About this concert
Det finns få heavy metal-band som har lyckats nå samma höjder som Judas Priest under deras 50-åriga karriär. Deras närvaro och inflytande är mer aktuell än någonsin, vilket tydligt framgår i albumet ”Firepower” från 2018, som gick direkt in på #5 på albumtopplistan.
Judas Priest bildades ursprungligen 1969 i Birmingham, England, ett område som många anser är födelseorten för heavy metal. Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing och Ian Hill kom att bli bandets kärna (tillsammans med flera olika trummisar under åren) och de kom tillsammans att ändra synen på heavy metal. Man kan säga att Judas Priest helt enkelt ägde 80-talet då de var i en klass för sig när det kom till ren metal och släppte tidlösa, klassiska album som ”British Steel”, ”Point of Entry”, ”Screaming for Vengeance”och “Defenders of the Faith”. Dessa låtar blev inspirationen till otaliga heavy metal-hitar inklusive “Breaking the Law”, “Living After Midnight”, “Heading Out to the Highway” och “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming”.
2010 tilldelades bandet en Grammy Award för ”Best Metal Performance” och under 2017 blev de nominerade till Rock and Roll Hall of Fame och gjorde sig redo att släppa ett nytt studioalbum, ”Firepower” (producerat av Andy Sneap och Tom Allom). Albumet blev en global succé och kritikerrosad och bandet åkte på den utsålda världsturnén ”JUDAS PRIEST – FIREPOWER 2018 World Tour”.
Nu fortsätter bandets intensiva turnerande samtidigt som de firar sin lysande karriär med ett 50-årsjubileum. I juni står dom på Dalhallas scen, missa inte detta!

Deaf Rat Biography
DEAF RAT opens the curtain on a sinister but tempting stage set from a dark musical with massive guitar riffs and strong melodies. This is the band that fills up the cracks in the ageing concrete between old school and modern hard rock.
Lead vocalist Frankie Rich and guitarists Pat Kramer and Max Lander spent the last seven years together touring Europe in minivans without air condition, sleeping on the floors of fans' apartments and sometimes even living in their recording studio to afford production costs for tours and album.
DEAF RAT hails from Dalarna in Sweden, a small region with long traditions of mining, steel industry, music and a healthy dose of DIY attitude.
To pay the rent between tours the band members have worked at a local theatre and a special effects company, something that sparked an interest in building props and effects for their live show. Also, a common childhood interest in blowing things up has found a natural outlet in some serious pyrotechnics.
DEAF RAT is, in the truest sense of the word, one of Sweden's most explosive live acts. The many years of touring and studio experience have taught the band to harness that fire and transfer it to tape.
The new album Ban The Light (released 2019 on November 1 through AFM Records) is a soundtrack of a dark and grainy dystopia, a should-have-been-made movie directed by the Devil with a cast of thoroughly bad men and evil women. Basic tracks were recorded live in the band's own Ballroom Studios in Falun, to capture as much as possible of the band’s on-stage energy. Vocals, overdubs and mixing were also done in Falun.
Ban The Light is inspired by yesterday's and tomorrow's evening news, where politics and religion are used to justify horrible acts. The album tells the story of people stuck in a world where free will is taken away, slowly, step by step, without anyone noticing.
