It’s been six years since the British heavy metal rockers Judas Priest released an album, but they are back with “Invincible Shield.”

The band is on tour to support “Invincible Shield,” which is the group’s 19th album. Judas Priest has been making music for 55 years and has sold more than 50 million records. The band’s lineup has changed over the years and currently features Rob Halford, Ian Hill, Glenn Tipton, Scott Travis and Richie Faulkner.

Judas Priest was founded in 1959 but didn’t hit the mainstream until 1980 with the album “British Steel.”
