Judas Priest: Invincible Shield (March 2024)

New album confirmed

What else is there to say besides, "Woohoo! Bring it on!" ?

Should be good, like the previous one. 

Strange title though… 

It’s like a cybersecurity company name.

Well that “song” in this gives me a Turbo feel. I like most of the songs on that album, but it’s definitely my least favorite one by them. Hope this clip isn’t the direction they went with the new album, has me nervous lol

Yep, it seems they are dusting off the old keyboards for some of this new album.

Not necessarily a bad thing if done right… but who knows until we hear it in its entirety. I can’t imagine them not having at least a few fast paced heavy tunes. This could be their last or next to last album. They wouldn’t leave the fans (and their legacy) with a wimpy piece of crap.

A new Priest is always welcome. I did read that it won't be a Firepower 2 though.

Terrible album name but I'm a Priest fanatic so I'm thrilled to get a new album from them!

New Priest is always a welcome addition to the collection. Looking forward to it.

At least it's not a euphemism for anal sex.

New song kicks ass!

Pretty decent tune.

New song sounds good but the lyrics are kind of klutzy though. "Mass hypnotic, wild neurotic memes?" Oooookay, Rob...

I agree. I thought it was good. Not blown away by it. I need to listen to it more.

Not bad… but not exactly great either. The keyboards have a Dream Theater feel. I didn’t expect that.

I didn’t care for the keyboards at the beginning, but after that I thought it was a killer tune.

Being that most of them are old, the title “Invincible Shield” could describe their adult diapers.

Actually, the keyboards were kind of fun.

I like the song. Keyboards and the 80's drums in the intro are sexy. It's not the most gripping Priest song ever, but it has charm. Halford's voice sounds a little limited in the beginning and during verses, but then he let's it rip before the solo.

It's a good song, works for me at least. Let's see the full album. At least Fire Power had good staying power.

I don’t mind the keyboards on a couple songs. But I have a feeling there will be better songs on this album that are more straightforward.

That Trial By Fire song SUUUCCCKKKSS!!!! Not sure what they are thinking but it's definitely trash!! That is NOT the Priest that is loved by fans!!! Surprised people like it. Richie should have kept this progressive crap for his Elegant Weapons band NOT Priest. I am very disappointed!!!!

That sounds nothing like Elegant Weapons.

But it does sound like something off Nostradamus...

I thought it was pretty good. (shrugs)

Nice to see Glenn T. in the video too.
