The trio co-wrote songs together on Judas Priest’s last two studio albums - 2014’s ‘Redeemer of Souls’ and 2018’s ‘Firepower’. Singer Rob Halford first confirmed a new Judas Priest album is “definitely” on the way last March. Speaking to Australia's May The Rock Be With You, Rob said they wanted to keep up the ante following the rapturously received ‘Firepower’.
“All this incredible acclaim, critical acclaim and from our fans, it's a boost more than anything else,” Rob said. “It gives us the inspiration, the motivation, to keep going into the 'metal future' as we call it. We're very grateful."
