The band will be touring with Sabaton, in support of the newest Judas Priest studio album, "Invincible Shield", due out on March 8th of this year.

JStew and Cori got a chance to chat with one of the founding members of the band, bassist Ian Hill, about the upcoming tour and what drives these metal gods to keep at it 55 years after they started.

As you can tell, for a man who's played with such a legendary rock band for most of his life, Hill was actually pretty down-to-earth and very great to talk with.

We can't wait to see them when they come to Bangor.
