Entiseltä Judas Priestin rumpalilta Les Binksilta uusi yhtye Les Binks Priesthood

Kirjoittanut Arto Mäenpää - 25.4.2018

Englantilaisen heavy metal -legenda Judas Priestin entinen rumpali Les Binks on perustanut uuden Judas Priestin kappaleita soittavan yhtyeen Les Binks Priesthoodin. Yhtyeen tarkoituksena on soittaa materiaalia Judas Priestin kolmelta albumilta, jossa Binks soitti: ”Stained Class”, ”Hell Bent For Leather” sekä ”Unleashed In The East”. Binks on kertonut tuoreessa haastattelussa bändistään seuraavaa:

”I’ve been working with these musicians individually in various settings over the past few years in live performances and often had audiences ask for PRIEST songs because of my association with band. So I decided to put my own band together specifically to play the material from my era with JUDAS PRIEST and, naturally, I called upon their services to help me achieve that.”

Les continued: ”I wanted to focus on the material from four albums, beginning with ’Sin After Sin’. Although I didn’t play on it, I was recruited to tour and perform the songs live to promote the record in the U.K., U.S.A. and Japan. My first studio album, ’Stained Class’, which saw me contribute to the writing with ’Beyond The Realms Of Death’, my second studio album, ’Killing Machine’, re-titled ’Hell Bent For Leather’ in the States, and ’Unleashed In The East’, the live-in-Japan album. Initially, it was just for a one-off gig at the ’Legends Of Rock’ event held in Great Yarmouth each March, but we seemed to have created a lot of interest in the band and have been encouraged to play more dates, festivals, etc.”
