ALBUM

Painkiller (1990)

Painkiller arrived as a muscular comeback record, with new drummer Scott Travis pushing the band into faster, more aggressive territory than they had explored in years. The title track became one of their most celebrated songs, and the album is widely considered a high point of their catalog.

Judas Priest

Judas Priest are a heavy metal band from Birmingham, England, formed in 1969. They helped define the sound and look of heavy metal through the late 1970s and 1980s, building a catalog of hard-riffing records with Rob Halford's wide-ranging vocals at the center. Over more than five decades they have gone through lineup changes and stylistic shifts but remained one of the most influential acts in the genre.
