Judas Priest launched into the next leg of their anniversary tour on October 13 in Wallingford, CT. The band broke out some deep cuts throughout the setlist, including "Genocide" which they haven't played live since 1982! You can check out fan-filmed footage of that performance above. As for the new record, Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner said the band has been making some serious progress in a recent interview with The Entertainment Outlet.
"We're getting there. We've been trying to get it done. The first obstacle was the pandemic, because we couldn't get together and do it as a group. And then when the pandemic restrictions were lifted, then we could go out on tour. So the next obstacle, if you wanna call it that, was the tour. So we had to go out and tour and record bits and pieces in between the tour legs. So we've got drums done, we've got guitars done, we've got the bass done.
"I think the main thing we have to do now is vocals. So we've got the U.S. leg of the tour coming up, so Rob [Halford]'s gotta protect his voice and use his voice sparingly before that. So maybe after that. I mean, we've got [dates in] the U.S. and we've got South America, which takes us into December. So maybe in the New Year we can start working on vocals."
