With the album’s first single, “Wings of Fire,” already generating buzz for its blistering riffs and Rob Halford’s signature vocal prowess, anticipation for the full album is at a fever pitch.
In a recent statement, Halford, often hailed as the “Metal God,” expressed his excitement about the upcoming release. “*Metal Phoenix* is a celebration of our journey and a testament to the enduring power of heavy metal. We’ve poured everything into this album – the energy, the passion, and the spirit of Judas Priest. It’s a record that’s meant to be played loud, and we can’t wait for our fans to hear it.”
To coincide with the album’s release, Judas Priest has also announced the *“Metal Phoenix World Tour,”* a global trek that will see the band perform across multiple continents. The tour is set to kick off in the summer of 2025, with the band playing in major cities across North America, Europe, South America, and Asia. This tour marks the band’s first full-scale global tour since their *50 Heavy Metal Years* tour, and it promises to be one of the most monumental events in metal history.
