The Priests of Metal


It feels good to be in Blogger again after 2 years.

Of the many not so worshiped names in the world of music the name that comes to my mind now is Judas Priest. The priest started off as a low key bunch of headbangers who were struggling to convince the British audience about their flavor of music. They could hardy unplug the ears lost in psychedelic Beatles one one hand and the fiery Led Zep on the other. Although metal was introduced before Priests jumped into the scene. The high pitched Black Sabbath made their mark with their World War II ballads. The priests were struggling hard and this was not to end until they were introduced in the west. Just over the Beach Boys the rock and roll was taking a restless turn and Judas Priest banged into the scene with the Second British Wave, the wave of metal.
The Americans had never felt the speed and power before and the music came as amazement for them and instant fame for the Priests. And 'Screaming for Vengeance' was just the icing on the cake. Their music grew and began to influence several other names who later a the greats of
today.

Their best album for me are Painkiller and Angel of Retribution.
Long Live Judas Priests
