In an October 2024 interview with KNAC.com , Faulkner was asked if Judas Priest were going to continue touring in 2025 or planning to hit the studio to write and record another album. His reply was, “I think a bit of both, really. These tours tend to grow and evolve over time — the more we do, we get more offers from different territories and stuff — so I’m sure there’ll be more touring. And there’s always ideas coming up, there’s always creative juices flowing. So if we’re able, we might be able to get in and put some ideas together and see where we are. Is there another record? I know we’ve got ideas coming up all the time — riffs and melodies and song ideas and stuff. We’re creative people — as a group of creative people, that’s gonna happen. So I think, hopefully if we get some time early next year, we’ll be able to pool those ideas and see what we’ve got and then hopefully hit the road again somewhere else.”
