"It's just simple, straight to the point," explains guitarist Glenn Tipton. "It's not really a song about zombies or the walking dead. It also has a reference to the all the kids that come to our concerts that march along and can't be stopped. And so it's not Judas Priest and the audience � with all the anthems we've done and all the singing the audience does, it's one in the same thing."

Due July 15 in North America, "Redeemer Of Souls" will be issued in a standard version and a deluxe edition with five bonus tracks. The project marks guitarist Richie Faulkner's studio debut with Priest; he replaced founding member K.K. Downing following his retirement in 2011.
