Now that you’ve heard all of Judas Priest’s new album Nostradamus as streaming audio on Headbangersblog.com’s debut of “The Leak,” check out the first segment of our three-part video interview with the band.
Gathered at the bar of The Bourgeois Pig, a restaurant in New York’s East Village, singer Rob Halford and guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing discuss the life of French prophet Nostradamus, and how the events in his life acted as musical cues for the creation of the band’s heavy metal opera. Priest also talk about the largely animated video for “War,” which will debut next week on HeadbangersBlog.com and “Headbangers Ball.”. Lastly, the band address the inclusion of their music in the video game Guitar Hero and how that has helped spread their sounds to a new audience.
