New song: Donner and Blitzen

 

[Sharp Dressed Man]

I listened to the track last night and wasn't exactly impressed, but listening to it again now, I must say, I'm enjoying it a little more. That being said, I've got everything else Rob has released solo (and with Priest of course) and I really enjoyed “Halford 3: Winter Songs” (I have a thing for Christmas albums), so yeah, I'll definitely pick up “Celestial: too.

On a side note, did you notice the sweater you get in the gold vinyl bundle?





For the record, I'm OK with just the black vinyl.

 

[Slipn]

Well.. Halford could sing The Hokey Pokey and make it metal..

Same, I own everything he's ever done. I thought Halford 3 was a great album and have listened to it a great many times. So, I know I'll be picking up this one as well.

Yeah, that kind of redefines what a "goofy collector's edition" package is. I could see my daughter wearing that sweater.

As for the song, the intro sounds a LOT like the intro from Lightning Strike from Firepower and the verses sound quite a bit like Judas Rising (to me). not that that's a bad thing. I'm definitely going to be picking this up. As SoCo pointed out, Rob could sing the Hokey Pokey and turn it into metal.
