 Judas Priest
The double-disc set, due internationally June 16 and one day later in the US, tells the story of 16th-century prophet Michel de Nostredame, better-known as Nostradamus.
The set is the second album since Halford returned to the band in 2003 after doing other musical projects for 12 years.
Fans can buy the regular version of "Nostradamus" in a jewel case with a 20-page artwork booklet designed in conjunction with artist Mark Wilkinson, who has worked on numerous Judas Priest albums.
Or you can choose the "regular deluxe" version, which has the double-CD housed in a 48-page hardbound book.
A third "super deluxe" release includes a triple-album vinyl version of the set and an exclusive poster plus the hardbound CD/booklet package.
That version will be available through normal retail channels internationally, but in the US is exclusive to Best Buy stores.
Sweetening the pot for fans, select packages will include a code redeemable for a free lawn ticket to see the band on this summer's Live Nation-promoted Metal Masters tour with Heaven & Hell, Motorhead and Testament.
Meanwhile, Judas Priest began a world tour June 3 in Finland, with European dates running through July 13, followed by a seven-date North American tour beginning July 22 in Seattle. The band then headlines the Metal Masters bill August 6-31.
