Only the video folks,only the video.Awesome music,shitty video.Well the trailer really.I mean this is frigging Judas Priest brother!When it’s Priest,you expect everything they do to kick plenty of ass.I mean plenty.Yes the music kicks ass but the video,I mean the video trailer-is very “3D MAX” in an obvious way.It doesn’t hurt when SlipKnot does it, but it hits you right where it hurts most when Judas Priest does it.

It starts with that blaster of a tune-the orchestral music,Nostradamus’ face zooming out of the background that has some weird ass scribblings on it-you know you are going to love this one,and just about when you reach the orgasm,some shitty looking “3D MAX” oriented dude with a gas mask(yeah dude,a frigging Gas Mask!) pops up,and you are like “Shit!”

Seriously-Dragons,Mammoths,loads of Fire-it’s all awesome shit but it’s bloody surprising that Priest couldn’t find a decent guy to do the PC work for them!And it’s plain fucking weird when an army of tanks appear out of nowhere!I mean Unicorns and Tanks?What do they share in common?Even the fire looks very artificial-artificial in the obvious way,the shitty way,the “Toy Story” way,the “Warner Bros” way,the “Blow Job” way…..

Ok,I know I am gonna get some ratty comments here,but watch the video please before you comment.

I know the music obviously kicks a shit load of ass and Halford sounds more awesome than ever on Nostradamus-the title track which was released some time back.And I am so totally waiting for the album to come out.But honestly,you gotta know-when you are doing something under the name of fucking Judas Priest-people expect an “A” attached to it,a huge fucking “A” attached to it-even if it’s the trailer video!

I am repeating this-the music is bloody awesome and Judas Priest will always be Judas fucking Priest.(Click here to open the video in a new window,and here to buy Nostradamus on Amazon)
