Yes it was. The Nostradaums tour was 2008, British steel 2009, Made of metal 2010 (this one) and then Epitaph started in 2011. Made of metal tour ended in December of 2010, right at the same time Judas Priest (at the time) announced their farewell tour, which started about half a year after this one ended so Halford had very little time off during those years. Somehow he still released Nostradamus in 2008, Halford III: winter songs in 2009 and then Made of Metal in 2010 which this tour was in support of, although the tour did start before the album was out. Glad they all decided to carry on with Judas Priest though cause his voice from late 2011 till now has been really good (though everybody has off days still) and released 2 killer albums, with the latest being among their best work ever. It's a lot longer answer than was asked for, but i really like them as it might show. Really hope personally that they still have 1 more tour in them. But given how demanding the singing is and Rob nearing 70 I would not be surprised if his voice declined quite soon, but what we have gotten from them in recent years, even with all the setbacks (and them celebrating 50 years this year) i am more than happy with what they have given us fan and in general to the music as a whole so if the end is coming they are for sure ending on top.
