Featured in a new interview with Radio Futuro, Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford discussed the band’s 2024 album, Invincible Shield. The record is widely regarded as one of the best albums of Judas Priest’s career.
Halford: “It’s extraordinary. There is no other band out there in metal that is making these kinds of statements, and we bring that type of philosophy with ourselves. We’re always thinking about the best way to represent Judas Priest at this particular moment in time because just recently we celebrated the 50th anniversary of Rocka Rolla, (released) in 1975, and here we are decades later with Invincible Shield and the metal treasure trail of music, all those albums. We’re always trying to make the best metal that we can make, and I think every band would say that, which is what you should say. But in terms of the songwriting and the performance and the attitude of the guys and the production, Invincible Shield was probably as close to an important statement since Painkiller that I can remember.”
