Gillan’s dramatic, gorgeous howling, Jon Lord’s ominous neo-classical Hammond organ, and the dynamic interplay of the Roger Glover-Ian Paice rhythm section, tore the top of my head off.
It was unlike anything else I’d ever heard. And it quite literally changed my life.
30 years later, I’m still hearing Deep Purple for the first time.
“Rapture of the Deep” is the spot-on moniker for the disc you hold in your hands, and I’ll stand on any classic rock radio programmer’s desk in my cowboy boots and scream it loud, proud and Gillan-esque; “This is the best Deep Purple album there is, dammit! Forget ‘Machine Head’ – that was then; this is most decidedly now!”
This is the fourth record created by the revamped and rejuvenated Purple following the umpteenth departure of the mercurial Mr. Blackmore. The guitarist – one of the most significant in British rock history - had ceased to be a contributing force and was in fact draining Purple of its collective spirit when his ship finally set sail for good, a bit over a decade back ...
