Description
[Machine Translation] JUDAS PRIEST, the "Metal Gods", release their first new album in 6 years after the addition of a new guitarist! A must-listen for heavy metal fans all over the world! Judas Priest, the most prominent band in the heavy metal scene for 40 years as "Metal Gods", has finally released their 17th original album "Redeemer of Souls", their first album in 6 years! After the announcement of the "Epitaph Tour", which was titled "The Last World Tour" and took place from 2011 to 2012, the shocking news of the departure of original member K.K. Downing (G) spread around the world, and the band was temporarily forced to leave. The news of the departure of original member K.K. Downing (G) from the band was a shock to many heavy metal fans who wondered if the "Metal Gods" were finally coming to an end. Judas Priest had heavy metal fans yelling, "Will the metal gods finally come to an end? However, the world tour (Japan in February 2012), which was a mixture of expectation and anxiety, not only convinced the fans, but also the new guitarist, Richie Faulkner, whose aggressive and technical playing far exceeded their expectations, coupled with his beautiful blond looks reminiscent of K.K. in his younger days, made his first appearance on the tour a success. The result was not only to convince fans, but also to breathe new life into a band with over 40 years of history. Six years after their last album, "Nostradamus," the new album is finally completed. The previous album was the band's first two-disc set, and as the title "metal opera" suggests, it was the most conceptual album in Judas Priest's history, with a massive sound incorporating strings and synth guitars, and a grand, suite-like composition. The new album is a return to the Judas Priest style of "heavy metal on the high road. The driving force behind this is the presence of Richie Faulkner, who was originally a member of Judas Priest. Richie Faulkner, who originally admired Judas Priest, has not only lived up to expectations on tour, but has also made a significant contribution to the band in terms of songwriting along with Rob Halford (Vo) and Glenn Tipton (G). It will be interesting to see how their talents are demonstrated in the new album. The new album "Redeemer of Souls" is a reinforcement of our passion for the belief in "Judas Priest style heavy metal". Here is a combination of the highest standards Judas Priest has ever created. Judas Priest has entered a new phase in their matured history. The "Metal Gods" are immortal!

リディーマー・オブ・ソウルズ [輸入盤] / ジューダス・プリースト
“メタル・ゴッド”ジューダス・プリースト、新ギタリスト加入後初となる6年振りのニュー・アルバム! 全世界ヘヴィ・メタル・ファン必聴! “メタル・ゴッド”として40年間ヘヴィ・メタル・シーンを牽引してきた重鎮中の重鎮バンド、ジューダス・プリーストが通算17枚目、実に6年振りとなるオリジナル・アルバム『リディーマー・オブ・ソウルズ』をついに発表! Redeemer=救い主、贖い主の意。2011年から12年にかけて行なわれ、“最後のワールド・ツアー”と銘打たれた「エピタフ・ツアー」の発表後に、オリジナル・メンバーのK.K.ダウニング (G)が脱退という衝撃ニュースが世界中を駆け巡り、一時は“メタル・ゴッドもついに終焉に向かってしまうのか!?”とヘヴィ・メタル・ファンをヤキモキさせたジューダス・プリースト。期待と不安が入り混じったそのワールド・ツアー (日本は12年2月に来日)はしかし、初披露された新加入のギタリスト、リッチー・フォークナーの期待を遥かに上回るアグレッシヴかつテクニカルなプレイと、若かりし頃のK.Kを彷彿とさせる金髪の美形ルックスも相まって、ファンを納得させただけでなく、結果、40年以上の歴史を持つ重鎮バンドに新たな生命力を吹き込む形となったのだった。そして前アルバム『ノストラダムス』から6年の歳月を経て、ついにニュー・アルバムが完成した。前作はバンド初の2枚組で“メタル・オペラ”と銘打ったように、ストリングスやシンセ・ギターを取り入れた重厚サウンドと組曲的で壮大な構成のジューダス・プリースト史上最もコンセプチュアルな作風となったが、今回のニュー・アルバムは徹頭徹尾ジューダス・プリースト流の“王道ヘヴィ・メタル”に回帰している。その原動力となったのは、やはりリッチー・フォークナーの存在だ。元々ジューダス・プリーストに憧れていたというリッチーは、ツアーで期待に応えただけでなく、作曲面でもロブ・ハルフォード (Vo)、グレン・ティプトン (G)と共に多大な貢献を果たしているとのこと。その才能が今回の作品でいかに発揮されているかも要注目だ。「ニュー・アルバム『リディーマー・オブ・ソウルズ』は、“ジューダス・プリースト流ヘヴィ・メタル”の信念に対する我々の情熱を増強した作品に仕上がっている。ジューダス・プリーストがこれまで創造してきたものの最高水準のコンビネーションがここにはある。それは、怒涛のギター・リフとソロ、雷のように轟くドラム、骨太のベース・グルーヴ、そして全てを切り裂くようなヴォーカルだ」――ジューダス・プリースト 熟成させた歴史を踏まえ新たなフェーズに突入した“メタル・ゴッド”、不滅なり!
