Sound the alarms, crack open a cold one, and tell the neighbours to brace themselves… because the Metal Gods are back at it again 😈🍺
Yep — Judas Priest have officially started working on their TWENTIETH studio album, and somehow, against all laws of time, age, and common sense… they’re still absolutely unstoppable.
🎤 “I Probably Shouldn’t Say This…” (…too late now, mate 😂)
In a cheeky slip during an interview with The Metal Voice, riff machine Richie Faulkner let the cat out of the bag like a man who knew exactly what he was doing.
The band?
Already been in the studio.
For a full month.
Back in February.
Yeah… this isn’t just talk — this thing is already cooking 🔥
Faulkner kept things mysterious, saying they were “laying the foundation” for the next record.
FOUNDATION?!
If this is just the groundwork, we’re about to get a full-blown metal fortress built out of riffs, leather, and pure chaos 🤘
⚡ Following Invincible Shield – No Pressure Then…
Let’s not forget what they’re following up here:
- Invincible Shield (2024)
- A proper heavyweight of a record that proved Priest aren’t just legacy legends… they’re still out here swinging like champions
That album hit like a steel chair to the face — packed with soaring vocals, screaming solos, and enough energy to power half of Birmingham ⚡
So yeah… expectations for album #20?
Ridiculously high. And rightly so.
🏭 STILL FORGING METAL AFTER 50+ YEARS?!
Let’s take a second to appreciate the madness here:
- Over FIVE decades deep in the game
- Nearly 20 albums (and counting!)
- Still writing new material
- Still dominating stages worldwide
This isn’t nostalgia… this is metal immortality, mun 🦾🔥
Bands come and go, trends rise and fall… but Priest?
They just keep marching on like a leather-clad tank with twin guitar cannons strapped to the side.
🤘 What Could This New Album Sound Like?
Details are scarce right now — tighter than a snare drum before a Slayer cover band kicks off 🥁
But based on recent form, expect:
- Huge, anthemic riffs
- Classic Priest energy with a modern edge
- Vocals that still defy human biology
- Tracks that’ll absolutely detonate live crowds
And let’s be honest… there’s gonna be at least one song that turns a festival field into a full-blown warzone.
🚨 RIFF REPORT VERDICT
New Judas Priest album in the works?
OH YES. AND IT’S ALREADY UNDERWAY. 🤘🔥
No release date yet. No title. No teasers.
Just the knowledge that somewhere, in a studio, heavy metal history is being written again.
And that’s enough to get every rocker in Wales (and beyond) buzzing like a dodgy amp on full blast ⚡
👉 Stay locked to The Riff Report, because the second Priest drop more news… we’ll be all over it faster than you can shout “BREAKING THE LAW!”
UP THE PRIEST. UP THE RIFFS. SEE YOU IN THE PIT. 😈🤘🔥
