Judas Priest<\/a><\/strong> clearly has no intention of slowing down. Rob Halford<\/strong> has made it well known that retirement is not in his vocabulary at the moment<\/a> as the band recently reissued their 1974 debut album Rocka Rolla<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Now in an interview with Audio Ink Radio<\/em>, Halford<\/strong> has expressed his hope that Judas Priest<\/a><\/strong> will write and record the follow-up to this year’s Invincible Shield<\/em> at some point. Probably not soon, but hey \u2013 20 albums is a pretty respectable amount of albums if the band does eventually get there. And Halford<\/strong> clearly intends to<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Well, it’s what we do,” said Halford<\/strong>. “I think most bands will tell you that their relevance is based on their music and where they are at that particular moment in their in their life as a band and that’s always sustained by the new music that you create. So even though we haven’t gone into that world yet, into that new world of music, I think that it’s inevitable there will be something else. When it will happen. I have no idea.”<\/p>\n He continued: “This band thrives on the metal that we make, the time that we spend with each other, ’cause there’s a lot of love in this band for each other. We appreciate that we need time downtime to go and be who we are outside of the band, which is important, so you can decompress and take a deep breath and rest and chill and then prepare for the next metal assault. But this is what Priest<\/a><\/strong> has been doing. Fifty years ago, we started with Rocka Rolla<\/em>. Fifty years later, we have Invincible Shield<\/em>. So, at some point, there’s gonna be another one, obviously.”<\/p>\n
