It’s hard to believe, but the original ‘Defenders Of The Faith’ album was released way back in 1984, that’s three decades ago. I was still a teenager then….
To release the thirtieth anniversary, Sony Music now releases a remastered version of this album, that originally was released on EMI Music, and adds two discs containing a live registration of a show Judas Priest played on May 5th 1984 at the Long Beach Arena in California.
6 years after their previous studio album, the 2008 double-disc conceptual Nostradamus (which we at ConcreteWeb never got to review), Judas Priest is finally back with a new studio recording! In the meantime, the band not only did a couple of world tours, but also took some very dire decisions!
When I saw Trent Reznor featured as one of the musicians in this band/project, I expected some rock music. Nest to Mr. Reznor feature his wife Mariqueen Maandig and another musician known from Nine Inch Nails, Mr. Atticus Ross. Final ‘member’ is visual artist Rob Sheridan.
