ROB HALFORD ON JUDAS PRIEST'S UPCOMING INVINCIBLE SHIELD ALBUM - "OVER 50 YEARS LATER WE'RE STILL FULL OF IDEAS, STILL FULL OF INSPIRATION TO KEEP MAKING NEW METAL"
Judas Priest will release their new album, Invincible Shield, on March 8 via Sony Music. In a new interview with Alan Ovington, frontman Rob Halford talks about the new release.
Asked when did the idea or the inspiration for the album first come about, Halford reveals, "Well, the great thing about Priest, over 50 years later, is that we're still full of ideas, still full of inspiration to keep making new metal. This is what we do. We love the opportunity of getting together as a band and creating new metal experiences, so, it's always been there, it's always been within our DNA to keep making metal, and that's what we intend to do."
Listen to the interview below:
Over the past 50 years Judas Priest have sold over 50 million albums worldwide and headlined the world’s biggest stages. With their evolving music and live performances also came a powerful unique identity, a look which has both defined the group and influenced future generations of metal bands the world over. With each year, the Judas Priest legend continues to grow; 2022 saw them inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and complete a sold-out rescheduled world tour in support of their 50th Anniversary. As we roll into 2024, Judas Priest continue to retain their crown as one of the biggest and best British bands in the world.
