JUDAS PRIEST Frontman ROB HALFORD - "The Bulk Of The Work That We've Made Over The Years Has Been A Labor Of Love"

Legendary Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford recently spoke with Shawn SixX at Boston's WZLX about the band's and his own longevity, and their forthcoming album. Check out the interview below. In addition, check out Halford's interview with BraveWords' own Metal Tim Henderson here.

Judas Priest are streaming the live version of “Rock You All Around The World” (listen below) from the reissue of their tenth studio album, Turbo. The album has been remastered and was released via Sony Music on February 3rd on 3CD (the original album and two bonus discs) as well as 1LP 150g vinyl.

Originally released in 1986, Turbo features all the hallmarks of classic Priest on tracks such as “Turbo Lover”, “Parental Guidance” and “Locked In”. Included on disc two and three of the CD reissue is, previously unreleased, Live in Kansas City, a live recording from the band’s 1986 Fuel For Life tour in support of Turbo.

Says the band: “The ’80’s is considered to have been the best decade for heavy metal - Judas Priest roared through it and at the half way point went into unchartered territory with Turbo. Always believing that metal should have no boundaries, Priest challenged themselves taking on board new technical inventions to create fresh ideas and push their sound forward. The combined songs show another side of Priest’s range of creativity that captures a theme and energy infused with the over the top sensibilities of that era. The Fuel For Life tour certainly encapsulated the decadence of the times! Turbo remastered and accompanied by a pedal to the metal live recording from Kansas reveals Priest on high octane - Raising fists and devil horns to the next level.”
