March 28, 2007JUDAS 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."
