Judas Priest formed in 1969 and band members have come and gone. Founding member Ian Hill will drive the bass for yet another album release scheduled for March of 2024, fifty years from the release of the first album in 1974. While that first album didn’t come anywhere close to “charting” it did include Rob Halford on vocals. Halford didn’t stay with the band for its long run, he left in the mid-90s and rejoined Judas Priest in 2003.
On October 13th, Judas Priest released the first single, “Panic Attack”, from the upcoming album, Invincible Shield. The driving sound is classic and rebellious heavy metal. The band’s website announced the album will be released on 8 March 2024.
The band, with Halford, comes alive and starting on March 11th in Glasgow, UK, the band will tour for British fans with Saxon and Uriah Heep before crossing the Atlantic for a tour in the United States from mid-April to early May 2024. The band will bring to the States another MoshPlayLive favorite, Sabaton.
Maine was the first homebase for MoshPlayLive and the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine will host Judas Priest on Wednesday, April 24th.
