Defenders Of The Faith, le forum Metal

PRIEST's forthcoming album will mark the recording and songwriting debut of the band's new guitarist, Richie Faulkner, who replaced co-founder K.K. Downing in 2011.

Asked what fans can fans expect from the group's next CD, JUDAS PRIEST lead singer Rob Halford said in an August 2012 interview, "We've already got a strong cross-section of ideas, some of them complete, some of them in bits and pieces. It's shaping up to be quite intense, in terms of the riffage and the strength of certain tracks. Much like every time you try and talk about music, it's practically impossible to capture it. You can only point it in the direction of where things are shaping up, and it's just glorious. If I try to pinpoint it, there are elements of 'British Steel' and there elements of 'Painkiller' in terms of the vibe. We've got a really solid record coming together slowly in a strong metal way that will make all of our PRIEST fans around the world very happy and content. At least I hope it does."

Regarding a possible release date for the new PRIEST album, Halford said, "I'm not really sure. It'll be ready when it's ready. We're not under the same clock as we used to be. I remember in the '80s we were banging out a record almost every year, and that was on top of putting in a world tour. We have the luxury now, if you want to call it that, of taking our time. And that's just because that's the way it is. We're just as eager to get this done as ever, but we do it at a slower pace. It's that British thing, you know? [laughs] It's that monarchy thing. Let's look forward to that moment for another PRIEST record for everyone to bang their heads to."

In a November 2011 interview with Ultimate Classic Rock, Halford stated about PRIEST's plans for the upcoming CD, "Glenn and I started to write in the early part of January [of 2011]. We just went to it from the heart really, there was no specific agenda or idea, as opposed to what we had to do with 'Nostradamus', which was very focused and a real anchor of a project. This one has just been some straight-forward, classic British heavy metal. Some of it feels a bit like 'Painkiller', some of it feels like 'Sad Wings Of Destiny', some like 'British Steel'. We didn't do much research, we didn't bother checking some of our previous releases, we didn't do any homework, we just sat down and played, you know? Glenn came up with riffs and I came up with vocal melodies. There was no outside influence or interference in the writing sessions. We just started the day, plugged in some amps, got the mic up and made the metal that way. It's a very pure record, in that respect."

Dans un récent entretien accordé par Rob Halford à Billboard, le frontman de JUDAS PRIEST a dévoilé que « Le processus d’écriture [du nouvel album] est terminé [...] Maintenant, c’est un travail minutieux de s’assurer que vous obtenez chaque note, chaque nuance unique dans la voix, chaque aspect minuscule … Nous sommes toujours en train d’enregistrer (les instruments). C’est juste une partie très laborieuse mais agréable dans le processus d’enregistrement. »

Rob a été vu récemment sur un fauteuil roulant et entrain se faire aider par d'autres personnes pour se lever et marcher
C'est précisément sur cette question que Halford a répondu pendant une récente interview:

"En fait j'ai une blessure qui doit être traitée, chose que je ferai dès mon retour au Royaume-Uni. C'est un de ces effets secondaires du rock'n'roll. Je fait ce que j'aime depuis des décennies, mais c'est une chose qui maisse des séquelles. Des vêtements et des bottes lourdes, en métal, d'en haut en bas sur scène. Donc, mon corps a souffert, mais j'ai l'espoir que ça sera résolue rapidement pour mettre fin à cela.

For many musicians, being transformed into a 'Simpsons' character is an honor outweighed only by a Nobel Prize. Many of rock and metal's most iconic figures have been turned yellow by 'Simpsons' animators, and Judas Priest singer Rob Halford is the latest to receive the cartoon treatment.

Des vêtements et des bottes lourdes, en métal

We wish all of our fans a great Christmas and a very metal New Year! We will be releasing a new album sometime in 2014 so stay tuned!"

The writers for "The Simpsons", one of the longest-running sitcoms in television history, have acknowledged their mistake in calling JUDAS PRIEST a "death metal" band on last week's show and have made amends in the follow-up episode.

The cartoon's January 5 installment, titled "Steal This Episode", saw Homer getting involved in illegal film downloading, prompting the FBI to launch an anti-piracy investigation. When Homer's family sought refuge in a Swedish consulate, an overzealous FBI director in charge of anti-piracy subsequently went after him, and JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford wound up singing a parody of the band's classic "Breaking The Law" in an effort to nab Homer. "There's only one surefire way to get fugitives out of a foreign building," said the FBI agent. "Blasting death metal."

"Swedes love death metal," a headbanging consulate member said in the episode. "It reminds us of death!"

After last week's episode aired, much of the metal community showed its disapproval online, making it clear that JUDAS PRIEST is not, and never has been, a death metal band. Word evidently got back to "The Simpsons" creators, who made amends by having Bart scrawl the words "Judas Priest is not 'death metal'" repeatedly on the chalkboard in the introduction of this week's episode.
