Judas Priest :: A Touch Of Evil-Live
Epic/Sony Music
By The Atomic Chaser
Forged by the gods of Heavy Metal, Judas Priest unleashes its power with Unbridled power fury with no mercy with, 'A Touch of Evil'. Recorded live, Judas Priest show why they are considered giants and legends in the world Of Heavy Metal. Fronted by the almighty Rob Halford on vocals, guitarists Glenn Tipton and KK Downing, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Scott Travis, this live recording doesn’t disappoint. Focusing primarily on fan favorite album tracks that were previously unreleased in live. ‘A Touch of Evil: Live’ features absolutely scintillating renditions of such Priest rockers as “Riding on the Wind,” “Beyond the Realms of Death,” “Dissident Aggressor,” “A Touch of Evil,” “Eat Me Alive,” and the set-closing juggernaut “Painkiller.” This is also the first live album appearances of standouts from Priest’s critically acclaimed 2008 concept double disc, ‘Nostradamus’ with “Death” and “Prophecy”. Recorded by Martin Walker and Brian Thorene during the Judas Priest’s mammoth 2005 and 2008 world tours, ‘A Touch of Evil: Live’ also marks the first Priest album that producer Tom Allom has worked on since 1988 (co-producing along with the band). It was such Allom-produced albums as the aforementioned ‘Unleashed in the East,’ as well as ‘British Steel’ and ‘Screaming for Vengeance’ (among others) that made Priest not only one of the premier metal acts, but one of the leading global rock acts. As heard throughout ‘A Touch of Evil: Live,’ Priest remain a must-see live act… and a must-hear one, as well. The Metal gods have once again given metal heads around the world a reason to raise the devil horns! Judas Priest is a metal band all about versatility, and this live recording displays it perfectly. They rocked hard in the 70's and sound meaner and better than ever today! When it comes to bringing the Heavy Metal, no one does it better than the Priest! Buy 'A Touch of Evil', I promise you this; you will be touched in ways unimaginable!
