New Release of the Week: Judas Priest – A Touch of Evil Live [2009]
The best new album that you will find in stores and on iTunes today is not Daughtry’s Leave This Town or The Redemption by Brooke Hogan, it is A Touch of Evil: Live by Judas Priest, the fifth live album by the heavy metal pioneers.
A Touch of Evil: Live contains 11 classic tracks recorded between 2005 and 2008 and serves as a nice compliment to the current British Steel 30th Anniversary Tour. These are songs from Painkiller [1990], Angel of Retribution [2005], and Nostradamus [2008] which have never been officially released live.
My favorites on A Touch of Evil are “Painkiller,” “Hellrider,” and “Judas Rising.” There are only two tunes from last year’s concept album which has really grown on me since. -Meds
Judas Priest is Rob Halford (Vocals), K.K. Downing (Guitars), Glenn Tipton (Guitars), Ian Hill (Bass), & Scott Travis (Drums).
