Excellent!

Sounds very promising! I'm hoping for Painkiller part 2... but as long as it's better than any of the other post reunion albums with Halford, I'll be happy!

Excellent, if it's as good as Redeemer then i'm happy.

Excellent. Cannot wait!!!

Now THAT'S some sweet-ass cover art. About time!

Music sounds ok from what you can hear. Hopefully Robs voice sounds better elsewhere on the album.

Already have my copy reserved thanks to the concert tickets I bought a couple weeks ago. I'll probably end up buying a copy on vinyl or if they release a deluxe box set of it. I can't wait for it, I gots a feeling this one is going to be really good. Not that any of the other new ones aren't good also. I happen to like all the post reunion era albums they've released. Only thing wrong with the last one was the production, I thought the songs were all pretty solid.

I like the cover. Didn't hear the samples. Will buy on day of release.

I loved Redeemer of Souls. I even liked the guitar sound, and I think Faulkner is a terrific guitarist. It was the best Priest album post-reunion.

I like what I'm hearing there.

I'm looking forward to the new album.

There's not much music to chew on in that little bitty snippet but it certainly sounds Priestly enough to me...

Ditto!

I will do my best to catch them live in 2018.

Definitely yes!

That album cover has that 70's feel, with the tilted view and large, simple art with a clear colour scheme. Full but not too busy. With modern effects, of course.

very cool album cover. It is what you would expect from Priest. Sounds good too!

I'm ready!

2018 sounds promising. I just read that UDO will also be releasing new material in August!!!

Now back to Priest, I will be playing lots of Priest in anticipation of the upcoming FirePower.

I saw their final tour. I was happy when I heard they'll still record music in
the studio ( reminds me of Beatles) I hope K.K is part of this.
Reading the replies....sounds like they are touring again...ha ! Like KISS final reunion ....
Halford has been a great lyricist - up there with Ozzy - and Dee Snyder....in my opinion.

I don't think I'll be able to make any dates on their spring tour of the US, but I was glad that I got a chance to see the Redeemer of Souls tour.

I doubt he will. That's why they got Faulkner.

I understand KK is happy playing golf.

I can't wait to hear a few songs from the album. At least a single.

I'm interested to hear a full track too. I wasn't huge on Redeemer of Souls, but I didn't hate it by any means. Maybe this one will be different.
