Saw the #JudasPriest documentary last night at #Berlinale. It was the world premiere and #RobHalford was there! 🤯 Also #TomMorello, who produced the documentary, was there as well. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36999055/ #TheBalladOfJudasPriest is a lot of fun to watch with great pacing and a good dramaturgy! It features #JackBlack, #OzzyOsbourne, #KirkHammett and many more. I can 💯 recommend it to everyone who is into #heavymetal 🤘🏽but also to everyone who is interested in the history of metal, since Priest is one of the bands that put down the foundation. When they started, they didn't even know what to say when they were asked "what genre do you play?" and were labeled "progressive blues" in the very early days 🤣 #berlinale2026 #berlin
