Judas Priest Documentary Co-Directed by Tom Morello in the Works

Heavy metal legends Judas Priest will be the focus of a career-spanning documentary co-directed by Tom Morello.

The Rage Against the Machine guitarist will make his directorial debut with The Ballad of Judas Priest, which will arrive later this year via Sony Music Vision, Variety reports. The Ballad of Judas Priest will trace the heavy metal band’s half-century legacy, from their roots in Birmingham, England, to their climb to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. With the arrival of 2024’s Invincible Shield, Judas Priest became the first metal act to release albums 50 years apart, as their debut LP, Rocka Rolla, was unleashed in 1974.
