Judas Priest Announce Massive 50th Anniversary Box Set
The 42-CD
50 Heavy Metal Years of Music, out Oct. 15, bundles all of the band's official live and studio albums, along with 13 discs of previously unreleased live cuts. A scaled-back "Reflections" edition will be available in single-CD and double-LP formats.
"Judas Priest’s curated box set representing 50 heavy metal years is the ultimate treasure trove defining the band’s unwavering commitment to keeping and defending the heavy metal faith," singer Rob Halford said in a statement. Bassist Ian Hill added, "Amazing - 50 years of metal crammed into a small box!"
Guitarist Glenn Tipton noted, "If there’s one box set you should have in your heavy metal collection, it should be this one — it’s immortal — proclaiming and truly representing metal for over 50 years — flying the flag and proudly leading the way inspiring many bands throughout the years — this 42-CD selection says it all — it’s a big part of metal history and as such will live forever."
