JUDAS F-ING PRIEST WILL RELEASE A NEW ALBUM IN JUNE!

110

Judas PriestBillboard.com [via SMNnews.com] is reporting that Judas Priest will release their 16th studio album Nostradamus on June 17th in North America (a day earlier internationally) via Epic Records.

Yes, folks… a NEW JUDAS PRIEST RECORD!

Supposedly the record will be a conceptual piece about the 16th century prophet Michel de Nostredame (aka Nostradamus). An announcement that the band will tour the U.S. this summer with Heaven and Hell and Motorhead is imminent.

Sounds pretty awesome, yeah? Well… I can’t decide.

Maiden records of late haven’t been too much to talk about (save 2000’s spectacular comeback Brave New World), so what reason do we have to believe a new Priest record will be great? Don’t get me wrong, I certainly hope it will be. But I fear it could be just another Priest record that sounds like… just another Priest record.

Your thoughts?
