Album Information [ edit ]
Angel of Retribution was originally scheduled to be released in late 2004, but the label changed the release date to early 2005, hoping for better sales. Early pressings have the year 2004 printed on the covers. In a descriptive detail about the album, Glenn Tipton explains, «We’ve got a lot of energy. We’re firing on all cylinders and it’s obvious on this album. I think it’s the most natural JUDAS PRIEST album. A lot of people who have listened to it have sa >[9]
Six of the album’s songs have been performed live, with «Hellrider», «Deal With the Devil», «Worth Fighting For» and «Revolution» only appearing on 2005 setlists. «Judas Rising» was also performed in 2005 and returned for the 2011-12 and 2019 tours, and «Angel» being added to the setlist in 2008-9 and then reappearing for a few shows in 2018.
Lyrical references [ edit ]
Within the album, nods to the sound of past albums and songs are found, [2] as well as lyrics that apparently reference earlier songs. The song «Demonizer» references both «The Hellion» from Screaming for Vengeance, as well as «Painkiller» from Painkiller. «Hellrider» mentions the title track of Ram It Down, and «Tyrant» from Sad Wings of Destiny. «Eulogy» references «Stained Class» and «The Sentinel» from the albums Stained Class and Defenders of the Faith, respectively. Finally, «Worth Fighting For» acts as a sequel/prequel to «Desert Plains» from Point of Entry.
The song «Deal With the Devil» can be viewed as an autobiography of Judas Priest, telling their origins from the Black Country of England’s West Midlands, mentioning their transitory days gigging around England and practising at the Church of Holy Joseph in Walsall, which is where Judas Priest was effectively born. «Deal With the Devil» also mentions the song «Blood Red Skies» from Ram It Down and «Take on the World» from Killing Machine.
DualDisc [ edit ]
The album was released on the DualDisc format which had traditional CD content on one side and DVD content on the other side. The DVD side of this album featured a documentary entitled «Reunited» as well as the entire album in an enhanced audio format. In Japan, it was released as a 2-disc set containing Compact Disc audio and DVD video.

All tracks written by Rob Halford, K. K. Downing and Glenn Tipton except where noted [10]
