Rob Halford (Judas Priest): “We live in a world where lies can be pushed so hard that they become the truth”

that the British Judas Priest They still have well-charged batteries, confirmed to us by themselves. Rob Halford a few weeks ago when he assured that he does not even want to talk about end of the historic band. What they have not lost over the years is not that social awareness that they already demonstrated in the past and that they regained with a notable note about current society that says the following: “We live in a world where lies can be pushed so hard that they become the truth.”.

This statement occurred during an interview with the vocalist Rob Halford for Planet Rockin which he discussed the inspiration for the song “Trial By Fire”present on their latest album, ‘Invincible Shield’.

This is how he related it: “Thinking about the words, it is a reference to the way you can be judged and misinterpreted perceptions and ideas. And going deeper, that is the society we live in today. People can be quick to judge, people can bring their own ideas and agendas that tip the balance of truth. We live in a world where lies can be pushed so strongly by powerful figures that a lie becomes the truth. And that is a terribly dangerous place. So we are using this type of open discussion forum and leading it to this title, “Trial By Fire.””.

About the fact that Judas Priest He had already shown his social conscience in the past, Halford responded this way: “Yes. Since “Savage,” which is about global warming, and that was in 1970-something. Many times we do not express the message in black and white, but rather leave it open to interpretation. The songs become their own entities. We let our fans have fun with the messages we put out. Some are very direct and obvious, like “Breaking The Law” or “Living After Midnight”, but then on one occasion like “Panic Attack” or “Trial By Fire”, we go deeper. We let you find your own path and draw your own conclusions”.
