^ Hmmm, another double album, maybe? Or release one as soon as it's done and then wait awhile on the other?

Tasty!

Probably two albums. Rob mentioned something about another concept album a while back so maybe a "normal" metal Priest album and a concept album as well.

Rob writing lyrics for the new album...

judaspriestDo not disturb, Metal God in the lyrical #metalsphere. @robhalfordlegacy writing lyrics for the upcoming #JudasPriest album #priestfamily

Now you have that avatar your forum persona has taken on a whole new energy.

Notice how Rob eats bakewell tarts!

Hope it's as awesome as this track.

This must honestly be one of the GREATEST metal albums of all time.

Aye!

Ok let's just review the situation...

Priest have been writing the new album now since April, that's 6 months. All we've heard (from Scott Travis) is that there might be 2 new albums. Otherwise nada beyond the usual statements that don't say anything. We have to assume then that the writing process is ongoing and that they haven't started recording the album yet beyond demo level. So that that means that it's very unlikely that we'll see any new album or albums in the first half of next year. I would say that we'll be looking at another 12 months around about October 2017.

I say no way do they miss the window of next summer for a tour.  We may or may not hear every detail like when they start and finish recording.  I say it's out next May or June.  They're too old to let another whole year go by before they hit the road again.

JUDAS PRIEST To Begin Recording New Album In January; Next Tour To Start In 2018

JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Richie Faulkner was interviewed by Sweetwater editorial director Mitch Gallagher during "Making Hard Rock Look Easy", a three-day recording master class which was held October 20-22 at Sweetwater's campus in Fort Wayne, Indiana. You can now watch the chat below.

Speaking about the progress of the songwriting and recording sessions for JUDAS PRIEST's follow-up to 2014's "Redeemer Of Souls" album, Richie said: "I just flew straight back out of the U.K., straight to Sweetwater. We've just been in the studio for a couple of months putting songs together. We haven't started the recording process yet, but we're recording demos; we're recording songs that work without the production to save them, if you know what I mean. But the core value… We're putting down some grassroots ideas and fleshing them out for the next PRIEST record. So we're gonna go into the studio to start recording in January. So it should be out sometime next year. But we're not touring next year. So we're gonna be touring, hopefully, in 2018."

Conceivable, then, that Priest will be active even into 2019...that's a full fifty years of heavy metal mania!

I will love singing "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" in my 50s!

Aye, I'm 50 but last time I sang 'Another Thing'  (at Priest live gig, not in front of TV screen or Hi-Fi...) I was only 49!

[USB Connector]

AWESOME. Hopefully they'll hit my city when they tour. I missed them on their last tour and regret it quite a bit.
