Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford har nyligen uttalat sig om skrivarprocessen för det kommande albumet som följer upp Nostradamus från 2008. Vad fans kan förvänta sig av det nya albumet säger Halford, ”We’ve already got a strong cross-section of ideas, some of them complete, some of them in bits and pieces.

You can only point it in the direction of where things are shaping up, and it’s…

Bandets gitarrist Jason Hook säger, ”The idea behind that is just to keep the creative muscle worked out. It’s just like going to the gym; if you stop for a year, you lose all your strength. It’s easy to get lazy and get sort of soft. We’re in the business of making music; touring is great, but we should always be prepared and always exercising that creative muscle —…
Det kristna metalcore bandet August Burns Red släpper sitt nya julalbum Sleddin Hill, A Holiday Album den 9 oktober via Solid State.
