During a conversation with Brave Words in May 2023, JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Richie Faulkner suggested that their upcoming album, Invincible Shield, contains more musical intricacies compared to its predecessor, Firepower.
“It’s the same band, so it’s the same DNA,” he said. “But it doesn’t sound like the last record – it sounds like its own album, as they should. It’s exciting. It’s got a few more twists and turns musically – than the last record had. It’s by no means a RUSH record, but it’s got a few more twists and turns and musical journeys.”
