Former ACCEPT frontman David Reece says that he was high on the list of candidates when JUDAS PRIEST was looking for a new vocalist to fill the massive shoes of Rob Halford in the early 1990s. “I was in Tennessee, and I hadn’t fully retired yet, ’cause I had obligations before I decided to retire,” Reece recalled in a new interview with “Waste Some Time With Jason Green” (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “I’m on the phone with [PRIEST co-manager] Jayne Andrews every two days.

UK noise rock act Thank have announced their debut full-length album, Thoughtless Cruelty. The band also shared the lead single “Good Boy” ahead of the LP’s February 4th release date. Not for the faint of heart, Thank unleash a three-minute torrent of abstract expression. Unhinged dance beats clash with the equally unhinged vocals of Freddy Vinehill-Cliffe, whose delivery bears similarities to Daughters’ Alexis Marshall. The band manages to create an art-rock cacophony that’s as anxious as it is captivating.
