Judas Priest

"Dragonaut"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Jun 13, 2014

Judas Priest have been delivering sneak peeks behind their upcoming Redeemer of Souls of late, with the group's latest preview being the scorching, NWOBHM-styled "Dragonaut."

As you'll see in the player down below [via Blabbermouth], guitarist Richie Faulkner calls this a "rip-roaring" start to the band's new LP, further describing it as "unmistakable Judas Priest." It's hard to argue with that, as the song features tried-and-true chunky riffage, the steady percussive pound of British Steel and vocalist Rob Halford's patented fire-breathing huff-and-puff.

Much like the mighty Dragonaut, the release of Redeemer of Souls is near. The album hits retailers July 8 via Epic Records.
