Judas Priest released an official video for “Trial By Fire”, the second single of their upcoming studio album “Invincible Shield”. The black and white video shows the band in the woods performing great new track.
The complete album will be out next March 8, 2024 and it was recorded by Rob Halford (Vocals), Glenn Tipton (Guitar), Scott Travis (Drums), Ian Hill (Bass) and Richie Faulkner (Guitar). It was produced by Andy Sneap, who is also Judas’ touring guitarist since Tipton can’t tour anymore due to Parkinson’s disease and he only appears on selected shows.
Watch the Judas Priest official video for “Trial By Fire”:
Lyrics
“Shot down in cold blood
Didn’t know my name
No-one understood
So I took the blame
Where I left my mark
When the system fell
You were in my grasp
Hid behind your veil
Bound and abused
Branded a liar
I have endured
Trial by fire
Hang me out to dry
I broke every rule
Fell right in your trap
Played me for a fool
Catch you safe and sound
Tried to make you mine
Took this holy vow
Then you crossed the line
Bound and abused
Branded a liar
Falsely accused
Trial by fire
Committed no crime
In my innocence
I have endured trial by fire
Life is so cruel and unbearable
Can’t let you get in my way
What i need now is a miracle
To get through the end of each day
Burden of guilt
Branded a liar
whipped and abused
Trial by fire
Committed no crime
In my innocence
I have endured trial by fire”
Their last album was “Firepower” released in 2018 and “Invincible Shield” will be their 19th studio record. It was produced once again by Andy Sneap, who became their touring guitarist after Tipton’s forced retirement due to Parkinson’s disease.
