Judas Priest have launched a lyric video for their new track Never The Heroes.
It’s the latest song taken from the band’s upcoming album Firepower, which is set for release next Friday (March 9) via Columbia Records.
Priest previously revealed the tracks Firepower and Lightning Strike from the follow-up to 2014’s Redeemer Of Souls.
The band tell Loudwire: “Never The Heroes is about the courageous men and women that enter war. Never trained to be heroes, but becoming heroic due to their actions and sacrifices doing their duty for their people and country.
“It resonates, as there is a hero in all of us, and in times of struggle we can be strong and united, conquering our own challenges and helping others.”
Judas Priest will head out on the road across North America next month with Firepower co-producer Andy Sneap on guitar duties after Glenn Tipton was forced to take a step back due to his battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Priest frontman Rob Halford and Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi are the cover stars of the latest issue of Metal Hammer magazine, which is out now.
The pair chat about their careers, their influence on music and what they think of the current metal scene.
