Judas Priest have unleashed “Panic Attack” as the first single from their recently announced upcoming album, Invincible Shield. The song marks the band’s first new music since 2018’s Firepower LP.
The legendary metal act announced Invincible Shield during their set at the Power Trip festival this past weekend. The band’s 19th studio album will arrive on March 8th.
“Panic Attack” proves that Priest are still on top of their game after more than 50 years as a band. Following a thrilling minute-plus instrumental intro, singer Rob Halford’s familiar voice kicks in on the initial verses. The chorus evokes some “Breaking the Law” vibes, as Halford repeats the phrase “panic attack” multiple times.
As mentioned, Judas Priest just played the historic Power Trip festival in Indio, California. They filled in for Ozzy Osbourne, who had to bow out due to health reasons. Along with Priest, the three-day fest featured AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Tool.
Judas Priest recently announced a UK/European tour that launches in March, with tickets available here. A press release for the new song teases that the dates will be part of a larger world tour.
