Judas Priest – Firepower

Judas Priest – Firepower

Released March 9th, 2018

Judas Priest are back with their 18th studio album, Firepower. The riffs are strong, choppy, hooky and powerful harnessing a back-to-basics full-throttled heavy metal they helped define as a genre. Firepower keeps the feel of their much earlier releases and stands up admirably against classics like Turbo, or Defenders of the Faith. Halford’s voice is still one of the best in the business, though there are noticeable less high notes, enough are sprinkled throughout to remind us of his vocal range.
