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.

Haven't heard anything about pre-orders. Are they exclusive to JP website, or somewhere else? I have a copy on it's way when it's released, cause you get a free copy if you buy a concert ticket to their upcoming tour, but I was planning on buying the vinyl version. Is there a deluxe edition with vinyl included that you know of?

Just these:

Though I can get it cheaper from a different shop since I'm ordering a bunch of other stuff too. But essentially those are the options.

Cool, thanks! I just ordered the orange splatter vinyl. Can’t wait to get it!

I dunno guys; I'm oddly not feeling it on this one. Production is hella better, tho.

I will most likely preorder my copy from amazon. Will they be releasing a deluxe edition cd similar to redeemer of souls?

I like it but the one (big) issue I have is that Lightning Strike is screaming for the kind of blistering twin guitar solo that we all love but it just isn't there!

Good point, even when applied to the riffing. Without the twin attack, the song feels rather anemic.

very short but I like it can't wait to hear more.

Sounds good to me!

I like the sounds of that short snippet.

Everything sounds good in 12 second clips. I'd listen to Cannibal Corpse in 12 second increments.

Try longer Cannibal increments.

i can't wait for March 9th. i pre ordered mine weeks ago through their PledgeMusic campaign. it's a Shirt and CD bundle. Priest is gonna bring it in March!.

Title track is up on youtube now. I'm really liking this album so far, and can't wait for my copies!

This is interesting but I am still not familiar enough with the new song to tell the difference.

I f*cking love Priest!!

Love the opening riff and the double bass in this one. Very psyched.

Very good. The metal gods always deliver.

Sounds a lot better than the last album! Looking forward to hearing the whole album

I love the chorus on the title track. Really wish I could see this tour with Saxon opening now. I saw them together on the RoS tour and it was fantastic.

The opening riff reminds me of part of "Machine Man" from Demolition.
