Judas Priest
Judas Priest are an English heavy metal band formed in Birmingham in 1969. They have sold over 50 million albums and are frequently ranked as one of the greatest metal bands of all time. Judas Priest have also been referred to as one of the pioneers of the new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM) movement, and are cited as a formative influence on various metal subgenres, including speed metal, thrash metal, and power metal, as well as the hard rock/glam metal scene of the 1980s. Despite an innovative and pioneering body of work in the latter half of the 1970s, the band had struggled with poor record production and a lack of major commercial success until 1980, when their sixth studio album '' British Steel'' brought them notable mainstream attention. During the 1970s, the core of bassist Ian Hill, lead singer Rob Halford and guitarists Glenn Tipton and K. K. Downing saw a revolving cast of drummers (with Les Binks being the only one who played on more than one album), ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Live! Go For What You Know
''Live! Go For What You Know'' is a live album by the Pat Travers Band, released in 1979 on Polydor Records. It reached platinum status in the US, and was re-released on CD in 1993. Background The album was recorded on tour in the US in early 1979, and featured the guitar tandem of Travers and Pat Thrall, who had joined the Pat Travers band in 1977 and had recorded '' Heat In The Street'' (1978) with them. According to ''Legends of Rock Guitar'', on this album and the follow-up, '' Crash and Burn'' (1980), the duo of Travers and Thrall bridged the gap between what it calls "dramatic changes" in metal in the late 1970s: Travers emblematized "the blues-rock sound of sixties and seventies metal" whereas Thrall's playing represents the newer wave in metal (represented by Eddie van Halen): "The combining of the two players' solos during this time showed a rare detente between two generations of hard rockers and, although short-lived, it was extremely exciting." The album was produce ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ram It Down
''Ram It Down'' is the eleventh studio album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released on 13 May 1988 by Columbia Records. It was the band's last album to feature longtime drummer Dave Holland, and was promoted in Europe and North America with the Mercenaries of Metal Tour. On 18 July 1988, the album earned gold certification for shipments of over 500,000 copies. In 2001, it was remastered and reissued with two bonus tracks. Background In 1986, Judas Priest intended to release a double album entitled ''Twin Turbos'', of which half would consist of melodic, more commercial hard rock, and the other half would be heavier and less synth-driven. Columbia Records objected to the double album concept, and the project was ultimately split into two separate releases, 1986's ''Turbo'', and 1988's ''Ram It Down''. At least four songs, "Ram it Down", "Hard as Iron", "Love You to Death" and "Monsters of Rock", were written for the ''Twin Turbos'' project. ''Ram It Down'' wo ...

Priest
A priest is a religious leader authorized to perform the sacred rituals of a religion, especially as a mediatory agent between humans and one or more deity, deities. They also have the authority or power to administer religious rites; in particular, rites of sacrifice to, and propitiation of, a deity or deities. Their office or position is the "priesthood", a term which also may apply to such persons collectively. A priest may have the duty to hear confessions periodically, give marriage counseling, provide prenuptial counseling, give spiritual direction, teach catechism, or visit those confined indoors, such as the sick in hospitals and nursing homes. Description According to the trifunctional hypothesis of prehistoric Proto-Indo-European society, priests have existed since the earliest of times and in the simplest societies, most likely as a result of agricultural surplus#Neolithic, agricultural surplus and consequent social stratification.

Turbo (Judas Priest Album)
''Turbo'' is the tenth studio album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released in the UK on 7 April 1986 by Columbia Records. The album is notable for the band's change to a commercial glam metal sound, that had them using synthesizers for the first time. A remastered CD was released in 2001, including two bonus tracks. On 3 February 2017, the album was reissued as ''Turbo 30'' for its 30th anniversary, including two CDs of a live performance at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri, on 22 May 1986. Overview Following the success of their previous album, ''Defenders of the Faith'', Judas Priest initially recorded a double album which was intended to be released under the title ''Twin Turbos'', half of which would be more commercial and the other half would be aggressive heavy metal. This idea was scrapped. Instead, the material was split up, with the more commercial songs appearing as the album ''Turbo''. The lyrical content on ''Turbo'' was markedly different from prev ...

Screaming For Vengeance
''Screaming for Vengeance'' is the eighth studio album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released on 1 July 1982 by Columbia Records. Considered the band's commercial breakthrough in North America, it has been certified double platinum in the United States and platinum in Canada. ''Screaming for Vengeance'' spawned the hit "You've Got Another Thing Comin'", which became one of the band's signature songs and a perennial radio favourite. Recording and release ''Screaming for Vengeance'' was recorded at Ibiza Sound Studios, Ibiza, Spain (during this period, it was common for UK-based musicians to record in continental Europe for tax purposes). Mixing and overdubs were done at Beejay Recording Studios in Orlando, Florida and Bayshore Recording Studios in Coconut Grove, Florida. It showcased a harder, heavier sound than '' British Steel'' and saw the band revert back into straight heavy rock after the melodically styled ''Point of Entry''.

Point Of Entry
''Point of Entry'' is the seventh studio album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released on 27 February 1981 by Columbia Records. Following the commercial success of their previous album '' British Steel'' (1980), Priest pursued a more radio-friendly direction on ''Point of Entry''. Following the conclusion of the British Steel Tour, the band began work on their next project. By this time, the band possessed sufficient funds to fly all their equipment to the state-of-the-art Ibiza Studios in Spain. This gave ''Point of Entry'' a louder, stronger, more "live" sound than previous Judas Priest albums. Promotion Three singles were released from the album: " Heading Out to the Highway", "Don't Go" and "Hot Rockin, all of which had accompanying music videos. The song "Heading Out to the Highway" has been a staple in live shows since its release, "Desert Plains" was regularly played throughout the 1980s and in 2002 and "Hot Rockin was returned to the setlist for the 2005 Re ...

British Steel (album)
''British Steel'' is the sixth studio album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released on 11 April 1980 by CBS Records and in May 1980 by Columbia Records. It was the band's first album to feature Dave Holland on drums. During an interview with ''Wall of Sound's Educate Ebony'' podcast, Max Cavalera stated ''British Steel'' is the "essential thrash metal" album everyone needs to hear and says "I’m sure you can ask Metallica, if it wasn’t for ''British Steel'' they wouldn’t be here." Overview ''British Steel'' saw the band reprise the commercial sound they had established on ''Killing Machine''. This time, they abandoned some of the dark lyrical themes which had been prominent on their previous releases, but some of it still remains. In a June 2017 appearance on Sirius radio podcast "''Rolling Stone'' Music Now," Rob Halford said the band may have been inspired by AC/DC on some tracks after supporting them on a European tour in 1979.
