Judas Priest bassist Ian Hill has shared promising updates about the band\u2019s plans for a new album, as reported by Audio Ink Radio.<\/p>\n
Hill addressed the possibility of a follow-up to the band\u2019s latest album, \u2018Invincible Shield.\u2019 He confirmed that studio work is on the horizon.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s plans to go back into the studio in the new year,\u201d Hill said. \u201cSo when it\u2019ll be released, I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s a long process. We\u2019re in no rush either, so it\u2019ll be a while. But the recording is gonna happen, it looks like, next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hill also revealed that guitarist Richie Faulkner has already begun working on material for the upcoming record.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know Richie has started writing new music,\u201d he continued. \u201cHe\u2019s got quite a few ideas together, yeah. So we\u2019ve got a head start there.\u201d<\/p>\n
The band appears to be taking a measured approach to the recording process, with no immediate rush to release the album. This deliberate pace reflects Judas Priest\u2019s commitment to maintaining their high standards while balancing studio work with other commitments.<\/p>\n
Judas Priest\u2019s previous album, \u201cInvincible Shield,\u201d released in March 2024, received a positive reception that reinforced the band\u2019s continuing vitality, as Arrow Lords of Metal noted. This recent success sets a strong foundation for the upcoming album and has motivated their forward momentum toward new material.<\/p>\n
Hill also confirmed that the band is planning to tour in support of the next album once it is released, Arrow Lords of Metal reported. This highlights that live performances remain a priority in their overall strategy. Fans can expect live shows following the new release.<\/p>\n
The band\u2019s cautious approach extends beyond the studio. Judas Priest has canceled at least one upcoming concert in 2025 for unspecified reasons, Suggest revealed. This underscores the band\u2019s measured approach to balancing recording activities and live commitments during this period. It aligns with Hill\u2019s indication that there\u2019s no rush on the album\u2019s release timeline.<\/p>\n
With Faulkner already working on new ideas and the band\u2019s studio plans set for 2026, Judas Priest continues to demonstrate their dedication to delivering quality material while maintaining a sustainable pace for the legendary metal act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
