July 3, 2009, 15 years ago
US radio show The Rockin' 80's, which is heard all over North America, spoke with JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford and K.K. Downing recently regarding the impending 30th anniversary of the landmark metal record British Steel. According to a show description, "We will be discussing all the things metal, and tracking one of the most influential records of the 80's, British Steel in it's entirety. Both Rob and K.K. provide commentary on each track. We also will get around to discussing this summers big North American tour to celebrate this milestone."
The show will be streaming from today (July 3rd) until July 5th at this location.
Judas Priest will be releasing their new live album, A Touch Of Evil: Live, on July 14th via Sony Music and Epic Records.
The album will be available in Japan on July 22nd, and will include two bonus tracks, 'Worth Fighting For' (Live World Tour) and 'Deal With The Devil' (Live World Tour).
A Touch of Evil: Live features absolutely scintillating renditions of such Priest gems as 'Riding On The Wind', 'Beyond The Realms Of Death', 'Dissident Aggressor', 'A Touch Of Evil', 'Eat Me Alive', and the set-closing 'Painkiller'. Also of note are the first live album appearances of standouts from Priest’s critically acclaimed 2008 concept double disc, Nostradamus ('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 complete tracklist for A Touch of Evil: Live’ is as follows: 'Judas Rising', 'Hellrider', 'between The Hammer And The Anvil', 'Riding On The Wind', 'Death', 'Beyond The Realms Of Death', 'Dissident Aggressor', 'A Touch Of Evil', 'Eat Me Alive', 'Prophecy', 'Painkiller'. Japanese bonus tracks: 'Worth Fighting For' (Live World Tour) and 'Deal With The Devil' (Live World Tour).
