Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance


If you ask any metal fan who is their favorite or who is one of their like top 2 favorite metal bands of all time your are very likely to here the words Judas Priest. Being one of the most influential metal bands in history Judas Priest had one of their most successful albums in 1982 with "Screaming for Vengeance". This album is metal all the way. With great guitar work by Glenn Tipton & KK Downing. Rob Halford who is one of the greatest metal singers sings his ass off on this record. This was one of the first albums I ever heard from this band and I instantly became a fan.

The album starts out with the intro "The Hellion" which is always used as the start to the second track "Electric Eye" both tracks are sure to pump you up. Other great tracks are "Bloodstone", "Devil's Child", "Riding on the Wind", "Screaming for Vengeance" and of course the super smash hit "You've Got Another Thing Com'in" which to this day 25 plus years later can still be heard on rock radio.

If you are interested in Priest I highly recommend checking out this album.

Album Quote:

" Tearing up through life, million miles an hour, blinding all in sight, surging rush of power"
