Judas Priest Head to the Big Screen. The Documentary The Ballad Of Judas Priest Reveals the Behind-the-Scenes Story of a Metal Legend.

British heavy metal icons Judas Priest once again prove that their legacy reaches far beyond the boundaries of music. The band has released a new short teaser from the highly anticipated documentary The Ballad Of Judas Priest, in which frontman Rob Halford reflects on one of the most defining moments of his career – the song and now legendary music video for Breaking The Law from the groundbreaking album British Steel.

The documentary is co-directed by Sam Dunn, known for his metal-focused film explorations (Metal: A Headbanger's Journey, Iron Maiden: Flight 666), and Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine. The result is set to be a raw, honest, and in-depth look at a band that helped define heavy metal as we know it today. The film focuses not only on the music, but also on the inner strength, perseverance, and ability of Judas Priest to survive decades of change, trends, and pressure.

The Ballad Of Judas Priest will offer a story filled with iconic moments and immortal tracks such as "Breaking The Law" and You've Got Another Thing Comin', which have become permanently embedded in both metal and pop culture history. The world premiere will take place at the prestigious Berlin International Film Festival, further confirming the significance and weight of the band's legacy beyond the metal community.

Judas Priest once again remind us that heavy metal is not just a music genre – it is an attitude, an identity, and a lifestyle that has stood the test of time.

The metal gods will also return to the Czech Republic in 2026. Ostrava will become the stage for another monumental chapter in Judas Priest's history – and that night will belong solely to steel, leather, and pure metal power.
