**JUDAS PRIEST AND SLAYER UNITE FOR EARTH-SHAKING COLLABORATION “IN LOVING MEMORY OF…” — A GROUNDBREAKING ALBUM AND WORLD TOUR HONORING FALLEN METAL LEGENDS AND IMMORTALIZING THEIR IMPACT ON HEAVY MUSIC HISTORY**
In a thunderous announcement that has ignited excitement and reverence across the global metal scene, heavy metal icons Judas Priest and thrash pioneers Slayer have revealed a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration titled *“In Loving Memory Of…”*—a powerful musical tribute and co-headlining world tour dedicated to the memory of legendary musicians who shaped the metal genre.
The project, described as both a concept album and a sonic eulogy, will pay homage to fallen titans such as Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead), Ronnie James Dio, Jeff Hanneman (Slayer), Dimebag Darrell (Pantera), and many more. Each track on the album will reflect the spirit, sound, and legacy of those who came before—infused with the raw power and musical mastery that only Judas Priest and Slayer can deliver.
Produced under a shroud of secrecy for over a year, *“In Loving Memory Of…”* features original songs, reimagined riffs, and special guest appearances by members of Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and Anthrax. The tour, set to launch in early 2026, will span five continents and include immersive visual tributes, archival footage, and stage designs honoring the legacy of the greats.
Rob Halford of Judas Priest stated, “This is more than an album—it’s a sacred duty. We’re here to make sure these voices are never silenced.”
Kerry King of Slayer added, “We’re putting every ounce of fury and heart into this. It’s for them, and for the fans who keep the fire alive.”
With anticipation reaching a fever pitch, *“In Loving Memory Of…”* promises to be a monumental celebration of metal’s eternal spirit—loud, defiant, and unf
orgettable.
