Actually it sounds VERY MUCH like classic Priest. And isn't that what people have wanted all along, with all that bitching about Nostradamus and the Ripper stuff? Looks like these 'fans' are finally gonna get what they've been asking for, but the majority of them will still complain. Makes me sick.
The song itself is mediocre. I'v never been a huge fan of classic Priest myself, i like the Ripper stuff. Painkiller was great though. This new songs sounds like it could be off of Painkiller actually, but not as good and with bad production. But I have a feeling the album will be very much like Painkiller overall, which I don't mind because I have been hoping for that. There are a lot of bands who have tried to copy the Painkiller sound (No World Order....GR), it's nice to see the originators coming back and showing them how it's done. I just hope the WHOLE album doesn't sound like Painkiller Pt. 2, but more like Painkiller: Version 10 (a step further and more modern..)
