treeduck Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 I'll just slip this into the thread, some people have already seen this but I thought I might as well post it: I've compiled all the info we have so far on the Firepower songs. I've gone track by track with the info: 1. Firepower - "A kick ass statement!" "It's gonna send a message we feel that this is some intense shit!" 2. Lightning Strike - This is the one song we've heard so far. 3. Evil Never Dies - "Actually, my favourite is “Evil Never Dies”.I love the way that it goes! It starts off as mid-tempo, pretty strong, and by the end it’s such a crescendo. Such an intense ending! You just sit back and …the riff… It’s such an intense ending. It grows into that ending with different qualities, with different things that are special about them." Richie's fave and one of Scott Travis' favourites 4. Never the Heroes 'Never The Heroes', I think, is a great, meaningful song in the sense just lyrically, even though I had nothing to do with the lyrics, but it's a great song [with] a great hook. Another Scott Travis favourite. 5. Necromancer In my opinion, the best track of the “Firepower” is the “Necromancer” because it’s the most evil and dark song. Do you have any favourites and why- if you have any special? “Necromancer”, you’re right, is a dark song, it’s a simple song, it’s a heavy song 6. Children of the Sun [no info on this yet] 7. Guardians "a beautiful intro, a musical instrumental almost like classic Queen, has this piano then these almost Brian May-esque guitars come in, great, great stuff." 8. Rising from Ruins "Rob hasn't sung like this for decades, clean sing-song vibe to his singing." A favourite of Scott and Ian. Ian calls it one of the "big production pieces." 9. Flame Thrower [no info on this yet] 10. Spectre [no info on this yet but we've heard that great clip] 11. Traitors Gate Another of the big production pieces according to Ian 12. No Surrender [No info on this yet] 13. Lone Wolf A favourite of Ian and Scott, "The heaviest song Priest have ever done" 14. Sea of Red "a softer side to part of it" Another song where Halford is singing like he hasn't in decades. "So beautiful and powerful, "incredibly powerful vocals on this song" "a magical moment that closes out the record"Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I would shell out to see Priest play anything from Stained Class. Criminally overlooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I would shell out to see Priest play anything from Stained Class. Criminally overlooked. Beyond The Realms Of Death is a set regular but nothing else from that album has been in the set for a long time if ever. Exciter was last done on the Angel Of Retribution tour but that's pretty much it for the album. I wonder if Halford has a hard time singing a lot of the 70s material so they just avoid it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here he is singing White Heat, Red Hot a few years ago with Halford: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 He sings better on this one, in fact this might be the best Halford vocal performance of this song: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QtjdDiMLVg Okay, I'm gonna say it. Better than Lightning Strike. They're thrashing harder than Metallica does anymore (not a huge compliment except Priest aren't exactly known for thrashing). Also, that guitar solo...woah. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 One thing I notice about these new songs is they're both about 3 minutes long but there's a lot of music packed into those three minutes and nothing wasted and no fat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it emailed to me from the Pledge guys!Sweet... ...eagerly awaiting your review!Not the whole album just Firepower the song! I think it's great! First observation is Halford sounds powerful and the second is the first guitar solo is really melodic and thematic. I wonder if that's Richie or Glenn? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me the best metal albums they have done. I wasn't keen on British Steel but loved Sad Wings Of Destiny. The only two I tried, although I did play Rocka Rolla once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 The song is a beast and to the point. Great one-two punch to open the album now with this one and Lightning Strike. My favourite Priest albums always start off with that one-two punch, so I'm happy this will be the same. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Love the title track. That followed by Lightning Strike is not only a great way to open the album but also to open the shows on this tour. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
