The Metal Gods aren’t done yet: new Judas Priest will work on a new album next year

Scott Travis, drummer for Judas Priest, was asked in a recent interview with El Salvador’s Nación Metal if he and his bandmates faced any difficulties while recording their most recent album, “Invincible Shield” from 2024. 

Um, no real challenges. We took our time and we did it over the course of a year and a half. And we did it in all different places. We did some in Nashville, we did some in England. We did some even in hotel rooms when we were traveling on tour, because, with having Andy Sneap in the band, who’s obviously the producer, he has so many ways to record guitars, bass, drums, vocals. So, we recorded some in Phoenix, Arizona, I remember that also. But no real challenges other than taking our time, and it seemed to be the right decision. So we hope to do it again in 2026 and have another new release.
