And, of course, this was going on during the pandemic — the initial stages of the pandemic — so the world was completely closed down. PRIEST would have been on a bit of a hiatus anyway, because we had just been around the world three times with [PRIEST‘s latest album] ‘Firepower’, so we were gonna be on a kind of a break although we were writing for the new album.
