Metal legends JUDAS PRIEST will embark a world tour to coincide with
the release of their sprawling double disc concept album,
‘Nostradamus’, which will be available on Columbia Records on Monday,
June 16th in the UK/Europe, and a day later in the US on Epic Records.
Long in the works, ‘Nostradamus’ takes epic storytelling to a whole new
level, as it recounts the life of this mysterious, world-known 16th
Century French prophet. Some of the events that Nostradamus experts
have interpreted as his predictions include the great fire of London in
1666, the rise of Adolf Hitler, and most recently, 9-11, among
countless other renowned events.
Since 1974, Judas Priest - singer Rob Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton
and K.K. Downing, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Scott Travis - has been
one of heavy metal’s most successful bands, issuing such all-time
classic albums as 1980’s ‘British Steel,’ 1982’s ‘Screaming for
Vengeance,’ and 1990’s ‘Painkiller,’ and such arena-rocking anthems as
“Breaking the Law,” “Living After Midnight,” and “You’ve Got Another
Thing Comin’.”
However, Priest’s influence goes far beyond their music - they were the
first metal band to embrace the ‘leather biker look,’ a fashion that
has since become synonymous with the musical genre. Additionally,
Halford’s powerful four-and-a-half octave vocal range and the twin
guitar harmonies of Downing and Tipton have been ‘studied’ by countless
metal bands in Priest’s wake.
