Angel of Retribution, the fifteenth Judas Priest album, came out in 2005 and marked a homecoming: it was the first record with Rob Halford since Painkiller in 1990. Back with Glenn Tipton, K. K. Downing, Ian Hill and Scott Travis, Halford sounds like a man reclaiming his throne, all air-raid screams over twin-guitar thunder. Roy Z produced it and also co-wrote "Deal with the Devil".
The reunion paid off. It debuted at number 13 on the Billboard 200, making it the band's fourth-highest-charting album in the US, and it won Best Album at the 2005 Metal Hammer awards. Readers of Japan's Burrn! magazine voted it Best Album of the Year, and gave it Best Album Cover too.
