That cover looks to be aimed at 15 year olds who collect comic books.
Do they realise their audience is 50+ years old?

[Psychobolia.com]

Well, the song titles and lyrics are blurred out, so it's obvs intentional.

And 3 guit players are listed, so they're trying to copy Maiden haha

Cover is pretty cool though.

Ever since Ram It Down, they have targeted 15 year olds.
Maybe they did it before that too, but then their fans were actually 13-18 or so.

I can also see those titles. They don't seem to be breaking any new ground lyrically. It's like Halford has been writing "in character" since Ram It Down. Even the love/relationship songs sound like the Metal God singing about human emotions. Out in the Cold was the last one that sounded like a real person. It was written just before his boyfriend's suicide and his own overdose. Coincidence?

[HueyRamone]

A shield?! That's playing defense! The Priest need to stick to offense, like firepower!

[Zabooka]

I think I was wrong about one. I saw somewhere else and it’s The Serpent and the King, not sins.

I think the third one is "bass guitars"..

[skinni]

looking forward to the release!

I would agree...I'm sure Andy is just a live fill and not part of the official band...

They’re not trying to copy anything, they have to put Glenn’s name on there so people will buy it. I doubt he played shit on it.

[Hellbound]

Not if that shield is being stuffed up your ass!

What? This is Judas Priest. Their audience may be old physically but they are emotionally and mentally stunted (myself included).

Judas Priest officially announced it.

If he can play the encores at Powertrip, he can go to the studio and lay down a few solos especially as he can then choose his good days to come in and play.

[SchenkerFan]

This seems lame. I would still prefer Hot Rockin' over this.

A little self-awareness goes a long way Refreshing to see, honestly.

Nope! "Ian Hill - Bass guitars would take up way more space than it does, it's Andy Sneap - Guitars...

This is the announcement on their website:

Invincible Shield is the nineteenth studio album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. Announced onstage at PowerTrip festival in California, the new record marks the band’s first release in 6 years, having recently celebrated 50 years in music and 50 million records sold. Judas Priest is Rob Halford, Ian Hill, Glenn Tipton, Scott Travis and Richie Faulkner.

[Ziggy Sawdust]

So it’s ok for Glenn to turn up when he feels like but not Ken, but it’s ok for the balding producer to play- who hardly no one knows -growing out what hair he has left? Not buying this album, fuck all this old age- playground bullshit. I’ll stream it at best.

Nothing about RNRHOF on there, since they sort of got in on a technicality or whatever the hell it was.

It's absolutely okay for Glenn to turn up whenever he can, he never left the band like Downing did, he just stepped down from touring. They were very clear about that from the start. Sneap's their producer and fill in guitarist. Maybe they should have asked Downing back, maybe not, but his quitting the band was a completely different circumstance than Tipton being forced to take a backseat because of his health.

[jens]

Tipton was also smart not to release a book endlessly shittalking his former band mates, calling them incapable drunks responsible for every bad decision, and himself the inventor of everything that was ever good about the band.
He went through 250 pages to make sure the bridges were thoroughly burned.

Yes, AND, apparently KK was a total pain in the ass to deal with at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
