Back in April, we reported that Judas Priest was in the studio doing some recording. While that was accurate, the recording was only for demos that will eventually become the next Judas Priest full length record.
According to guitarist Richie Faulkner in a below interview with Sweetwater Music, the band is aiming to hit the studio in January 2017 and release an album at some point next year!
"…We’ve just been in the studio for a couple of months putting songs together. We haven’t started the recording process yet, but we’re recording demos; we’re recording songs that work without the production to save them, if you know what I mean. But the core value… We’re putting down some grassroots ideas and fleshing them out for the next Priest record. So we’re gonna go into the studio to start recording in January. So it should be out sometime next year. But we’re not touring next year. So we’re gonna be touring, hopefully, in 2018."
Bummer about the touring, but I love that Judas Priest is already looking with hopeful eyes toward 2018 at the prospect of a tour.
