50 years after their debut album, Judas Priest returns strongly to the scene with “Invincible Shield”. On April 1 they will play with Saxon and Uriah Heep in the Wiener Stadthalle. Frontman and “Metal God” Rob Halford took the time to talk to us about the new work, his candid autobiography and heavy metal as a peacemaker.
Heart attacks, emergency operations or Parkinson’s disease – the heavy metal flagship Judas Priest, who has stood proudly at the Stromgitarrensee for 55 years, has had to go through a lot in recent years. The steelsmiths from industrial Birmingham stand for honest, handcrafted and down-to-earth music like no other band, which inspires an audience of millions worldwide and made the combo the most important for the entire genre next to their eternal national rivals Iron Maiden. With the brilliant work ‘Firepower’ from 2018, they achieved another fiery manifesto in the late autumn of their career, which many fans even compared to the band’s magnum opus, the 1990s masterpiece ‘Painkiller’. The pandemic forced the winds of yet another spring to slow down. So it took more than six years before new sound material finally saw the light of day with “Invincible Shield”.
