Judas Priest have released a short video clip showcasing their new track Lightning Strike.
The band posted the teaser on their Facebook page, with the track taken from the UK outfit’s upcoming 18th studio album Firepower, which is set to arrive in March.
The track is also available to hear in full via Spotify. Check it out below.
Frontman Rob Halford has praised guitarist Richie Faulkner’s contribution on the record, saying: “Richie’s playing is fucking unbelievable on this album. I think, as the writing team of Richie, Glenn Tipton and myself, this is some of our best work without a doubt.”
Priest will head out on tour in support of Firepower – which is now available for pre-order – in the coming months, with dates across North America and a selection of European shows confirmed.
