Judas Priest Defenders Of The Faith Re-Mastered

Judas Priest      Defenders Of The Faith     Re-Mastered      My Teen age days were spent cranking metal on my record player. Yes. Record player. My room was covered in heavy metal posters. I can remember buying the new Defenders of the Faith album and just playing it over and over. The twin lead attack of k.k and Glenn burning into my air guitar playing mind.      30 years later the entire album has been re-mastered to perfection!      Judas Priest is one of the most iconic and widely recognized metal band in the world. Rob Halford's stellar vocal range is countered by his almost ethereal ability to lower his range and hit you right in your soul. Priest never disappoints. And this album, now re-mastered and including some amazing live tracks, is no exception. "Turbo Lover", "Freewheel burning" are rock solid flag bearers of 80's metal. This is Priest unrivalled and unleashed. ...

Interview With Scott Ian Of Anthrax/ Book Review

Interview with Scott Ian Of Anthrax/I'm The Man book review I'm The Man   The Story Of That Guy from Anthrax   Scott   Ian of Anthrax was high on my list of people to one day interview. So when the opportunity came to review his new Book, "I'm The Man", I jumped at the bonus chance to interview the man himself. Truly responsible for being a forerunner in the American Thrash Metal Movement, Scott and Anthrax are in the Pantheon of metal icons. His music is inspirational for so many bands, his guitar sledgehammer sound is a like a juggernaut of pure molten metal. He is onstage a force to be reckoned with. But I found the book and the man himself to be sincere, down to Earth, and honest. The history of Anthrax is interwoven with tales of hard partying, and dreams when metal was still in its true infancy. This book presents the reader with a drone like view of the rough road to success. The book is one wild ride throughout his life and you feel drawn to th...

It is what led me to discover your music. Are there any plans to do more Maiden songs? Thanks so much! “Fear of the Dark” is our favorite Maiden song and we had a ton of fun covering it! We also recently posted a video for our arrangement of “Dance of Death” – which was our most elaborate music video to date! We have gotten a lot of requests to cover more Iron Maiden, so you can definitely expect more in the future. We have yet another Maiden s...

Finally found a way to do it and we are just killing it in the studio. We would like to do a quick turnaround and get it out before the end of the summer. How do you find the time t...
