Metal Mythos: Judas Priest 'INVINCIBLE SHIELD' Review

[@TheRageaholic]

This isn't actually a re-upload! It's the original upload, which has been in copyright jail for the last week. The version previously available was edited and chopped up a bit. Well... I fought the law and... I WON! So now, the RazörForce can enjoy this Metal Mythos album review - unedited - as originally intended! (Also, new rant drops in less than an hour!)

[@betornween]

Ok, so see my comment in your previous posting. I don't have time to rewrite it here.

[@lilmike2710]

I'm looking forward to the rant.

[@chaosgyro]

Godspeed!

[@patient_6925]

Unprecedented! Beat the law!?!

[@illegal_space_alien]

Was it just me, or did a lot of the drums sound like they came from the Phil Collins sample pack? They're not bad, per se. But they aren't Priest either.

[@stevensellars5587]

I saw Priest in concert with Sabaton last night. Awesome show.

[@GodsmackAR69]

If it was the one in Minneapolis, I was there. Great show, great crowd. I never thought I would see them play Devil's Child or Saints In Hell, but that was a pleasant surprise.🤘

[@faylinn1]

Saw them in StL the following night. Sabaton was much better. Crowd thought so, too.

[@JonMallek]

​@@faylinn1You're making that up.

[@faylinn1]

@JonMallek Nope. Crowd was much rowdier for Sabaton, more involved.

[@Thought_Criminality]

Saw them in boston as well. More Sabaton fans than Priest ones oddly enough

WTF? You actually WON a copyright argument with the powers that be at KZbin? Razor once again doing the impossible!

[@Renorick1]

"Died of clinical surprise!" Damn near sounds like a Monty Python or Douglas Adams line. Writing that one down.

[@DionysusJPower]

Hey dude, you gonna review the Kk's Priest albums? Also, any thoughts on the Tony Martin Black Sabbath albums finally being remastered?

[@vonfaustien3957]

Not as good as firepower but better than Maidens last 3 albums

[@SlayerMasterPWI]

100%. Those Maiden albums have been huge stinkers.

[@cacherodelaspampas8658]

Better than Firepower and better than everything Maiden has released since Brave new world.

[@ericrobertson2024]

Yes

[@platypus2141]

its good as fire power

[@johndiamond4088]

Everyone has an opinion but yeah Invincible Shield is better than Firepower in fact in my opinion it's the best Judas Priest album since 1984's Defenders Of The Faith. Judas Priest could release British Steel right now instead of in 1980 and this Metal Myth geek would s**t all over it. Iron Maiden could release The Number Of The Beast right now instead of in 1982 and this blabbermouth would s**t all over it his reviews are simply not valid.

[@maxwellihm5373]

Just saw them in Chicago on wednesday, with Sabaton as the opening band. Rob still fuckin wails even at 72.

[@bloodlinefilms]

priest and sabaton? that had to have kicked all the ass in the western hemisphere

[@snowdog202]

I was at that show. It kicked serious ass.

[@DannyKnightblade45]

At 72 years old?! That's impressive!

[@550n440]

The “more filler” line has me cracking up.

[@Ventargard]

From what I remember, you didn't review Accept's 2021 album "Too Mean to Die" and they just came out with the "Humanoid" album. Curious about your review on them

[@avppr3451]

Humanoid kicks ass from start to finish

[@mitchelltheawesome1]

That moment when Melon likes a Judas Priest album more than Razor.

[@thebigz3786]

Did you like Crown of Horns? That was up there as one of my favorites, along with Trial by Fire.

[@MikeWiest]

Naw, that’s the only one I skip. Glad you like it! 😊

[@larrybrown9883]

I always look forward to your feverishly ferocious album reviews. I myself really like this record. It seems to combine the old school Painkiller vibe with the more modern Firepower. I think it has a few predictable pasty moments but overall this kicks the shit out of just about everything coming out lately. Plus at their age this is rather impressive and shows the youngsters out there how it's done.

[@overkilled653]

Metal Mythos: COMMENCE!!!

[@ROCCATEER92]

While Invincible Shield is not as good as Firepower, there a still some songs here that mop the floor with everything Iron Maiden has put out in the last quarter of a century...

When will Razorfist rant about the Uniparty killing the 1st Amendment today with a very stupid bill?

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

He'll probably have to cover the repealing of Arizona's older abortion law first.

[@andypostema4269]

If razor covered everything going wrong in this country, he would never sleep.

[@cubiehole]

First clip of Rob Halford had me thinking he was the Seer from Krull.

[@themajesticamericanwoodcoc1951]

Eventually Razor is gonna be arguing the only original member of Judas Priest was KK's mom since she sang him lullabies as a baby.

[@PanzerblitzRnR]

It's so extremely pedantic.

[@roberthanson6156]

I’m a little confused did you like the album or not?

[@vinylsolution2522]

Get working on the Thin Lizzy, UFO, Van Halen and Cirith Ungol Mythos. Pretty please?

[@Thought_Criminality]

KK and Accept coming to boston in september same weekend as powerwolf and unleash the archers. HYPE!

[@johnstuartkeller5244]

Referencing the MM: Black Sabbath, when will we get the followup on ANNO DOMINI?

[@elcraigio1397]

Razor! Bring back the Mythos full-time! We need this shit...

[@Ocelotonatiuh]

Holy sh!t Razorfist just referenced Vicente "Chente" Fernandez. Respect

[@MetalheadCurt]

Copyright Hell is a bitch. But on another note, metal has been going strong this year. New Saxon, Priest, and Accept albums, two bands of which I'm going to see live! 2024's another one for the books.

[@ge2719]

that will smith clip edit... 🤣 can i not Will? she seems very teethy and quick to anger. rather not risk it.

[@snowdog202]

Just saw Priest a few days ago and the show killed. Halford still has the pipes

[@dilloncrowe1018]

But Razor, didn't you say that Rik Foxx coming up with the band name for W.A.S.P. made him a founding memeber? If Ian Hill and Al Atkins suggested Judas Priest, the why wouldn't they be original members too?

[@TheRageaholic]

Because that was a completely different band. That band JOINED the band K.K. was in. And decided to use the name of the PREVIOUS band, which had been called 'Judas Priest'.

[@dilloncrowe1018]

@TheRageaholic sounds like the same supervillian origin story to me, but whatever... doesn't matter I suppose.

[@borisvandruff7532]

That clip with Sammy Hagar at the end. 😆

[@David-lb3tp]

BUT WHEN IS THE DIO METAL MYTHOS

[@SE-fm2nw]

Always fun to see what TV shows Robs been binging when i read the lyric sheet...

[@GoodHunter9]

and here I am wishing for Razor to do a video on KK's 2 wonderful albums.

[@theanalyzer3172]

Im still relatively new to metal (been listening for 2 years now), can you do a metal mythos on Keel?

[@RorytheRomulan]

I recognize the name Rob Halford. I was never much of a metal head to pay much attention to names of band members, so my neurons connect "Rob Halford" to his Christmas album.

[@BlitzedNostradamus]

Saw Priest and Sabaton for the first time this weekend and it was a divine experience.

[@avengedking]

Can you do the band TNT next? (The Norigen one)

[@Highlander_Burial]

Long shot, but what are the odds there’s another full length Mythos on the way? Big fan \m/

[@etanb1]

Did Halford really just give out his address in that interview?

[@zvistrazynski6239]

When is the next Mythos vid dropping !?

[@Geerladenlad]

I'm going to write an explanation for the re-uploaded down below.... Explanation

[@AlexRazorGame]

Really? Hsowing the worst part part of "Giants" instead of the best omne - chorus? This album is the best thing they've recorded since Angel of Retribution! Some songs sound like they're lost tracks from Screaming, Defenders, or Painkiller!

[@trobertw]

Its a good album

[@Harbinger_of_nurgle]

Razor what’s your take on the new Accept album?

[@fyrebrandmetal]

My favorite was definitely “Serpent and the King” but I agree the first half is way better than the first. For a bunch of 70 y/o dudes, it ain’t bad.

[@grimmben4898]

Ouch

[@Slyjuanreviews]

Coño Razor, este disco está bueno.

[@SpanHog]

can't wait to meet Rob, Alice, Stryper, Blackie, Mustaine, and many others in Heaven later on.

[@thestørmcrier2024]

2:09 😂😂😂unreal

[@DannyKnightblade45]

That edit is hilarious!

[@roberthanson6156]

Would love to see you do an interview with Rob

[@fogblades6811]

I really enjoyed a lot on this album personally, however I think I overall agree that the latter half of this record could have been taken out entirely and still be functional without it. To me, Rob has been sounding more alive in recent years than any other singer in Metal that I can think of.

[@samir6047]

what happened to metal mythos, the world needs more of those.

[@6thUser]

To me, between KK and JP camp, ironically, songs would work better if they swapped singers 😅

[@bran1886]

God Giants in the Sky sucks, but I couldn't agree more about the album. The highs of Shield are even better than Firepower but Firepower was a much more consistent album start to finish. The Sinner Rides Again by KK's Priest is so fucking good and simply a much better album start to finish than Shield.

[@_Snafu_]

Got my copy of ghost of the Badlands early reading through it right now and boy oh boy is this already a banger

[@Velanestar]

Reupload?

[@TheABElia]

Not as good as Firepower, but pretty damn close

[@bigbillywillysgrandadventu7737]

See this, Maiden, Mayhem, and 80% of Thrash bands, can't become a musical beach whale if you actually have passion for your genre and not just your bank account.

[@FrancisTheBerd]

Praise this power, strength and union God-fuckin-speed

[@michaelwong6050]

It's a good album, albeit a front-loaded one. Gates of Hell is my personal favourite. It still blows away anything Maiden and Metallica have done in the past 2 decades or so.

[@aviatordanz]

Saw the Sabaton and Priest show on the last leg of their tour, glad I got to see two legends at once. The impression of what I got from (at least what they played of) Invincible Shield in its live set is at worst, its generic Priest that'll be lost to the back catalog, and at best... made for a very good show (Panic Attack's solo rules live) and a decent addition or two to one of my playlists.

[@TheDukeOfPannekoeken]

deja vu

[@AdarBlu]

and suddenly my head is full of eurobeat instead of metal

[@megaduck7965]

that KK’s priest album is fine at best , maybe more consistent but the peaks don’t even come close

[@XCenturionX]

Love it

[@neugey]

Back to re-like, not gonna let the man squeeze you Razor

[@CarsofMetal77]

My son and I saw JP on Saturday and we love the new album. Sure some of it is standard fare, but it works and its heavier than the latest from Metallica.

[@andrettski8686]

I give credit to these old bands for trying but Priest will never top 'Painkiller'. Accept will never top 'Blood of the Nations' which was one of the best comeback Metal albums, IMO.

[@2tone209]

AY UP RAZORFIST

[@greenman5229]

So they became a Christian band.

[@jeremycarnes1656]

Not really. Just the lyricist. But honestly, If my conservative, orthodox Lutheran ass can enjoy Morbid Angel albums, than there's no reason non-Christians can't chill out and not go into Linda Blair fits whenever they catch the faint wiff of a communion wafer.

[@BaronBlack81]

Been a priest fan since the 90s. This album is the best since Painkiller. I like Razorfist too, but the guy is so bent on being edgy its exhausting.

[@kennyunderwood3602]

crown of horns....serpent and the king

[@metalinsights9664]

Judas Priest have always been about delivering albums with the best and worst of metal, particularly albums with jaw-dropping openers, followed by tired and inaccessible classic rock mediocrity. Case in point: Ram It Down and Screaming for Vengeance, but there are many more. Too many to name.

[@bastardluigi]

Oh well, suppose I gotta watch this again.

[@asdfasdfasdf725]
