Listen to snippet of new Judas Priest track Traitors Gate

Judas Priest

Judas Priest have released a short teaser video showcasing their brand new track Traitors Gate.

The clip follows the songs Firepower and Lightning Strike from the album, which will arrive on March 9 via Columbia Records.

Firepower was produced by Tom Allom, who was behind the desk for the band’s output between 1979-1988, along with Andy Sneap. Sneap will tour with the band on guitar duties after Glenn Tipton was forced to step back due to his Parkinson’s diagnosis.

Judas Priest will head out on the road across North America next month, before retuning to Europe for several dates, including a headline set at the UK’s Bloodstock festival.

Find further details below, along with the Firepower cover art and tracklist.
