From the band: “The Epitaph world tour came to an exciting conclusion at the renowned Hammersmith Odeon (now known as the Apollo) in London. Knowing our fans around the planet recognize that venue for many legendary metal moments, and of course with

Judas Priest being a British metal band it was the perfect gig for us to film and record. Big thanks as always to you our metal family of fans - so start banging your heads one more time with us as we scream together ‘The Priest is back!’’

This is a limited opportunity for fans to experience the excitement of “one of the most important and influential metal acts of all time” (Kerrang!) at this historic gig in magnificent HD with incredible 5.1 surround sound audio.

Judas Priest’s current lineup comprises lead singer Rob Halford, lead guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Scott Travis.

Heavy metal historians will regard EPITAPH as the most far-reaching live concert recording in the band’s career.  The set revisits the climactic closing date of the 50-week Epitaph World Tour, captured live at London’s HMV Hammersmith Apollo on May 26, 2012.  Adding to the drama is the fact that this was Judas Priest’s final large-scale world tour ever.  EPITAPH’s 23 tracks represent at least one song from every one of the band’s 14 studio albums, from 1974’s Rocka Rolla (‘Never Satisfied’) to 2008’s Nostradamus (‘Prophecy’).

In the special case of British Steel, four songs are featured: ‘Rapid Fire, ‘Metal Gods’, ‘Breaking The Law’ and perennial set closer, ‘Living After Midnight’.  Others exempted from the one-song-quota are the LPs which appeared before and after British Steel.  The first of these is 1979’s Hell Bent For Leather (UK title: Killing Machine) which lends the title song as well as ‘The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown)’. The other LP is 1982’s Screaming For Vengeance, source of ‘The Hellion’,  ‘Electric Eye’ and ‘You’ve Got Another Thing Coming’.

“They have epitomized the genre with their Harley riding frontman, rapid-fire guitar assaults, and spectacular stage shows,” wrote journalist Bryan Reesman in his liner notes for 2004′s leather-bound, metal-studded Metalogy box set.  “Influential, innovative, and exuberant in expression,” he wrote, “they are the true Metal Gods who have been as unwavering in their desire to expand the boundaries of their music as they have been in crossing international borders to deliver it to their disciples.”

“Unabashedly committed to their cause, and unrepentant in proclaiming themselves a true heavy metal band even when others have shied away from the term, Judas Priest have forever been defenders of the faith.”

From May 14th a series of exclusive screenings will take place in selected cinemas in the US, UK, Germany, Austria, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil with more being added and promises to be a full-on concert film experience. Fans will have a limited opportunity to re-live the excitement of the final show of the band’s last ever world tour, which was filmed at the Hammersmith Apollo London in May 2012.

EPITAPH features dynamic versions of 23 classic tracks covering all 14 studio albums, and was shot in stunning HD with a 5.1 surround sound audio mix.

Cinema locations and ticket purchasing information will be available at judaspriest.com on Tuesday 23rd April.

Discover the meaning of life and understand the human quest for happiness in the truly engaging and entertaining documentary I AM, released in selected cinemas on 24th January

To celebrate the theatrical release Director Tom Shadyac (Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Patch Adams, The Nutty Professor and Bruce Almighty) is taking part in a live interactive event in late January, taking to the stage to debate with key influential speakers about their visions of the utopian world we should all strive for. The screening and live debate will take place at the Empire Leicester Square in London’s West End and will be broadcast live into cinemas across Europe, with the opportunity for international audiences to interact in a live Twitter Q&A. The panel will be hosted by Ed Halliwell (author & journalist) and will include Tony Hawks (author and comedian) and Stephanie Crampin (Giving What You Can), alongside the Director, Tom Shadyac.

The critically acclaimed and highly entertaining I AM tells the captivating tale of Shadyac’s pursuit for truth and mortal significance after a bike accident left him with Post Concussion Syndrome. Destabilised by the effects of the accident and having stared death in the face, Shadyac begins to question what is wrong with the world and what we can do about it.

Shadyac’s mesmerising documentary is a thought-proviking mix of interviews, animations and clips, featuring remarkable interviewees from the realms of science, philosophy and faith, including: Noam Chomsky, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Coleman Barks, John Francis, Dean Radin, Daniel Quin, Howard Zin and David Suzuki, all of whom help sow the film’s fabric, along with a thought provoking mix of animation, beautiful cinematography and clips.

Delivering a multitude of themes, I AM is a must-see documentary that instils a positive sense that change can be accomplished by acts on everyday individual levels. Digging deeper than the surface, Shadyac’s film magnifies the Earth’s true problems, and takes the audience on a journey of discovery and the realisation that we all have the power to change the world.

The distributors, Omniverse Vision and Universal Pictures, are working with a number of charities to raise awareness of the film including Mind, Action for Happiness, and Giving What You Can.
