July 20, 2007, 17 years ago
UK metal legends JUDAS PRIEST have issued the following update:
"All is going really well with the new album - Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing are working on their guitar parts - all of the guys are going to take a short summer break then will re-group to get back to working on the album!"Judas Priest are working on their upcoming concept album about the life and predictions of 16th-century French prophet Nostradamus. Downing told BW&BK; recently that the album will contain "18 songs clocking in at over and hour and a half."
About the release date, frontman Rob Halford told BW&BK;: “I think the reality would be sometime next year... Just looking at what there’s left to do because of the scope of it. It’s not just ten to twelve different songs. It all has to be really really thought out properly and you can’t afford to let anything escape you because once it’s done and released – you can’t go back. It’s that ‘it’ll be ready when it’s ready’ vibe you know. We’re in that comfortable world now whereas years ago we were on strict time schedules where we had to get a record out at a specific time and we had to tour at a specific time. Now, we’re in a different place and it’ll take as long as it takes basically.”
