What Ripper song/s do you think Halford could have pulled off or made his own?

None. Probably a reason why they never performed any and pretended the era never existed.

Listening to Jugulator now. Did Ripper write these lyrics? Sorry, I'm not even through the first song yet and want to turn it off. Ripper has only ever been used well in Iced Earth and cover songs. everything else is embarrassing.

Charred Walls of the Damn would like to have a word with you.

No. Glen and Ken wrote the whole album themselves. I think Glen wrote the lyrics.

And, that's one of my fav albums your talking about punk.

We spoke, and although it is better than Jugulator for sure, it's still not that great.

wolfking · « **Reply #425 on:** May 25, 2014, 06:11:06 PM »

First Charred Walls album was spectacular, I just listened to it a week or so ago. The second album was just decent.

Zook · « **Reply #426 on:** May 25, 2014, 06:12:20 PM »

Eh, we both get our metal enjoyment in different ways.

I know it's probably been discussed but what did you think of Heart of a Killer?

Zook · « **Reply #428 on:** May 25, 2014, 06:21:09 PM »

The title track was kinda decent, as was that instrumental of which I forgot the name, but it was about natural disasters, but the album as a whole was really cheesy, and the only memorable thing from it was Ripper constantly saying COHAGAN which got annoying very fast, so memorable in a bad way.

wolfking · « **Reply #429 on:** May 25, 2014, 06:29:59 PM »

It was cheesy, but I didn't mind it.

Maybe Lost & Found, I think that would be a safe one to do.

I think Heart of a Killer is a fantastic disc; I have the two disc special edition with the bonus disc being Winters Bane live. Ripper is awesome on it. I thought both CWOTD were good; but not one song stood out to me as being different from the other. The first was better then the second for sure

wolfking · « **Reply #431 on:** May 26, 2014, 05:44:39 AM »

The first CWOTD is so damn good. I should get the second one out, I remember it didn't stick right away so perhaps I didn't give it enough of a chance.

I can't see how it can recover from these two tracks, but never say never.

I like it, sounds better than anything I've heard from this album before.

Now we are starting to get somewhere. It's looking like Richie is going to dominate the solos on the album for some reason, which I don't like at all.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #439 on:** May 28, 2014, 08:08:44 PM »

best of the bunch so far for sure

Lowdz · « **Reply #440 on:** May 29, 2014, 02:39:46 AM »

After the big scream I was expecting a more lively vocal but it seems RH is going to be on autopilot throughout. I'm not asking for Painkiller-esque screaming but a bit of life in the performance would be something.
Still, this sounds more promising than the previous samples.

I think it may be the production more than halford, it needs a lot more kick to it.

....and we take another step back. Sounds like they were listening to I from Dehumanizer, but only ripped the intro and forgot about the heavy parts.

This is shaping up to be really disappointing album so far.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure its going to be one of those discs for that I will play once in awhile just for the sake of playing it.

Lowdz · « **Reply #446 on:** June 05, 2014, 02:51:07 PM »

I do quite like the sound of this track. Very old school Priest and sounds a bit livelier in the vocal finally, without being at all heavy.

ozzy554 · « **Reply #447 on:** June 05, 2014, 03:05:30 PM »

halls of Valhalla and crossfire sound promising. March of the dammed has grown on me, I still think Redeemer is meh though.

Looks like the release date's been pushed up to July 8th in N. America. Can't wait!

A bit more promise, but not doing much for me. Weird chorus.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #452 on:** June 09, 2014, 04:24:17 PM »

I really like the sound of this one.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #453 on:** June 09, 2014, 05:28:10 PM »

Picked up the current Rolling Stone issue while waiting in the checkout line while grocery shopping today.
That "Redeemer" song got a 4/5 stars

I can't help but think that some of these tunes that we have heard already would be much better with Owens.
