Marzi Montazeri issued the following statement: \u201cA while ago I was asked to play a couple of solos on the Judas Priest tribute album Hell Bent Forever<\/em> (2008) and the track was, \u2018Exciter\u2019. When I arrived, Tim was walking out of the vocal booth for the evening. I was blown away by his performance and personality. He\u2019s a super-cool and funny dude. So when it came to this EP where I knew I wanted a powerful metal vocalist, I just made a call to him and here we are with some original music.\u201d<\/p>\n
