Judas Priest's singer, Rob Halford, talked on Launch Radio about the upcoming concept album about the 16th Century French prophet Nostradamus. The band has started thinking about release dates.

"Everyone's excited about the project. The writing sessions were fantastic — some of the best writing that (guitarists) Glenn (Tipton) and K.K. (Downing) and myself have ever created, and we're in good shape, we're recording. And finger's crossed, and with the belief that it's ready when it's ready, we should be out by the middle of 2007 with 'Nostradamus'."

Judas Priest is also working out the details for a stage show to go along with the album's subject matter.
