The Ballad Of Judas Priest will be taken to the “metal masses around the world” – but first, it’s making its debut at the Berlin International Film Festival in February.
Tom Morello has revealed details of his directorial film debut: a documentary about the mighty Judas Priest.
The Rage Against The Machine guitar hero has teamed up with Banger Films’ Sam Dunn for The Ballad Of Judas Priest, which is getting its world premiere at the 76th annual Berlinale (the Berlin International Film Festival) between February 12-22.
“While some may know Judas Priest for their huge hits that have shaped the heavy metal genre, there is so much more to their story,” say Tom and Sam. “Tracing their incredible 50-year journey, this film will capture how Judas Priest both defined the sound and look of metal but also made it a more inclusive place along the way. We are grateful to the band for allowing us such intimate, unfiltered access to their lives and look forward to bringing this film to the metal masses around the world.”
“We have lived and breathed metal for over five decades, and finally in this documentary we are summoning our congregation to officially witness our lives uncensored, in a never-before-seen way…” add Rob Halford and co. “The cassock comes off, revealing Priest in all its metal glory!”
