The RoS tracks sound much better on the live album Battle Cry than on the studio album, in my opinion.

oh yeah. i did not buy the Live album but i did catch them live back in october of 2015 down in fresno, california. "Dragonnaut", "Halls of Valhalla" & the title track had much better sound settings than the studio versions. great show by the way.

The dvd release is amazing. A must have

Starting their tour 3 hours from me! I think I might just have to get there!

Awesome news!

I hope it's as good as the Annihilator song of the same name.

I really liked Redeemer of Souls. The best of the comeback era albums.

Of course i'll check it out.

Nice! That Youngstown show is only about an hour away from me.

This will be an automatic buy for me.. excited to find out that black star Riders and Saxon will be on this tour with priests in America...

Automatic buy. Is the cover art available yet?

Cool. Bring it on. So much for their "retirement" I guess.

Nothing yet. Only the title and tour dates were announced.

I like it better than Angel of Retribution. Though I was more stoked to hear AoR originally (for obvious reasons), Redeemer of Souls somehow connected with me better. I like pretty much every song on it.
