Netflix is turning up the volume this July with *The Untold Story*, a new feature-length documentary that dives deep into the legacy, chaos, and triumph of heavy metal pioneers Judas Priest. Long considered one of the most influential bands in rock history, Judas Priest’s journey from working-class Birmingham to global domination is finally getting the raw, unfiltered treatment it deserves.
Directed by acclaimed documentarian Alex Winter (*Zappa*, *Showbiz Kids*), *The Untold Story* promises fans an unprecedented look at the inner workings of the band that helped define the sound and style of heavy metal. Featuring never-before-seen backstage footage, personal interviews with Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, Ian Hill, Richie Faulkner, and former members, the film explores the band’s meteoric rise, internal struggles, reinventions, and enduring power.
What sets this documentary apart is its commitment to brutal honesty. From Halford’s groundbreaking coming out in the macho metal world, to Tipton’s emotional battle with Parkinson’s, to the band’s fierce resilience through lineup changes, lawsuits, and shifting musical eras, *The Untold Story* captures it all — with the amps cranked high.
Also included are candid insights from fellow rock icons like Lars Ulrich, Ozzy Osbourne, and Dave Grohl, who reflect on Priest’s seismic impact across generations.
For longtime fans, it’s a treasure trove of memories. For newcomers, it’s a crash course in metal royalty. And for everyone, it’s a reminder that Judas Priest wasn’t just a band — they were a revolution in studs and steel.
*The Untold Story* premieres globally on Netflix in July 2025. Prepare for riffs, revelations, and the roar of true metal history. Judas Priest is finally telling their story — and it’s loude
r than ever.
