Fozzy on the ‘Judas Tour’ - November 1st 2017.

On October 17th 2017 Fozzy realised their long-awaited album ‘Judas.’

It was a huge jump from the 90s, with Fozzy covering mediocre songs with their first and self-titled album.

The new album was very mixed, giving the band a varied, but brilliant voice.

‘Judas’ proved that the band has changed drastically in the 20 years since their debut, and they still have the flare that is needed for the music industry.

As well as Fozzy’s change, the band’s front man Chris Jericho has taken months out of his WWE career to create an amazing image for him and the band.

The first song of the album was called Judas, which helped to give the album its title.

The song Judas was a hit, and it featured many different beats through out, and had a catchy chorus.

These elements helped to see the song make it into the charts, and see the song being used within the massive company WWE, and on popular Podcasts published by WWE.

Out of 11 songs on the album, only two (Painless and Drinkin with Jesus) shared memorable choruses and the dramatic background music like that of ‘Judas’.

The rest of the album was more forgettable, with a constant heavy metal feel and with repetitive lyrics filled with sexual tension and inner demons.

The bands inspiration could be heard throughout the album, with the same heavy metal sound and loudspeaker lyrics of Metallica, Scorpions and Ozzy Osbourne.
