JUDAS PRIEST Taking A Break From Touring

April 29, 2010

JUDAS PRIEST's management has issued the following update:

"JUDAS PRIEST are taking a break from touring this year — they need time to recharge their batteries having just recently finished a two year world tour in Japan at the end of 2009. They will, of course, be promoting the release of 'British Steel - 30th Anniversary' which is due out in May 2010.

"Watch out for the PRIEST machine, which will be rolling out again touring the world in 2011 and 2012! The band will be back at a venue near you pounding out their special brand of classic metal as ferociously as ever!"

Long considered one of heavy metal's all-time classic albums, "British Steel" (originally released in 1980) spawned such PRIEST classics as "Breaking the Law" and "Living After Midnight", and is pound for pound arguably one of PRIEST's strongest and most potent recording from front to back.

"British Steel 30th Anniversary" will be made available as two different versions — one that will be available online and in stores, as well as one that will be sold exclusively through the group's site (which features the "British Steel" CD and the live DVD, as well as a CD which is the "audio counterpart" of the DVD — minus one track).
