After storming the world for nearly 40 years and taking their very brand of heavy metal to all four corners of the planet, Judas Priest, one of the most influential heavy metal bands of all time, have announced a show at London's HMV Hammersmith Apollo for 26th May.
Judas Priest are currently touring their massive 'Epitaph' show across the world, playing the songs that helped make the name Judas Priest synonymous with heavy metal!
With all guns blazing and amps cranked to eleven, the band will be giving their UK fans another chance to witness the ultimate metal experience that is Judas Priest!
In other news, a special Judas Priest compilation album has been released. 'The Chosen Few', an album curated by the band's contemporaries in the music world, was created after each artist picked their own favourite Priest track with legends such as Ozzy Osbourne, James Hetfield, Alice Cooper, Joe Elliott, Slash, Lemmy, Kerry King and Corey Taylor giving their own unique spin on the very best of Judas Priest from 1977's 'Diamonds And Rust' through to 1990's 'Painkiller'.
Speaking about his cover of 'The Ripper', Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne reveals. “This has always been one of my favorite Judas Priest songs…. I just want to know what the fuck that note is that Rob Halford hits in the beginning of the song. Fucking hell!! That note is probably just below what only dogs can hear.”
'The Chosen Few' is available now after being released in October 2011.
