Tom Morello is putting together a documentary about Judas Priest!
"The Ballad of Judas Priest" is in production, and will celebrate the band's' 50 year history. Documentary filmmaker Sam Dunn will co-direct, as the film will feature metal anthems like "Breaking the Law" and "You've Got Another Thing Comin'", as the film will chronicle the band's Birmingham, roots where Heavy Metal was born.
"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," Judas Priest said. "The cassock comes off, revealing Priest in all its metal glory!"
The film will be a directorial debut for Morello,
"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," Morello and Dunn added. "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."
