Redeemer of Souls will  be released on Columbia in the UK and Epic in the US on 14 July. Guitarist Glenn Tipton told fans not to expect wild experimentation. &#8220;Sometimes  in the past we may have come under fire for being too adventurous  musically \u2013 so we have listened,&#8221; he said. &#8220;From start to finish, Redeemer of Souls is 18 songs of pure classic-Priest metal.&#8221;  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>Those who scoff at the notion of the West Midlands metallers being  adventurous should note that Priest at one point recorded three songs  with chart-dominating 80s producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman, though  sadly they have never seen the light of day.<\/p>\n<p>Judas Priest released  their first album, Rocka Rolla, in 1974. They are credited with being  an inspiration to the New Wave of British heavy metal bands in the late  1970s and early 80s, and their 1980 album, British Steel, is considered  one of the great metal albums.<\/p>\n<p>Redeemer of Souls will be their first album with guitarist Richie Faulkner, who in 2011 replaced founder member KK Downing.<\/p>\n<p>Source: The Guardian<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heavy metal titans Judas Priest have announced their first album since 2008, and their 17th&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4277"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4277\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
