After that we'll do some Russia dates. I'm looking forward to those -- we've never been there before.

And because of the reunion I think we've got more energy and enthusiasm than we've ever had. And it's genuine. I think the fans can detect when you're genuine, when you love what you do, and we love to be there on stage. That's what we thrive on.

We love not just Judas Priest music, but we love heavy metal and we love to get out on that stage every night and perform. It's a joy to be able to do it.

It is very reminiscent of our other albums. It's a reunion album, though it is quite poignant.

We knew there were a lot of expectations but we didn't let the pressure get to us. We just had fun with it -- we just do what comes natural and enjoy the ride. We're fortunate to have a great chemistry. When we get together, we get the Judas Priest sound -- that's success.

We've been through a lot together. Priest is known for its live music, so what we're looking for to is playing again.
