Judas Priest Big Screen Screenings Of The Band's Final World Tour

Judas Priest, the heavy metal legends whose influence on generations of musicians and metalheads is incalculable, celebrate their 40th year as recording artists with the global cinema release of the live concert EPITAPH, a unique live career retrospective. EPITAPH will have a special screening at the Clearview Chelsea in New York on the 14th of May and then in selected markets on the 15th of May, 2013.


From the band: “The Epitaph world tour came to an exciting conclusion at the renowned Hammersmith Odeon (now known as the Apollo) in London. Knowing our fans around the planet recognize that venue for many legendary metal moments, and of course with Judas Priest being a British metal band it was the perfect gig for us to film and record. Big thanks as always to you our metal family of fans - so start banging your heads one more time with us as we scream together ‘The Priest is back!’’


Omniverse Vision, the global distributor of the film, has confirmed screenings in key markets in the US and is excited to announce a partnership with Tugg, a web-platform that will enable fans to request a screening of EPITAPH at their local theater and create their own event.


This is a limited opportunity for fans to experience the excitement of "one of the most important and influential metal acts of all time" (Kerrang!) at this historic gig in magnificent HD with incredible 5.1 surround sound audio.


EPITAPH will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on May 28th in the US through Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music Entertainment This release precedes a new studio album by Judas Priest which the band are working on now.


Judas Priest's lineup comprises lead singer Rob Halford, lead guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Scott Travis.
