JUDAS PRIEST’s tour in support of their 17th studio album overall, “Redeemer Of Souls”, was one of the most extensive of the group’s entire career — consisting of 130 shows in 33 countries, and offering a setlist that touched upon selections from nearly all of their classic albums. And now, fans can relive the live PRIEST experience once more, with the release of the new CD/DVD/Blu-ray, “Battle Cry”, on March 25 via Epic Records.
Recorded live on August 1, 2015 at Germany’s Wacken Open Air festival in front of an audience of 85,000, “Battle Cry” is available on a 15-track CD, with the entire show on Blu-ray and DVD (running over 94 minutes), as well as digital audio and video formats. The DVD and Blu-ray also contains three bonus tracks shot in Poland on December 10, 2015 at The Ergo Arena, Gdansk, Poland.
What makes the show’s track listing so appealing is it balances new classics (“Dragonaut”, “Halls of Valhalla”, “Redeemer Of Souls”) along with headbanging classics (“Metal Gods”, “Electric Eye”, “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming”), as well as key album tracks from yesteryear (“Devil’s Child”, “Beyond The Realms Of Death”, “Jawbreaker”).
