Living metal history Many Judas Priest fans would no longer have expected the band to be capable of such a strong heavy metal masterpiece as »Firepower« from 2018. Number 2 in the German charts was the well-deserved reward for the fan and critic favorite. In 2024, the legendary band from Birmingham will present the follow-up, their 2024 album »Invincible Shield«. Some of the songs on Judas Priest's upcoming 19th long-player are still from the songwriting phase of the last work. Nevertheless, according to guitarist Richie Faulkner, »Invincible Shield« will not be »Firepower 2«. Instead, many of the new pieces are much more progressive than on his predecessor. The first single »Panic Attack« is a classic Judas Priest hit. Powerful drumming meets driving-melodic guitars and of course the inimitable voice of »Metal God« Rob Halford. Andy Sneap is once again responsible for the rich production of »Invincible Shield«. The Brit has been part of Judas Priest as a live guitarist for several years and has already given »Firepower« the perfect sound. Over the past 50 years, Judas Priest have sold more than 50 million albums worldwide and performed in the world's biggest stadiums. In 2022, they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and finally completed their sold-out world tour to mark their 50th anniversary, which had to be postponed several times due to Corona. The next concerts around the globe are already booked for 2024, then of course with all the hits of »Invincible Shield« in their luggage. CD 2024 New
