Remember when Judas Priest hung up their hats for good in 2011?

“It’s not exactly the end of the band; it’s just the fact that we won’t really be doing any more world tours. In general, this is probably the last chance you’ll get to see Priest live.” – Glen Tipton, 2011

7 years and a handful of tours later, Judas Priest rides again. Promising us their 18th studio album, ‘Firepower’, by March. And with it? Plenty of thrash. Scroll down for a 15 second clip of ‘Firepower’.

The guys plan on launching a spring tour to coincide with the new album. Closest stop? Milwaukee 4/3.

Judas Priest has also been nominated for the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame for 2018. Things are looking up for the band. Out with the old, in with the new.
