Judas Priest - FirePower - new album 2018

Yes, please.

JP's Facebook sez that the first music video from the new album, for the song "Lightning Strike," will premiere tomorrow (Jan. 5) at Revolvermag.com.

To get everybody psyched up, they posted a quick snippet from said vid, which is too short to be of any use whatsoever

Cannot wait for a full track. Priest always manage to deliver.

Am I the only one that had trouble figuring out what's going on with that album cover? At first I thought it was some kind of jet plane or rocket ship firing canons. It's a robot firing lasers, right?

Looks to be. Two arms, two legs, and a head. Looks like a little nod to the Screaming for Vengeance cover.

This kicks ass!

Awesome song!

The production sounds old-school but with modern dynamics.

Yeah, the production works for the song. It sounds better than the production on RoS. Sounds great! Definitely looking forward to this album even more now!

excellent song! hope the album is more of the same!

I was about to preorder. But what's the selling point of the DELUXE HARDCOVER BOOK EDITION, since I'm looking at it and it doesn't seem to have any extra tracks? Is it just that the packaging is that much nicer/heavier? Or is there like an expanded "book" with commentary/pictures that don't appear on the regular jewelcase booklet?

If it's the former, I'll just go with the regular edition. And I will be pleased to have 14 tracks on it without having to buy a slightly more expensive version to get them all.
