Battle Cry

Description

New Live Album Recorded in August 2015 at Germanys Wacken Festival While on the Redeemer of Souls Tour!

Judas Priests tour in support of their seventeenth studio album overall, Redeemer Of Souls, was one of the most extensive of the groups entire career consisting of 130 shows in 33 countries, and offering a setlist that touched upon selections from nearly all of their classic albumsand now, fans can relive the ultimate live Priest experience once more, with the release of the new live album Battle Cry.

Recorded live on August 1, 2015 at Germanys infamous Wacken Festival in front of an audience of 85,000 screaming metal maniacs, Battle Cry is presented here as a 15-track 180g 2LP-set. What makes the shows track listing so appealing is it balances new classics (Dragonaut, Halls Of Valhalla, Redeemer Of Souls) along with head-banging classics (Metal Gods, Electric Eye, Youve Got Another Thing Coming), as well as key album tracks from yesteryear (Devils Child, Beyond The Realms of Death, Jawbreaker).

Originally formed during the early 70s in Birmingham, England, Judas Priest is responsible for offering metal fans worldwide some of the genres most influential and landmark albums (1980s British Steel, 1982s Screaming For Vengeance, 1990s Painkiller etc.), while helping spread metal music to audiences not normally associated with the genre and helping popularize the now instantly recognizable denim and leather look.

For decades, Judas Priest has been one of the greatest live bands in the entire heavy metal genre. And as evidenced by Battle Cry, the band is rocking harder and more ferociously than ever.
