Get stoked! Heavy Metal legends JUDAS PRIEST are hard at work on their seventeenth album. Here is an update from the "God Of Metal", Rob Halford, who told VH1 Radio Network's Dave Basner what the fans can expect.
"We have all the songs in our heads running right now as we're speaking to you, we can hear them. It's coming along really well. We're in no rush. It'll be ready when it's ready. What we
will say is we felt it was very important to follow up 'Nostradamus',
the last release, and that was a concept experiment and it was a real
success for us and the fans loved it, but I think our fans and ourselves
as a band, we want to get back to the side of PRIEST that we haven't heard for a few years and reemphasize and remake those big, Heavy Metal statements again."
As for when you will listen to a NEW PRIEST album, Halford made it clear that he and his bandmates aren't going to set dates for themselves.
"I
think that's the best way to approach it, because it would be wrong to
say, 'On this date, at this moment, the record is coming out.' But
where we're at now, we're very, very confident and, going out on a limb,
I would say that we should have it wrapped up by the end of this year.
We're forging ahead and everything's looking good, and yeah, it's
looking right. So in the not-too-distant Metal future, there will be
new PRIEST to listen to."
There you have it folks! JUDAS PRIEST is far from "retiring", despite their "epitaph" tour. The bands 'Epitaph' concert DVD and Blu-ray is now available worldwide! More info HERE! Related links: Judas Priest's official site
The day has arrived, Judas Priest's 'Epitaph' concert DVD and Blu-ray is now available worldwide!
The concert movie was filmed in London in celebration of the bands 40th anniversary, and was directed by Brickwall's Alex Walker and sound engineered by Richard Kayvan and Tom Allom, the mastermind behind countless seminal Metal records. "Getting to work with a band that was among the very first I actually bought albums of as a kid was just amazing", said director Alex Walker.
The band has released a live version of their song "Rapid Fire" in order to offer their legions of fans a taste of 'Epitaph'. Watch it here:
The film has already been released in movie theaters across the U.S., U.K., Canada, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Spain, Bulgaria, Estonia, Romania, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Central America, with many more to follow.
