(hennemusic) Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford is sharing an update on the progress of the band's new studio album ahead of their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame next month.
The work-in-progress will mark the follow-up to the group's 2018 record, "Firepower", which earner the legendary UK outfit their highest-charting US album when it debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 upon its release.
"All the writing's done; the bulk of the recording is done," Halford tells Q104.3 New York. "I've still gotta put my vocal tracks down. So, in essence, it's done, which is a great feeling, because again, that really points us to the metal future. Everything that we've done in Priest over the last 50-odd years has been driven by the latest music that we're making. So this is no exception."
Currently playing dates on a fall US tour, Judas Priest will be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame during a November 5 event at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, CA.
