Englantilaisen heavy metalin jättiläisen Judas Priestin vokalisti Rob Halford on antanut hiljattain Full Metal Jackien luotsaamalle radio-ohjelmalle haastattelun, jossa Halfordilta on kysytty yhtyeen suunnitelmista seuraavan albumin julkaisun suhteen. Halford on haastattelussa sanonut yhtyeen kuluttuvan vuoden 2016 lopun kirjoittaen sekä nauhoittaen uutta albumiaan, jonka julkaisua Halford epäilee tapahtuvaksi vuoden 2017 alkuun.

”Well, Jackie, we’re going on to writing sessions very, very soon. As we’re all winding up ’Redeemer Of Souls’… At the end of any tour, like most bands, [we say to ourselves], ’What are we gonna do, guys, girls? What are we gonna do? Where are we going next? What’s the plan?’ We finished this tour, this big world tour, just before the holidays in December, and we’re about to start writing sessions pretty much now. And that’s great. Oh, man, I can’t wait to get into the writing zone again. That, to me, as you and I have spoken over the years, Jackie, that’s one of the most thrilling moments for me personally in PRIEST. You go into a room, like very, very soon I’ll be there hanging out with Glenn and Richie, you’ll be in a room with some amps, and, ’Hey, guys, have a cup of tea, whatever.’ Turn the amps on, start riffing and boom, you could have another amazing PRIEST song by the end of the day. I love that part of being in PRIEST. So that’s the next step — writing sessions, get some really good, solid PRIEST material ready, and then, you know, Scott and Ian come in and we jam and we start putting the songs together. Like always, it’ll be ready when it’s ready, but there was already an extraordinary amount of ideas collected throughout that tour. So I’m optimistic that we should have something ready by… probably not by the end of this year, but definitely by the early part of next year.”
