"Battle Cry is a classic Priest song," explains guitarist Richie Faulkner. "You're summoning your armies to go into battle � that's what this band has been about for me - that we're all warriors in metal."

Due July 8 in North America, "Redeemer Of Souls" will be issued in a standard version and a deluxe edition with five bonus tracks. The project marks Faulkner's studio debut with Priest; he replaced founding member K.K. Downing following his retirement in 2011.
