Editorial Reviews

The re-release of AL ATKINS fifth solo album 'Demon Deceiver' is appropriate as 2009 marks 40 years since Al formed JUDAS PRIEST. Al co wrote many of Priest's classic songs such as 'Rocka Rolla', 'Victim Of Changes', 'Dreamer Deceiver' and 'Sad Wings Of Destiny'. Since leaving Judas Priest Al has over the years released some critically acclaimed albums including his very first solo album in 1989 'Judgement Day'. Since recording 'Demon Deceiver' Al has formed The HOLY RAGE which is the heaviest project he has been involved in since Judas Priest. The two bonus tracks on this album were recorded in June 2009 and 'A Void To Time' features guitar legend BERNIE TORME.

5.0 out of 5 stars Al Atkins - 'Demon Deceiver... Plus' (Angel Air), February 1, 2012

This review is from: Demon Deceiver...Plus (Audio CD)

Al Atkins (given name: Alan John Atkins) was the vocalist that apparently left Judas Priest to be replaced by the Metal God of all heavy metal vocalists Rob Halford. According to my source, 'Demon Deceiver' was released several years ago on a label Diesel And Glory with ten songs. Then reissued on Angel Air with two extra cuts. I was literally astounded at this fifth (I believe it is) solo effort by Atkins. Tunes I simply could not get enough of were the title cut "Demon Deceiver", the power-house rocker "Blood, Demons And Whiskey", "Sentenced", the total ass-kicking (an actual Priest song, mind you) "Victim Of Changes" "Cradle To The Grave", "Give Them Hell" and the must-hear "A Void To Avoid". Line-up: Al Atkins - vocals & producer, Johnny Lokke - guitar & vocals, Brian Tatler (Diamond Head) - guitar, Pete Emms - bass and Mick Hales - drums. Truly a lesser-known often over-looked metal gem. Essential.
