Judas

Fronted by pro wrestler Chris Jericho, Fozzy deliver a modern hybrid of heavy metal and hard rock perfectly designed for the summer festival circuit. The band’s seventh album is stuffed with polished arena anthems (“Painless”), nu-metal grooves (“Capsized”), porno-funk guitar (“Weight of My World”), booze-soaked party jams (“Drinkin with Jesus”), and electronically enhanced beats (“Running with the Bulls,” “Elevator”), while the searing leads of Stuck Mojo guitarist Rich Ward lend a dirty, Southern feel to the proceedings.
