JUDAS PRIEST: 'We're All Really Excited About How Great This Record Is Shaping Up'

March 28, 2007

JUDAS PRIEST is currently recording a concept album about the 16th Century French prophet Nostradamus. The band has issued the following update:

"Scott [Travis, drums] has just finished his first stint in the studio [in England] which went incredibly well!! He's flown back to the U.S. now. Rob [Halford] has just arrived over here and will be putting some vocals down. We're all really excited about how great this record is shaping up!!"

In a recent interview with Rockdetector's Garry Sharpe-Young, Rob Halford stated about the upcoming JUDAS PRIEST CD, "It's absolutely massive in its scope. I mean, it really is a very big concept, even possibly a double album. We're all totally into the whole idea and researching the man's life has opened up so many possibilities. Right now Glenn [Tipton] and Ken [K.K. Downing] have all the music written but we have to construct all of that into a meaningful story. It's hugely ambitious but I know the fans will be blown away."

Shockwaves/HardRadio podcast #12 features an interview with Rob Halford. Rob discusses his new Internet label venture Metal God Entertainment, the forthcoming PRIEST concept album and the early years of JUDAS PRIEST. Download the entire 45-minute podcast at this location (21 MB).
