When Good and Evil Collide - Original Judas Priest Vocal Legend Al Atkins
and Christian Guitarist Paul May Release 'Atkins / May Project - Serpent's Kiss'
11/17/2011 - London, UK - The rock world is buzzing with proof that good and
evil can in fact work together in the form of former Judas Priest vocal legend
and Holy Rage heavy metal frontman Al Atkins and Christian guitarist and music
artist Paul May. Together these extreme opposites combine creating a powerful
new CD called 'Serpent's Kiss', now available on Gonzo Multimedia. The 10-track
album is the product of two of the Midlands finest architects of rock and metal
coming together to create something that is unique and totally exhilarating!
There are enough doses of melody and metal madness to entice all fans of the
genre, and while it is solid, honest working class heavy metal, it also has its
roots in contemporary metal with some fine axe-work and killer choruses. The
cover art for 'Serpent's Kiss' is also unique as it was created by world famous
fantasy artist Rodney Matthews.
Al Atkins: More noted for forming UK's Judas Priest and fronting them for four
years and laying down the foundations which would see them eventually selling 40
million albums worldwide. He also wrote songs for them which went gold like
"Dreamer Deceiver", "Never Satisfied", "Winter", "Caviar and Meths" and Priest's
all time classic "Victim of Changes". Al's unique powerful vocal style sites
influences by noted rock singers Roger Daltrey, Paul Rodgers and longtime friend
Robert Plant. Al has done countless radio and TV interviews worldwide and
recently was filmed for BBC TV 'British Heritage' and 'Banger Films' Canada for
the metal evolution series on VH1. He has even written a book on his musical
life about growing up in Birmingham, UK alongside Robert Plant and Black Sabbath
called 'Dawn of the Metal Gods'. Al has released 6 solo albums to date, toured
the US twice, and has worked with Brian Tatler (Diamond Head), Dave Holland
(Judas Priest), Dennis Stratton (Iron Maiden) and Bernie Torme (Ozzy/Gillan). Al
recently released a new self titled album with his offshoot band Holy Rage and
has now teamed up with brilliant Christian writer/guitarist Paul May and
recorded an album called 'Serpent's Kiss', which Al says are the best recordings
to date!
Paul May: Some people learn to play guitar, Paul was born (again) to play
guitar! Paul has become respected for his passionate, soulful guitar work and
noted for his explosive and exciting solos. As a world class professional
guitarist and songwriter, Paul has played and recorded sessions across the
globe, touring and playing throughout the UK, Europe, USA and the Eastern block.
Paul appears on around 50 albums to date, featured in both the secular and
Christian arenas. Paul is also a record producer and has covered the entire
spectrum of musical tastes in production. Paul has played, recorded with and
produced alongside the bands and members of: Al Atkins (Judas Priest), Dave
Holland (Judas Priest), Roy Wood (Move, ELO, Wizard), Jon Brooks (The
Charlatans), Smokin Roadie/Tempest, MC5, V-Rats, Janus, A.N.D, Dave Rowley Band,
Larry Norman and many others. Along with working with Al Atkins, Paul currently
plays guitar with A.N.D and Temple Dogs.
"Working with Paul May on the 'Serpent's Kiss' album was a fantastic journey,"
says Al. "From the opening song 'The Shallowing' to the last song 'Theatre of
Fools', it was an honor to have been asked by the brilliant guitarist Paul May
to put this project together... Without a doubt this is one of the best albums I
have appeared on since my early days with Judas Priest and that says something
having written and recorded several of my own works."
"This album was meant to be," explains Paul. "When Al agreed to do the vocals it
inspired me to write specific tracks tailored for his voice. Not only did Al
deliver in abundance, he did so with world class! It's what I'd call a 'Classic
Hard Rock/Metal' album; that covers a wealth of subject matters and life
experiences. It's all rock 'n' roll! And a real triumph to me in so many ways. I
just feel blessed! To again, be involved with such a great vocalist and friend
and end up with such a cracking album is a gift indeed - rock on!"
