Nostradamus (album)

Nostradamus is the sixteenth studio album by the English heavy metal band Judas Priest, focusing on the 16th-century writer Nostradamus. It is a double album and a concept album.

Initially planned for release in late 2006, the album's launch was postponed to 2007 before it was ultimately released on 16 June 2008 on Epic Records. It marks the last Judas Priest studio album featuring the Painkiller-era lineup, as guitarist and founding member K. K. Downing retired in April 2011.

To promote Nostradamus, Judas Priest toured with Motörhead, Heaven & Hell, and Testament on the Metal Masters Tour. The band also embarked on a world tour in 2008 and 2009 in support of the album.
