This week Adam, Orion and Scholze recall their boys trip away to Charlotte, NC to see the mighty Judas Priest and Sabaton on the Invincible Shield Tour! Like normal, we're breaking down the pre-and-post show shenanigans and go song by song in the setlists. This tour sees Sabaton command the stage in full snow camo regalia and epic choruses, while Judas Priest shows why they are in the pantheon of the metal elite. It is amazing how Rob Halford, at a young 72 years old, can still belt out the classics and embody his metal god moniker, fully adorned with the crown of horns. Join us as we continue our metal journey into seeing two heavy metal/power metal giants touring the states armed with tanks and sentinels!
