Sounds like Rush’s Tom Sawyer.
I agree, Dana, it really does!
Yes Dana it is very Tom Sawyerish! But it excited me for some reason. It’d be nice to get something different from Priest. Not necessarily Turbo different but off the beaten path a little while still being heavy and riff centric! Maybe this will be it!
