The new Holy Rage debut track "Give Them Hell" is now available for listening to on the Holy Rage Myspace and on homepage of Alatkins.com. The track has already been aired in New York and the UK and has had fantastic reviews and feedback. This will become a bonus track on the USA distribution of Demon Deceiver.

The band did a BRILLIANT job in the studio as well as Sheena and Mark at Madhat studios. We hope you enjoy it.

The band had a busy weekend recording our new single titled 'Give them Hell' at Mad Hat Studio's Wolverhampton with the brilliant Mark Stewart and Sheena Seer at the helm.Thanks guy's, it was one of the best songs we have recorded to date and this band is the best line up i've worked with over the last five years.

Chris listening back to his wiggly wiggly stuff.

Al is in there somewhere????

Scott Dallow, thinking "C'mere Boy!!! You dun pissed daddy off, and yer gonna get an ass whoopin!"

Poor Al had enough,,, "Chris, you screw that solo once more and my teeth are goin' through this!"

Chris Johnson my guitarist of 'Holy Rage' took to the airways on Sunday night on Heavy Metal Mahem Radio, New York doing a live interview to 14,000 listeners and on Monday we were both invited to Philip Soloman's WCF Radio station Wolverhampton for another live chat.

More fantastic live photographs to be put in my gallery section too by the brilliant young photographer Richard Ward ,check out his website at 'Classic Rock Photography'.

Oh and a special thanks to Mike Berry for the Holy Rage 'T' shirts which will be available to purchase soon on our myspace site.

We play our local favourite night club 'JB's' Dudley tomorrow night 22nd of Feb to kick things off and then we hit the studio's next week to record some new songs of mine. Next month we play 'The Takeroo' night club at Cannock followed by the 'The Robin 2' appearing with southern rock band 'Skinny Molly' (ex Lynyrd Skynyrd) . In May we head across the pond again for four gigs in New York and later in the summer we have 2 festivals lined up. When more gigs are confirmed we will keep you all updated..........

The band would like to welcome on board some new and exciting endorsements. Mick Hales our new drummer is now being sponsored by 'LIBERTY DRUMS', His drum heads by 'AQUARIAN' and his sticks by 'PELLWOOD'. A Massive thanks to Andy at Liberty and Craig Fenney at Aquarian.

Chris our guitarist is now sponsored by the ball busting 'KUSTOM AMPLIFICATION',USA through the SUPERB local company JHS.

Also we would like to send a special thanks to a new friend Al De-Marco at Rockaholik Music. The band supported the opening of the shop and we would like to wish them all the best in the future. Although Chris would ask Al to not to tempt him into buying anymore STUFF!!!

The gig front is also looking good too with a USA tour being put together for March and four festivals already in the bag for the summer, plus all our local gigs to keep our fans happy. ( WE ARE GETTING READY TO KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS).

After my return from USA I received some bad news for all our fans has Alex Reynolds our drummer for the last two years has decided to quit to concentrate and put more time into the new studio that he has just built.
The band and myself wants to wish him all the best in whatever road he decides to take in the future and say thanks for the big input and contribution he put into The Holy Rage while playing with us.( ALL THE BEST MATE).

On a more positive note.............
Alex's replacement is ex 'Lost Souls', 'Ozzmosis' and 'Dante Fox' drummer Mick (the anvil) Hales.

Mick played all the studio session drumming on my 5th solo album 'Demon Deceiver' and has remained a very close friend to the band over the last couple of years so he was an obvious choice drummer for us. (He is also a fucking awesome drummer).
We start rehearsing this week so we will see you all on the road again soon..........AL.

Holy Rage had yet another great gig the weekend at the Robin 2. This time with an old friend of the band Brian Tatler and Diamond Head. We had a really cool crowd and everyone had a killer night.

Holy Rage are in preparation of recording their DEBUT CD so road work may be a little scattered as the band are busy writing and preparing artwork etc. More details will be announced as and when.

On a side note and personally from Al and the band to our Blabbermouth friends, NO, WE WILL NOT BE RECORDING "VICTIM OF FUCKING CHANGES" ok ? So find something else to wine about which we are sure you will find very easy.

Here are some pics from the Diamond Head gig. Thanks Brian, we really enjoyed it man.

The band and I were saddened to hear about the death of Mel Galley , I met him a couple of times and found him to be a very nice down to earth guy and a very good musician, he will be sadly missed by everyone who new him.

Al, Chris, Alex and Scott send there their sincerest condolences to his family. RIP Mel.

The band played an absolutely GREAT gig at the British Rock and Metal festival at JB's. Many thanks to Steve from Rekuiem for organising a brilliant night.

DAWN OF THE METAL GODS Press release.

Just checkin’ in to let you know where I’m up to on my autobiography. Well, I’m glad to say myself and Neil Daniels have finished the book and it’s in the hands of Iron Pages who I’m sure will do a great job. The book is gonna look fantastic! There’ll be some really cool photos and shots of vintage Priest memorabilia that I’m confident is very rare like a picture of the first ever JUDAS PRIEST recording.

Obviously it’s not all about Priest: I’ll tell you about my old band LION, my travels around Europe and my solo career right up to my latest band THE HOLY RAGE.

And that’s not all because some of my good friends and people I admire have also contributed like Dennis Stratton, Paul DiAnno, Jess Cox, Brian Tatler, Johnny Lokke, Graham Bonnet, Taz Taylor and Simon Lees. Make a visit to http://www.ip-verlag.de/framesetengl.html.

And please take some time to check out Neil’s other books on Judas Priest and Robert Plant at www.neildaniels.com.

For those of you who couldn't make JB's to see our show last week ,we will be appearing there again on the first ever BRITISH ROCK and METAL FESTIVAL on Saturday 28th of June.

It's going to be a great day for all you fucking crazy metal heads out there with ten of the best UK bands playing live starting from 12'oclock midday and ending midnight with the ex 'IRON MAIDEN' man himself 'BLAZE BAILEY'.

We have been given a limited amount of tickets for the show for our fans which we are selling at £10.00 each (sorry no guest list this time) and they are already selling fast. It will be £15.00 on the day but it could sell out so if anyone wants to purchase any go to 'THE HOLY RAGE' myspace site for more details......

See you all at JB's on Sunday 20th of this month for another night of 'Holy Rage'...

The Album 'Demon Deceiver' will be finally released next month in Spain and distributed by 'Goimusic'. Can't wait to go out there now and promote it with the band.
Also in April we hope to see it's release in Japan by Asian Alliance and let's hope it sells as well has my 'Victim of Changes' album did out there.

Also, due to Mike De Jager's commitment to other musical projects he has had to leave the band. Chris Johnson has now taken over all lead guitar duties and we sound as heavy and awesome as ever.
Catch you all at JB's March 25th.

The band had quite an experience traveling across to California for the gig at 'The Knitting Factory'. We had to leave all our equipment at JFK Airport New York due to baggage handlers incompetence so we could catch our connection flight. It didn't turn up until 10 minutes before going on stage the next night.

We must say a big big thank you to all the bands who helped us out especially 'Imagika' and Monster from "Jugulur" who were a great bunch of guys.

Although we had a few setbacks we played a great set and we now can't wait to hook up with Graham Bonnet and the Taz Taylor band again (who headlined) on our European Tour in March.

Also a big thanks goes out to 'Extreme Music' and Dave Grohl (Foofighters) uncle Rob from RG Promotions who took us on a sightseeing trip around Hollywood and L.A. and made it very special.

We met up with 'Skid Row' again at the Rainbow Rooms and must say sorry lads for not partying later but the beer and jet lag had set in.

A Merry Xmas and a Rocking New Year to everyone out there from myself and the gang.

We have all been busy towards the end of 2007 in one way or another, we had a great gig a few weeks ago playing alongside 'Skid Row' to a capacity crowd at our favourite haunt JB's night club.

Mike guested with our old mate (ex Iron Maiden) guitarist Dennis Stratton at Eddie's Reunion Gig at 'The Live Club' in Milan , Italy

Also Chris is now off to play an outdoor 'Hogmany Festival' on New Years eve guesting with crazy rockers 'FUBAR' fronted by our good friend Ronz up in Stonehaven, Scotland. A 20,000 capacity crowd is expected! And a few beers knowing Chris!

It looks set to be a great start for the band in the 2008 with our first gig at 'The Knitting Factory' Hollywood, California on the 4th of January playing alongside Graham Bonnet and the Taz Taylor Band and also USA band 'Imagika'.

We kick off a 6 week UK and European Tour in March again with Graham Bonnet and then in June we go back to USA for an East Coast tour with 'Saxon'.(i will keep you all posted on that.)
Thanks everyone for your support.....AL

After taking a well earned break we finally take to the road again this month starting with opening up for USA rockers 'Skid Row' at 'JB's Nightclub' Dudley on the 25th.
Last month saw me catching up with overdue interviews and adding new sections to the book i am writing with author Neil Daniels. I also went camel riding in the North African desert whilst in Tunisia.

Webmaster says "A Freakin CAMEL RIDE? You BETTER have pics to back that up dude? hahaha"

More exciting gigs are coming in via 'Extreme Music' like the 13th of December at the 'Transylvanian Club' in Milan, Italy . Also we play 'The Knitting Factory' Hollywood Boulevard,California on the 4th of January, playing alongside one of my all time favourite vocalists Graham Bonnet and the 'Taz Taylor Band. Also on the bill is USA band 'Imagika' who we look forward to meeting up with . We also look forward in seeing Neil and Eileen from our endorsers 'Moser Custom Custom Guitars' in California.
Starting in March 2008 we have been asked to guest on a six week European Tour with Graham Bonnet starting with 10 days in the UK taking in Scotland and Ireland then on returning we go back on tour in the USA ''so watch this space.''
AL ATKINS

Neil Daniels - who is co-authoring my autobiography for Iron Pages - has a new website. Go go www.neildaniels.com for information on his books and writing."

He will also like to add Marshall Amplification to the bands endorsements.

Unfortunately Mikey got his JVM first so now Chris is Sulking.

Well done MIke de Jager, * webmaster mutters bastard, I hate him.

We will be heading down to the Marshall shortly to meet Jim and his daughter.

Original JUDAS PRIEST singer AL ATKINS (THE HOLY RAGE) is working on a new autobiography dubbed Dawn Of The Metal Gods: My Life In Judas Priest & Heavy Metal.

"For some time now I have wanted to write my own book about my amazing life in heavy metal," says Atkins. "Finally that dream has come true; after befriending Neil Daniels – a freelance rock writer and heavy metal fan – during the writing of his book The Story Of Judas Priest: Defenders Of The Faith (Omnibus Press) we have come up with some great ideas together. I am going to co-author my autobiography with Neil and it will be published by Iron Pages. It will be called Dawn Of The Metal Gods: My Life In Judas Priest & Heavy Metal. Of course there will be some great stories from my few years in Priest but also, loads of info on the sixties music scene in Birmingham and the West Midlands. I knew bands like SLADE, TRAPEZE and THE BAND OF JOY. I saw CREAM live, befriended BUDGIE and supported ROD STEWART. Also, I was in a band called LION in the late ‘70s and we supported the SEX PISTOLS and THE STRANGLERS. I also have a solo career and have released five albums so far; my new CD is called Demon Deceiver. It should make for an exciting read. There’ll also be loads of photos from the early years of Judas Priest and pictures of ticket stubs, posters, memorabilia, etc. Watch out for it on the book shelves and on the Internet during the second half of 2008!"

As a big thank you to Neal and Earlleen Moser and our really good mate Ronz Greig from MCS guitars Chris Johnson came up with an Idea.

A night of Metal guitar celebration to show off Neal's designs and basically have one hell of a Party.

Thanks to the guys from Mitchell Monster, Sixpounder, Holy Rage and the incredible FUBAR everyone had an really amazing night. The beer flowed and the bands jammed.

The cool thing to come out of the evening was friendship. We all agreed the evening was an incredible event and it seemed we had all known each other for years.

Special thanks go to the FUBAR guys, Ronz, Kenney, Mickey, Steve, Walt and Matt for traveling over 800 miles just to hang with us.

Jim, Gav, Luke, Des and Matt from Sixpounder for helping us with the fun, oh and also a special thanks to Jagermeister for getting most of us hammered.

We have probably 800 pics of the event and a DVD from GuitaristTV. Here are just a few of the evening.

Mike and Joe Satriani at the recent Golden Glass Guitarist TV awards in London.

Joe accepted this prestigious award which was presented to him by GuitaristTV.com's Mike De Jager for his contribution and inspiration to millions of guitarists around the world.

In June 2006 Joe helped launch the world's first broadband guitarsist TV channel on it's maiden voyage and in March 2007 joined Mike and the G-TV team in supporting the BBC and Comic Relief in an effort to raise funds for the world's less fortunate in South Africa and the UK on Red Nose Day.

Renowned glass artist Vic Bamforth, who is based at the Red House Cone in Stourbridge, created the glass award for Joe.

Chris Johnson and his good friend Ronz (MCS Endorser and promoter for Europe) went on a hell of a road trip to the Download Festival. Ronz had been given 2 VIP and onstage passes for the weekend and these guys were planning on having one hell of a party, which they did!!

AL wishes to thank CMM Promotions on the GREAT work they are doing for the band in Germany.
IT'S NOW OFFICIAL.....AL has christened his new band.

From now on they will be called 'THE HOLY RAGE'.

The band are also pleased to announce their new MYSPACE.

Check them out playing 'Metal Tyrant' an old Seven Witches song live at a recent gig.

Al Atkins and Kory Clark backstage at JB's Dudley after another great gig which was given 5 KKKKK's in Kerrang magazine.

Can i just say thanks K.K for your kind words on 'The Classic Metal Show'. Your support for myself has been great over the last 30 years (HA! Yeah right)

As for myself using the Priest name is verging on ridiculous, let me just say (and my memory is still good),It was me who gave you the 'Judas Priest' name in the first place and it was me who co wrote those early songs like Winter , Never Satisfied, and Victim to name a few that helped you get a record deal.
I've never asked you for a thing over all those years and i have respected 'Priest' for all the hard work you have done and the brilliant records you have turned out, show a little respect back please.........AL ATKINS.

We had another great night at JB's night club on Sunday which has now become our residency (thanks Sam).
Our next gig there is on the 21st of March with New York vocalist Kory Klarke and his band 'Warrior Soul', really looking forward to this one.
Another show coming up is with legendary Steve Winwood, just waiting for the date.

Scott Dallow our new bass player came through his debut gig with flying colours and was well recieved by the audience.

Scott is now settling in very well with the band. Good player and a really nice guy. The band want to get him drunk but he just keeps saying no!!!

The night kicked off with KK Downing look alike Mitchell Monster and his solo act of mostly his own songs (not bad for a 13 year old) He has lots of untapped mindblowing talent yet to show.

Second on the bill was 'The Temple Dogs' and what a great set this was and i'm sure we will hear a lot more from this band which includes guitarist Paul May who has played some part or other on all my 5 albums.

My band then topped the night off with our usual heavy rock/metal set list, I was a bit croaky following a rotten cold but i came through the night unscathed but looked a bit battle worn.

We finished the night with Paul and Mitch joining us for our grand finale and the four guitar guitar sound was awesome.

(check out for more in the picture gallery soon).
Also check out the new interview section coming soon.

Al :- "I would personally like to thank Neal and Earlleen Moser and Ronz for endorsing our band, Their guitars are absolutely awsome. The lift they bring to my guitarists is seriously somthing to see, i am still amazed, incredible"

Mike :- "Ronz, I would like to personally thank you for endorsing Al's music and giving me a STUNNING instrument. MCS guitars are simply superb. Chris, I have to say thank you to you for making that happen. Thanks bro."

Chris ;- "Dont thank me Mike, Al and Ronz are to blame! Now can SOMEONE GET ME A DAMN BEER? "

The Al Atkins band are really proud to be the first UK (and as we are so far aware of), the only UK band to be fully endorsed by the INCREDIBLE moser custom shop. Our friend Ronz will correct us if we screwed that up.

Cheers Earlleen, Neal and the our kick ass Scottish bro Ronz. You are the man dude.

My new 5th solo album 'Demon Deceiver' is now available at last and is already getting some early rave reviews from various rock mag's with massive orders coming in worldwide.
It's been a long time putting everything in place with lots of setbacks and that's rock and roll for you but now it all seems worthwhile.
Can i say a big thank you to everyone who supports my band especially Moser Custom Guitars in California who have now endorsed us again for 2007.
My guitarists Mike de Jager from South Africa and Chris Johnson have both received their new axes and are well pleased with them.

Chris recently travelled up to Scotland for a surprise visit to meet up with MCS main European dealer Ronz.
Not only did Chris meet Ronz and his band FUBAR but also jammed with them at a local gig. Chris had a killer time hanging out with these folks and plans on a return visit very soon.

[Left to right. Chris' wife Caz, Walt, Chris, Steve(Mutant), Mickey (at the back), Kenny, and big Ronz himself]

The AL ATKINS Band welcomes on board their new management........ SSG Artist, Management and Publishing company in Finland.

Al would like to say a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to all his fans and friends worldwide.

2006 has had its ups and downs. What with the album being held up for 6 months or more and my mother passing away in May. Also the european dates were put on hold until we could do the promotion of the new album justice.

The plus signs were the band started gigging anyway in the UK and sounded BRILLIANT.

Two weeks ago we saw Pete Emms (our bass player) leave us to concentrate on his Vaseline Rats project and we all wish him all the best and will miss him, but life goes on in his replacement Scott Dallow, also from the UK.

Talking of rats, Scott, Chris, Mick Hales and myself got together last week to sink a few gallons of beer and got TOTALLY rat arsed with Chris falling over a wall. ( He is OK! Nothing damaged but a few more brain cells).

Anyway, keep checking our news throughout January for more news on Scott and a new photo shoot we have arranged for our sponsers Moser Custom Shop.

The great news is the Album is OUT so everything will now start dropping into place and already we have dates coming in and interviews being set up with magazines across Europe.

Unfortunately I do not think Scott will be quite ready for the L.A. Guns gig in January but we cannot wait for 2007 and all it brings.

Al's long awaited CD has now FINALLY been manufactured in Germany for new Swedish label DIESEL AND GLORY and we now look forward to copies of this classic album "DEMON DECEIVER" which features guitarists Brian Tatler (Diamond head), Johnny Lokke (from Kansas USA) and Simon Lees (Budgie).

The band played another great gig last night at JB's nightclub here in the UK and we would like to say a BIG thank you to the support band Hostile who played a storming set and also Mitchell Monster who joined us on our last song. We shall be looking forward to play there again in the new year.

See Al's recent interview at Madhouse Studio's in Birmingham on Mike De Jager's G-TV website in the interviews section. The interview along with many others will be shown on Sky TV Shortly.

Johnny Lokke - Metal News from the Heartland (June 2006). A recent interview with Al.

5 QUESTIONS WITH. is a feature where I ask my friends and influences 5 questions that they don't usually get asked in the usual boring interviews. Last month guitarist Jack Frost stopped by and talked about how he may be working with my friend Al Atkins (http://www.alatkins.com/) on his upcoming tour of North America, so I thought this month we'll talk to Al and see what he has to say. Al and I have been good friends for a while now. He joined me on my cd "The New Breed - Bound by the Thread" and I think our duet "Drown" will also be featured on his upcoming release as well. For those of you who haven't heard of Al, he was vocalist in the original line-up o Judas Priest. He has one of the strongest voice's that I have ever heard, plus he is a really cool cat to boot. Allan Atkins.come on down!

1) What do you say to all those people that ignore the great music you've put out over the years and insist you are still living off of your days in Judas Priest?

What people think is of no importance to me, everyone has an opinion. What I can say though is that I am very proud to have played in such an important band like 'Judas Priest', all be it a long time ago. If these people who knock me had done this I'm sure they would feel the same way as I do. Not only did I form them and sing with them for 4 years, I also wrote songs like 'Victim of Changes' which they still play to this day, so how can I forget I was ever in the band?

3) You've been in thebusiness for some time, but your music is still fresh and relevant. How do you keep re-inventing yourself cd after cd?

I think it's down to playing with different musicians and bouncing ideas off each other. It's surprising what another guitarist's style of playing can maybe influence you to write a song around him alone. A bit like when Scott Travis joined 'Priest' and they wrote Painkiller around his style of drumming.

4) For people that aren't familiar with your solo work, what 5 songs best sum up Allan Atkins?

Mind Conception, Cradle to the Grave, Victim of Changes, Dreamer Deceiver and A Void to Avoid.

5) What cds are making the rotation in your cd player currently?
My tastes vary to my mood:
Children of Bodom.........Are you dead yet
System of a Down.........Mezmerize
Seven Witches...............Amped
Robert Plant....................Mighty Rearranger
and of course............Judas Priest............Rising in the East

Al would like to announce his pleasure in inviting TOP South African Guitarist Mike De Jager for his up and coming tour. Mike is a very old friend of Al's who will appear along side Chris Johnson and Pete "MZ" Emms. Check the band section for pics and updates.

Congratulations go to Pete "MZ" Emms (Al's long time friend and Bass virtuoso) who has also landed an endorsement deal from the fabulous Moser Custom Shop in California. Pete joins Chris Johnson as the first guitarists in the UK to gain this Privilege.

Pete's first comment on his new axe. "This Bass will make grown men run in terror"

AL was interviewed in a film documentary on Monday at 'The Madhouse' in Birmingham. He was interviewed by Roy Jones (ex Shy bass guitarist) and owner of the establishment. They talked about the early years of Rock Music and the beginnings of 'Judas Priest' up to present day modern metal.

Roy and his wife Jackie run 'The Madhouse' which is the top rehearsal place for all rock bands in and around Birmingham. check it out. www.madhouserehearsals.com

Also interviewed on the night were Bob Catley (Magnum), Brian Tatler (Diamond Head) and Pete Way (U.F.O)

Awesome news from Chris Johnson (Al's live guitarist). Chris will now be using a Neal Moser "Bastard BVi-T" guitar on the tour this year thanks to an endorsement from Neal and Earlleen at the stunning Moser Custom Shop in California.

However, Chris has been blessed with a one of a kind all black BVi. The only one on the planet!

OUCH that thing is EVIL!!! you lucky ,,,,hmmm,,, bastard? Please check out Neal's custom shop, you can find him above, and in the links section.

Blake Lewis is an old friend from the USA of Chris Johnson's. He is also a big fan of Al and the band. His soulmate and long time close friend Shanna, an extremely beautiful young woman, was unfortunately involved in a horrific car accident. Every bone in her face was broken and has had to go through some terrible operations and of course the soul killing reality of her injuries.

The good news is she is now well on the mend, although still poorly, Shan is comming on strong and getting back to her old self again.

The band would like to send a personal message of "get well soon" to Shan, we will see you on the road soon, and we are sending you a signed DVD from the guys. All the Best Shan, from Al and the band.

A'ls recent interviev for "Live for Metal" magazine on his top five albums of all time.

"Al Atkins (ex-Judas Priest, solo artist)

“This is a tough one to ask but my favourite top five I suppose are very predictable. “To me Black Sabbath’s Paranoid was the first heavy metal album and was a bench mark for all to follow. Judas Priest’s Unleashed was what Judas did best, which was live, and this album summed them up. Can I count Queens of the Stone Age as a heavy metal band? I love this album.”

1. Black Sabbath - Paranoid
2. Judas Priest – Unleashed in the East
3. Metallica - Master of Puppets
4. Diamond Head – Livin’ on Borrowed Time
5. Queens of the Stone Age – Songs for the Deaf"

Al Says the meeting up with old friend Jack Frost (guitarist for The Seven Witches) at the NAMM exibition proved to be a good result when he offered to play in Al's band if Al plays the US again. Al has since got back to him to say that he has been asked to play 'The Voices of Metal' festival in Mexico to be confirmed in May or June 2006. They will be playing songs from Al's new album 'Demon Deceiver' plus a couple of Witches songs.

Al says he is sorry for the delay of the of his album but he changed his mind on the record company at the last minute and has now signed over to 'D and D' Music and Merchandise in Sweden.

After a well earned break to carry on with his book "Dawn of the metal gods" Al is back in the frame to visit the NAMM at the Anaheim Convention Center. NAMM this year was extremely successful and Al says he met many wonderful people and had a really great time along with his friend and Bass player Pete (MZ) Emms. Here are a few pics of the visit.

I don't think heavy / rock / metal music leads to violence, it's always down to an idiotic individual. I don't remember John Lennon ever writing or singing heavy / rock or metal music and look what happend to him. God rest their souls.
