The definitive lineup of Judas Priest-vocalist Rob Halford, lead guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing, bass guitarist Ian Hill and drummer Scott Travis-returns in 2005 with the astonishing new album ANGEL OF RETRIBUTION on Epic Records and now available in DualDisc format. It was worth the wait. More than 30 years after forming in the tough, gritty, English steel town of Birmingham, Judas Priest remains at the forefront of the global heavy metal scene.

"We've got a lot of energy," says Tipton. "We're firing on all cylinders and it's obvious on this album. I think it's the most natural Judas Priest album. A lot of people who have listened to it have said it's timeless. You couldn't really date it."

As for the title, Halford says, "We don't have a cut on the record called 'Angel Of Retribution' but what we do have is an amazing piece of artwork that once people see it all the pieces will connect. The artwork really has a way of connecting the past with the present and the future. It's just a great display of the power of Priest as we feel it should be appearing in 2005. Beyond that, I think we live in a time of retribution. I think we live in a time of accountability."

"I really feel that this album is going to be viewed years from now as an absolute classic metal masterpiece," says Halford. "I think what we've created on Angel Of Retribution and what we create from this point on, will be the absolute pinnacle of our ability as writers. It achieves a new level. Everything that we do is from the gut. It's very real. We feel that we have something special here."
