We caught up with Rob Halford on the red carpet of the 3rd Annual Ronnie James Dio Awards on Monday (March 17) in Los Angeles. The Judas Priest singer was on hand to receive the Man on the Silver Mountain Award for helping to raise awareness of the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund.
In addition to talking about his late friend Ronnie James Dio and his rendition of the Rainbow’s ‘Man on the Silver Mountain’ for the new Dio tribute album ‘This Is Your Life,’ Halford dropped some big news to us about the upcoming Judas Priest album.
When we asked him about progress on the new disc, he gave us a very definitive answer: “The Priest album is finished. It’s done. I just heard from the mastering sessions that [guitarist] Glenn [Tipton is] looking over in England, it’s finished. It’s done. It’s coming out at some point. We’ve got some more information we’re about to drop but in the process of the magic of building up expectation and tension to the climax.”
Upon hearing that news, we had to ask Halford about the direction of the album, and he gave us a very short but very awesome answer. “It’s f—ing heavy,” he exclaimed.
So start getting excited for the new Judas Priest album, and stay tuned for the rest of our red carpet interview with Rob Halford from the 3rd Annual Ronnie James Dio Awards.

Keen as hell for this album.

 

[Lynch]

I am SO stoked for this album.




Just listened to Screaming and Defenders a little while ago, which makes me even more pumped up for this.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

^ Yeah, I hope it's a return to form. Nostrodamus had some great moments, but was too F--ing long.

Angel of Retribution was a great album, and of course everything else they ever did.

 

[Riff Raff]

Nostradamus was a great album albeit a grower but you have to remember it is a concept album that was bound to be experimental by their standards.

 

[Sharp Dressed Man]

I really liked "Nostradamus", but also agree that it was too long. I can't remember the last time I sat through the whole album - probably within the first weeks of the release. Generally I do not listen to as much Priest as I used to, but I'm definitely looking forward to a new album from them.

Nostradamus was a great album albeit a grower but you have to remember it is a concept album that was bound to be experimental by their standards.

Typically great Priest no doubt. But when a band shoehorns themselves into a concept album and then makes it 2 discs, it can get to be a little too much.

 

[Sox]

Buzzin' news I'll be keeping an eye out for release dates.

 

[Sweaty]

And me

Typically great Priest no doubt. But when a band shoehorns themselves into a concept album and then makes it 2 discs, it can get to be a little too much.

It is an album not everyone can get into given its a double album and it is a more experimental sound for them but its a grower over time. Not as bad as people make it out to be. Turbo, Ram it Down and Demolition were vastly worse.
