Episode #304 of the Iron City Rocks Podcast features guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner of the legendary Judas Priest.

“Glenn and Richie talk to us about the release of their latest live release, Battle Cry. We discuss putting together the set-list, gear, filming the show, and even the the band playing in bell-bottoms.”

Tune in at this location.

In mid-April, Judas Priest updated their Facebook page with two new photos of vocalist Rob Halford, along with guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner, in an undisclosed recording studio - presumably working on new material for the follow-up to the band's 2014 album Redeemer Of Souls.

The photos, which can be seen below, were accompanied by the caption: "Making metal on #‎metalmonday!! @robhalfordlegacy @falconfaulkner #‎glenntipton #‎judaspriest #‎priestfamily"

 

 

On March 25th, Judas Priest released Battle Cry. Recorded live on August 1st, 2015 at Germany's Wacken Festival in front of an audience of 85,000 people, Battle Cry is available on a 15-track CD, with the entire show on Blu-Ray and DVD (running over 94 minutes), as well as digital audio and video formats.
