In contrast to Saxon of course, Priest have parted company with their long-time vocalist Rob Halford. (Incidentally, was everyone else as underwhelmed as I was by the recent revelations that Rob is gay? It wasn't really a surprise, and it doesn't really matter. Still, it was well-timed publicity for his new venture). New man "Ripper" Owens high-pitched screaming actually sounds very similar, which is not surprising as he used to be in a Priest covers band.

"Jugulator" is an unpromising start, with a minute-and-a-half of clanking before it really gets going. "Blood Stained" has a go at – wait for it, wait for it – war AND politicians. The Priest do not mess about do they? "Dead Meat", "Death Row" and "Decapitate" all hover around the subjects of crime and punishment.

A lot of the tracks here are just a little too similar: "Burn In Hell", "Brain Dead", "Abductors" and "Bullet Train" are all instantly recognisable as Judas Priest numbers, without rising above the average. The closing cut – "Cathedral Spires" – ponders the end of the earth ("watching as the world expires").

Nice to see the boys carrying on without Rob, but perhaps they could have taken the opportunity to change their style just a little. Mind you, look what happened when Maiden tried that.
