Greece's Rockpages recently spoke with JUDAS PRIEST frontman ROB HALFORD regarding mainly his solo career. Here's an excerpt where the Metal God talks about his wish to record a black metal album in the future:

Q: I was reading something you said last year, that you wanted to do a black metal album...

A: "Yeah!"

Q: Still interested?

A: "I’m still interested... When I talk about these things... These are ambitions and dreams I’ve got. I love that kind of music, I think it’s brilliant! I just wanna see what I can do... I might do one song or two songs, I might do an EP of four songs... It might be absolute dog shit! (big laughs) You’ve got to dive in..."
