There are a few ways to categorise Redeemer Of Souls. Its their seventeenth record overall, their third since scream machine Rob Halford rejoined the band and, most significantly, the first to feature new kid on the rock Richie Faulkner in place of founding guitarist KK Downing, who left in 2011, citing the old chestnut of creative differences. Perhaps its this infusion of young blood (Faulkner is over 30 years the junior of most of the band), but theres a noticeable focus on their old-school fire-in-the-belly histrionics than last time around on 2008s ambitious but short-of-the-mark Nostradamus.
