Judas Priest share killer new single, The Serpent And The King

Judas Priest have released another ace new single, The Serpent And The King.

The track is taken from next month’s Invincible Shield album, and hears frontman Rob Halford reflecting in an imaginative way about the days we’re all living in right now.

“This Serpent And The King issue couldn’t be more relevant right now, man,” the Metal God told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 in an interview earlier today.

“I don’t have to talk about current topics on the newswire. But yeah, this is it. This is raging right now, this fight that’s going on. The good news is the battle always ends in the right place, which is: good overcomes evil. Love always wins. Love will always come out on top. No matter how dark, how bleak, how terrible things might be, love will come out, the light will shine, the power will reign, and humanity progresses.

“This is the context of all of the imagery and fantasy of The Serpent And The King.”
