ATKINS MAY PROJECT's first CD,
"Serpent's Kiss", was released in 2011 via
Gonzo Multimedia. A follow-up effort,
"Valley Of Shadows", came out in 2012.
Atkins is the co-writer of several
PRIEST songs which are included on the band's first two albums,
"Rocka Rolla" and
"Sad Wings of Destiny", both of which eventually went gold.
Atkins co-penned the heavy metal classic
"Victim of Changes", which was a combination of
Rob Halford's song
"Red Light Lady" and
Atkins' own
"Whiskey Woman". He also co-wrote
"Winter",
"Never Satisfied",
"Dreamer Deceiver" and
"Caviar and Meths".
In 1989
Atkins released his debut solo album,
"Judgement Day", to great acclaim. But it was
"Heavy Thoughts" and
"Victim of Changes" (the latter being his collaborative album with ex-
JUDAS PRIEST drummer
Dave Holland) that brought him strong sales and critical acclaim around the world.
JUDAS PRIEST bassist
Ian Hill penned the foreword to
Al Atkins's autobiography, titled
"Dawn of the Metal Gods: My Life in Judas Priest and Heavy Metal". The book, which was written with
Neil Daniels a freelance rock writer and heavy metal fan who befriended
Atkins during the writing of
Neil's book
"The Story Of Judas Priest: Defenders Of The Faith" (
Omnibus Press) was released in 2009 via
Iron Pages.
