Judas Priest — A Touch Of Evil: Live

A Touch Of Evil: Live, Judas Priest's fifth live album and the follow-up to last year's Nostradamus, is exemplary of the band's incredible staying power and talent. Fans who weren't lucky enough to score tickets to the metal act's 2009 summer tour can live vicariously through the audience members who heard the tracks on this album firsthand...

Metal Masters Dio, Priest Rule

Mullets were out in full force at the Molson Amphitheatre on Wednesday night as old school metalheads came out of the woodwork for the Metal Masters all-star tour. I did a headcount more than a dozen mullets on both men and women before I got distracted and lost count. That's not to say the crowd wasn't full of young people, too, as metal lovers...

Judas Priest — Nostradamus

Nostradamus is over-the-top, pretentious, overambitious, overwrought and downright ridiculous at times. None of those things are really a problem, though. It's a freaking double album rock opera; it's supposed to be that way. For the most part, it works. Priest's metal account of the life of the 16th century seer is exactly what it should be: a...

Judas Priest — Angel Of Retribution

This might be stating the obvious, but no Judas Priest effort will ever top the insanity, fury and rage of Painkiller and any Priest release with Halford back is going to be miles above the band’s "Ripper" Owens years. Angel Of Retribution sits happily and inoffensively in the middle of these parameters. Mid-tempo rock tracks that tap...

Judas Priest Appear On American Idol

We can't imagine Rob Halford is the kind of person who normally watches American Idol, seeing as leather daddies aren't amongst the "gay male" demo the show normally targets. But that didn't stop Judas Priest from appearing on the finale of the show's 2011 season last night. Yes, Judas Priest. On American Idol. We'd just like to remind you that...

Metal God Rob Halford Loves Christmas Music, Promises More Halford Band Releases

Wise men, figgy pudding and chestnuts roasting on an open fire probably aren't the first things that come to mind when you listen to songs like "Breaking The Law" and "Ram It Down," but the truth is the Metal God, Rob Halford, is chock full of the holiday spirit. The singer is so full of Christmas cheer, in fact, that he...

Judas Priest's Insane Fan

We've all gone through phases where we listen to an album over and over, but Cleveland Judas Priest superfan Jim Bartek took this to the extreme with Judas Priest's Nostradamus. Bartek began listening to the album on June 17, 2008, the day it was released, and put it on his stereo at least once a day for a ridiculous and insane 391 days....

Judas Priest have been a busy band since reuniting with original singer Rob Halford in 2003. They've made two studio albums, one live album — A Touch Of Evil, a collection of previously unreleased live material that hits stores on July 14 — and have toured almost constantly.

Judas Priest Explain Nostradamus

Even Nostradamus couldn't have predicted that in 2008 Judas Priest, the band responsible for such classic metal anthems as "Breaking The Law" and "Hell Bent For Leather" would write a heavy metal opera about his life. But that's exactly what they did, and on June of 2008, Nostradamus hit the record shelves... all 102 minutes of...

We Predict A New Album And Tour In Judas Priest's Future

It's been almost two years since ChartAttack revealed Rob Halford's plan to make an over-the-top, operatic Judas Priest concept record. The long-awaited Nostradamus double album will finally be released by Epic on June 17, but the full-blown stage show that the flamboyant frontman promised will have to wait. Instead, the band will headline a...
