Judas Priest To Begin Recording New Album In 2026

Judas Priest are planning to start the recording process for their next album in 2026. Bassist Ian Hill confirmed the news during a recent interview with Audio Ink Radio.

Hill said the following:

“There’s plans to go back into the studio in the new year. So when it’ll be released, I don’t know. It’s a long process. We’re in no rush either, so it’ll be a while. But the recording is gonna happen, it looks like, next year.”

He continued when asked if the band have been writing material on the road:

“I know [guitarist] Richie [Faulkner] has. He’s got quite a few ideas together, yeah. So we’ve got a head start there.”

He also added the following about touring plans:

“Well, that’ll happen as well. Obviously, if you have an album, you have to go out and tour with it. So, yeah, that’ll happen too.”
