With Judas Priest's 2008 Nostradamus record still leaving a sour taste in fans' mouths, Rob Halford says the new one will be much better. Apparently so much so that we'll be "thrilled" with it.
Speaking to Billboard magazine, Halford offered this take on the new Judas Priest record:
"The writing process is complete. Now it’s the painstaking work of making sure that you get every single note, every single nuance of the vocal, every tiny aspect…right. We’re still tracking (instruments). It’s just a very laborious but enjoyable part of making the record.”
"It’s heavy. It’s something we think our Priest fans will be thrilled with. We know we have a reputation to maintain, and we know we have to deliver something really strong and solid. The album is going to be full of all the great things you love about Judas Priest — I don’t think I can say anything more than that without being hung, drawn and quartered."
I love Judas Priest as much as the next guy, and while I'm actually a fan of everything the band did in the 90s and 2000s, let's just face the fact that Painkiller is the last absolutely sick thing the band did. I like that Halford doesn't want to hype the record too much and disappoint as well, which makes me think it'll be amazing… because hey, modesty is always a good sign, right? Let's assume the record will be out sometime in 2014 and go from there.
