Judas Priest Have Double Vision for Nostradamus Album - A Top Story This Week

.
Judas Priest Have Double Vision for Nostradamus Album was a top story Friday. Here it is again: (PR) Think "Double vinyl, gatefold sleeve concept album," and some of rock's all-time classic recordings come to mind. But in the realm of heavy metal, there has never been a double vinyl (now disc!) concept album that has managed to balance a thought-provoking storyline with metallic thunder. That was, until now. Metal legends Judas Priest will be releasing their sprawling double disc concept album, "Nostradamus" via Columbia Records on Monday, June 16th in the UK/Europe, and a day later in the US on Epic Records. Long in the works, "Nostradamus" takes epic storytelling to a whole new level, as it recounts the life of this mysterious, world-known 16th Century French prophet. Some of the events that Nostradamus experts have interpreted as his predictions include the great fire of London in 1666, the rise of Adolf Hitler, and most recently, 9-11, among countless other renowned events. "As in any concept piece, the lifeline needs to be of a solid source, taking the music over many levels of interest and perception," points out singer Rob Halford. "Nostradamus contains new frontiers explored and defined. The sense of adventure and the journey we undertook bringing the man's life alive with metal was a real labour of love." - lot more info, including tour bits, special editions and when you can get a free preview
