Judas Priest - To Release 'Defenders Of The Faith' Expanded Edition
This year marks the 30th anniversary of one of Judas Priest's best albums: Defenders Of The Faith. On March 9th 2015, a newly expanded 3CD version of the heavy metallers 1984 album Defenders Of The Faith will be unleashed.

Written by DeathSlyzer on 11.12.2014 at 23:46 Perhaps it's simply a response to the relatively poor reception that Redeemer of Souls got.

Cool. May pick this up, being that it's one of my two favorite Priest albums. Though, the previous remaster (2001?) was quite good enough, I'm curious to see how it could improve (or not).

Written by DeathSlyzer on 11.12.2014 at 23:46 Bands release remastered anniversary editions of their classic albums. It's always been the case and it always will be. Sometimes such editions are utterly brilliant - Flotsam and Jetsam's "Doomsday for the Deceiver" is the best example. That's what you're missing.

Written by Jason W. on 12.12.2014 at 01:30 The 2001 remaster was horrible, as in complete coaster material. I wish they would mean by "the original ten-track album" the original pressing and not the compressed-to-hell mess that was the 2001 remaster, but I really don't believe that is the case. They are probably going to release the same remaster in a new package. Talk about a ripoff.
