Judas Priest tease new album 2020-02-04 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 13 Comments | Judas Priest's guitarist Richie Faulkner tweeted a picture of him with metal gods Rob Halford and Glenn Tipton in studio, with the following message "Giving birth to new metal babies. #judaspriest writing sessions 2020 with grand master Tipton and the Mg RHRF DOTF #forgingthesteel".

In January Richie Faulkner stated he had "a ton of ideas," adding: "We just have to get together and see what metal magic we can create".
Priest's new album succeeds the acclaimed Firepower, which reached the No. 5 position on the Billboard 200 chart, making it Judas Priest's highest-charting release of all time.
Metal God Rob Halford recently commented to Goldmine:
"had one of the strongest experiences ever with the 'Firepower' record. Just when you think you've not exactly done it all, seen it all and had it all, you go into the studio with this great producer combination that we've never known, and the great music that Richie brought into the mix after he first kind of embedded himself and grown during Redeemer Of Souls. By the time we were at Firepower, it really jelled and he knew what he needed to do. 'Redeemer' was still a process of discovery for him. With Firepower, he was more attuned and acclimatized to it". Halford continued: "The general attitude and atmosphere was a bit like how we went in to making Painkiller, which was an important record to make for lots of reasons. The way that Painkiller was able to really refine and define this band, I think we came to the same kind of place again with the music from Firepower. And this far on, that was just a great, great time for the band — it's really lifted us in many ways. As a result, the prospect of making the follow-up to Firepower is really intriguing. I haven't a clue where we're going to go with it, but as far as the opportunity in the sense of really wanting to make another strong, important record goes, you know, watch out — the PRIEST will definitely be back."

I'm curious to see if they can keep the high caliber shown in Firepower. It would be interesting if the album came out heavier.

Great news!
| | |
Stoked!! Firepower was great, can't wait to see what they will do next

Hope they keep Sneap around as a producer, pretty much anything he touches is golden.

If they have any sense, they will. Seems very much to be expected given that he's been replacing Tipton on tour, becoming more than their producer.
I did not expect a follow-up to Firepower anytime soon, possibly ever, but it sounds like things are very much in the early stages anyway. Here's hoping they can deliver similar quality, because that album was a very, very nice surprise.

Have a little faith in the metal gods Nagrarok ;) I have the feeling Richie has written plenty of songs already.

I think you misunderstood me, I felt it might turn out to be their last because of Tipton's health, and it would have been a very nice one to end with, too. That's not to say I didn't hope for more ;)

My bad mate, yeah I misunderstood your point. Tipton's health is indeed worrying, and he will probably only be back on stage in a few shows (as happened on the last tour). I think at this point creativity will be left to Richie, with Halford's supreme approval.

He's pregnant

Hope it's as good as Firepower. Priest needs to go out with a bang.
| | |
