Rob Halford :" "'Judas Rising' is not really a statement of intent, no. I just like that expression. But it could be taken in both contexts. To me it's about the angel coming out of that SAD WINGS OF DESTINY artwork environment, where it was a very despondent, very doomy type of oppressive world, and now suddenly it's back in its full majesty and glory and it's overcome the odds and it's full of optimism and energy."
It was well received by fans, and has been regularly played live since the album's release.Fact|date=August 2008
