Metal legends Judas Priest have released their highly anticipated 19th studio album, Invincible Shield. The 14-song deluxe edition is available to stream now in the players below.
Singer Rob Halford and company sound as powerful as ever more than 50 years into their career. As we heard on early singles “Panic Attack” and “Trial by Fire” (which landed on our list of the Best Metal & Hard Rock Songs of 2023), the Metal Gods remain in fine form, delivering a modern take on their old-school sound.
Judas Priest will hit the road in support of Invincible Shield on a headlining spring US tour with special guests Sabaton. The outing kicks off April 18th in Wallingford, Connecticut, with tickets for all dates available here.
Invincible Shield marks Judas Priest’s first album in six years, following 2018’s Firepower. As guitarist Richie Faulkner told Heavy Consequence in an interview last year, the long gap between LPs was largely due to the pandemic. On top of that, Faulkner experienced a life-threatening heart emergency, while Halford quietly battled prostate cancer.
