November 6, 2012 - London, UK - The rock
world is buzzing with the revelation that good and evil can continue to work
together in the form of former Judas Priest vocal legend and heavy metal
frontman Al Atkins and Christian guitarist and
music artist Paul May. Together these extreme
opposites have come together once again to create a powerful new CD called 'Valley Of Shadows', now available on Gonzo
Multimedia. Here once again, the men from the “Black Country” have produced
an album of outstanding quality straight from the “Home of Metal”! This
excellent collection of songs sees Atkins deliver some stand out vocal
performances and May shred the axe like the old guitar masters.'Valley Of Shadows' offers 10 “killer” tracks that burst with melody and metal mayhem. You'll take a journey through what seems to be an “evolution” of rock. With all the elements of “classic” hard rock and metal, yet retaining an underlying progressive core, 'Valley Of Shadows' will not disappoint fans of the genre who decide to take the ride!
Says Al Atkins, “We have kept the same
format for 'Valley Of Shadows' since it worked really well for our debut album
'Serpent's Kiss', so we thought why change a winning formula.” Paul May
adds, “I think the new album definitely leans more towards that 'classic
rock' feel, with some modern twists thrown in for good measure, retaining its
metal edge.”Al Atkins: Noted for forming UK's Judas Priest and fronting them for four years and laying down the foundations which would see them eventually selling 40 million albums worldwide. He also wrote songs for them which went gold like “Dreamer Deceiver”, “Never Satisfied”, “Winter”, “Caviar and Meths” and Priest's all time classic “Victim of Changes”. Al's unique powerful vocal style sites influences by noted rock singers Roger Daltrey, Paul Rodgers and longtime friend Robert Plant. Al has done countless radio and TV interviews worldwide and recently featured in the BBC TV 'British Heritage'. He has even written a book on his musical life about growing up in Birmingham, UK alongside Robert Plant and Black Sabbath called 'Dawn of the Metal Gods'. Al has released 6 solo albums to date, and teamed up with brilliant Christian writer/guitarist Paul May to record their critically acclaimed debut album 'Serpent's Kiss'.
