Heavy metal band Judas Priest is making a big comeback this year, releasing their first concept album ``Nostradamus.'' This is probably Judas Priest's most ambitious musical endeavor, creating over 100 minutes of music based on the life of famous 16th century prophet Nostradamus.
Through their music, Judas Priest said they attempted to create a timeline of significant events in Nostradamus' life. They focused not just on Nostradamus' prophecies but also his personal experiences. Listeners can find influences of classical music and opera throughout the album but it is still undeniably heavy metal music.
