Judas Priest’s Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, and Richie Faulkner were interviewed by VH1’s Ben Smith and they discussed their future, the Epitaph farewell tour, and their new album Redeemer Of Souls. (Warning: Video may not be available in certain regions). To read the interview visit VH1.com.

Judas Priest will release their new album, Redeemer Of Souls, on July 15th in North America. Glenn Tipton comments on the current status and future of Judas Priest: “The band has definitely been re-energized. It’s great when you get an album like this one under the belt, which we are all very proud of and we are all excited by. We love the songs. It gives you a whole new outlook and a whole new angle; you are coming from a different place. Things have turned around for sure.”

Glenn also talks about the 2011 statement that there would be no more world tours: “We did state that back then that at the time it was our last world tour. It takes a big chunk out of your life. We never said we wouldn't do any dates. It was never the end of us playing live, it was just the end of the massive world tour. It can be quite draining and certainly time-consuming but we've been reenergized since then. We've got a great new album under our belt and it is exciting to think of playing the numbers off this album mixed with Judas Priest classic songs, so things have changed a bit but we weren't lying at the time when we made that statement. If we start the tour and absorb the songs, we really love

the songs. Who knows what's around the corner?”
