Original JUDAS PRIEST Singer ATKINS Releases Promotional DVD: Samples Available - Dec. 16, 2005

Original JUDAS PRIEST frontman Al Atkins has just released a new promotional DVD. Produced by Mpeguk Ltd, the DVD (released on DVD-R) includes music videos of three selected tracks off his new CD, "Demon Deceiver - The Sin Sessions": the title track, "Demon Deceiver", "Cradle to the Grave" and the JUDAS PRIEST classic "Victim of Changes". The musicians include BUDGIE guitarist Simon Lees, DANTE FOX guitarist Mike de Jager, VASELINE RATS bass player Pete MZ Emms, drummers Mick Hales and Adrian Badlands, and guitarist Chris Johnson. The videos include footage shot during the recording of the tracks at MAGNUM's Madhat Studios, JB's Live Music Venue and during Al's tour of the U.S.

Check out sample clips at www.mpeguk.com. Free downloads, including iPod downloads, will be available on the site shortly.

Al has recorded "Victim of Changes" three times on different albums over the last 15 years since he turned solo. "This time it's a much shorter and faster version than before. It's fucking awesome," Atkins said. Also appearing on the album is a song called "Drown", which is said to be a duet between Al and Kansas-based vocalist/guitarist Johnny Lokke.

	fuckin cares. I have never hear him sing with Priest so I wish they would quit saying "original frontman" of Priest. Just let the guy have his own career and his own name without bringing up Priest. Priest never even put any albums out with him singing. If they did, I sure never heard any.

	Paul Di'Anno seem somewhat dignified... Time to move on, fella.

	ummmm... excellent move, getting rid of this hack it was what... 32 years ago they got rid of him? If I was one of the guys in Priest, i would sic the barristers on him and slap a cease and desist order on him, preventing him from trying to associate himself with Priest.

	COMMENT \| I dont know about you guys... posted by : im_broken 12/16/2005 6:50:08 PM

	COMMENT \| this guy is releasing DVD-R's? posted by : kevin242 12/16/2005 6:51:30 PM

	What the hell is that? Why doesnt he just put these video's on his website... why would anyone care anyway? So he wrote some of Victim Of Changes how does that qualify him to use the Judas Priest name 30 years later?

	HALFORD IS GOD

	The band sounds pretty good but his vocals are just awful, I can see why Judas Priest got rid of him. Halford is the man and the only singer for Priest. Screamin For Vengeance and Defenders Of The Faith are two of the greatest metal albums ever.

	COMMENT \| Ripper posted by : CronosWarchild 12/17/2005 6:53:06 AM

	I always thought Ripper was the best vocalist Priest ever had...but now I've read this article...um...I still think so.

	COMMENT \| Priest is a good name but... posted by : lickmylovepump 12/17/2005 11:18:40 AM

	He didn't come up with it, he borrowed it from a Dylan song. So he's getting royalties for calling the band a lyric from a Bob Dylan song, lucky fucker

	COMMENT \| And now for a sensible post? posted by : Cletus Jefferson Hendrix 12/17/2005 1:20:22 PM

	Hmmmmm,,,, so Rob halford is a god? So its not about music then, its about wanking in a hotel after a gig? Grow the feck up and LISTEN to the music, dont discourage it. I actually enjoyed it, quite good really. Chris Johnson?,,, hmmmm never heard of the wanker, but Simon Lees ? WOW ! Go for it Al,,, I enjoyed the stuff dude, Stuff em all. I just bought the DVD.
