JUDAS PRIEST NEW ALBUM "EVERYTHING IS COMING TOGETHER AND SOUND REALLY FANTASTIC"
JUDAS PRIEST is currently recording a concept album about the 16th Century French prophet Nostradamus. The band's management representative, Jayne Andrews, has issued the following update:
"The band are well under way in the studio. Everything is coming together and sounding really fantastic!! Glenn [Tipton, guitar] and K.K. [Downing, guitar] have been working very hard to put this album together. Scott [Travis, drums] is over next week and he and Ian [Hill, bass] will be laying down their parts. Rob [Halford, vocals] will be back in the studio very soon to put his vocals down, so it's all going according to plan! As we always say — be patient; it will be worth waiting for!!"
GLENN HUGHES TO HEADLINE AS SPECIAL GUEST AT NORWAY KARTFESTIVALEN
Legendary bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) will appear at the award-winning Kartfestivalen festival in Gvarv, Norway on July 13. This will be a very special show, with Glenn performing with some of the finest musicians in Norway, including Erland Dahlen from top Norwegian rockers MADRUGADA, on drums.
This is not a performance by Glenn Hughes and his band; Glenn is appearing in a "special guest" role with the assembled musicians, though the headlining appearance will feature him for a full set of DEEP PURPLE classics.
The organizers say: "Kartfestivalen began in 2005, and quickly gained a reputation of being a stage for the most talented bands in Norway. Beautifully set in a natural environment, Kartfestivalen is only the second ecological festival in all Europe. It is held in a town called Gvarv, which is Norway's hottest place. We are honored to have Glenn at the festival, and with his appearance, we expect the temperature to reach new levels!"
The festival starts Thursday, July 12 and ends on Saturday, July 14.
