JUDAS PRIEST

The eighteenth full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy/Speed Metal band.
The band's first studio album since 1988's "Ram It Down" to be produced by Tom Allom and the first one with Andy Sneap as co-producer. 
Judas Priest's "Firepower" began under inauspicious circumstances. First, guitarist Glenn Tipton, diagnosed with Parkinson's disease a decade ago, found it necessary to retire from the road; second, they lost out to Bon Jovi for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; and finally, former drummer Dave Holland passed on before this set's issue. But the sound of "Firepower" remains unbowed. Its undiminished power and assaultive mayhem are somewhat tempered in its slower moments by slowly unfurling rage, loss, and menace. It was begun in 2016 by Rob Halford, Tipton, and new guitarist Richie Faulkner. They chose two veteran producers to bring it home: Tom Allom, who helmed every Judas Priest album between 1979's "Unleashed In The East (Live in Japan)" and 1988's "Ram It Down", and Andy Sneap, master producer/engineer of modern Metal. He began his career in 1994 and has worked with everyone from Accept and Exodus to Megadeth, Masterplan, and Testament. He is also a formidable guitarist who is replacing Tipton on the road.
"Firepower" is meaner and leaner than "Redeemer Of Souls"; the songwriting is more diverse and exceptionally tight. It creates a kinetic energy and unified sense of purpose not heard consistently since "Screaming For Vengeance". Judas Priest recorded all together from the studio floor; overdubs were added in post-production. 
Closing in on their 50th anniversary, Judas Priest still possess the musical rigour, showmanship, and force that make other bands bow down. "Firepower" smokes!
The album sold around 49,000 copies in the United States within its first week of release, debuting at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart, making it the band's highest-charting album in the US. The album also reached No. 5 in the UK, making it their first top-ten album in the UK since "British Steel".
In December 2017, "Firepower" was listed by Ultimate Guitar as one of the "Top 25 Most Anticipated Albums of 2018", alongside expected albums by bands like A Perfect Circle, Megadeth, Testament, Alice in Chains, Guns N' Roses, Muse, and The Offspring.
Also, the album takes 5th place at Decibel's "Top 40 Albums of 2018", 3rd place at Loudwire's "The 30 Best Metal Albums of 2018", 4th place at Revolver's "30 Best Metal Albums of 2018", 3rd place at Rolling Stone's "20 Best Metal Albums of 2018", and 1st place at WJCU's "Top 25 Albums of 2018".
