Judas Priest are one of the most influential and long-lasting heavy metal groups of all time. Emerging at the dawn of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Priest combined straightforward rock & roll muscle with a more theatrically minded performance presence. This sound was made more unique by the dynamic banshee wail of and the vicious dual-lead guitar attacks. While issuing metal anthems like “Breaking the Law,” “Living After Midnight,” and “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming,” Judas Priest set the pace for the genre from 1975 until 1985 with iconic albums like British Steel (1980), Screaming for Vengeance (1982), and Defenders of the Faith (1984), and helped lay the groundwork for speed and death metal.
