Judas Priest's tour in support of their 17th studio album overall, 'Redeemer of Souls', was one of the most extensive of the group's entire career - consisting of 130 shows in 33 countries, and offering a setlist that touched upon selections from nearly all of their classic albums.<br/><br/>'Battle Cry' is recorded live on August 1st, 2015 at Germany's Wacken Festival in front of an audience of 85,000. What makes the show's track listing so appealing is it balances new classics ('Dragonaut', 'Halls of Valhalla', 'Redeemer of Souls') along with headbanging classics ('Metal Gods', 'Electric Eye', 'You've Got Another Thing Coming'), as well as key album tracks from yesteryear ('Devil's Child', 'Beyond the Realms of Death', 'Jawbreaker'). <br/><br/>Originally formed during the early '70s in Birmingham, England, Priest is responsible for offering metal fans worldwide some of the genre's most influential and landmark albums (1980's 'British Steel', 1982's 'Screaming for Vengeance', 1990's 'Painkiller', etc.), while helping spread metal music to audiences not normally associated with the genre (Live Aid in 1985, and a surprise appearance on American Idol in 2011), and helping popularize the now instantly recognizable "denim and leather" look.<br/><br/>For decades, Judas Priest has been one of the greatest live bands in the entire heavy metal genre. And as evidenced by 'Battle Cry', Priest rock harder and more ferociously than ever.

Judas Priest gjorde flera bra plattor under senare hälften av 70-talet, men det var med "British steel" från 1980 som det exploderade på allvar för dem. Uppföljaren "Point of entry" var något av en besvikelse i jämförelse med föregångaren, men nästa album "Screaming for vengeance" tog dem tillbaka till metal-toppen. Detta album är nästan lika bra som "British steel" och kan troligen stoltsera med att vara det näst bästa albumet av ett av världens största hårdrocksband. Inte så illa!
