Genre: Rock, Heavy Metal | Label: Columbia | Release Date: 10 May 2010 Judas Priest was one of the most influential heavy metal bands of the '70s,
spearheading the New Wave of British Heavy Metal late in the decade.
Decked out in leather and chains, the band fused the gothic doom of
Black Sabbath with the riffs and speed of Led Zeppelin, as well as
adding a vicious two-lead guitar attack; in doing so, they set the pace
for much popular heavy metal from 1975 until 1985, as well as laying the
groundwork for the speed and death metal of the '80s.
Formed in Birmingham, England, in 1970, the group's core members were
guitarist K.K. Downing and bassist Ian Hill. Joined by Alan Atkins and
drummer John Ellis, the band played their first concert in 1971. Atkins'
previous band was called Judas Priest, yet the members decided it was
the best name for the new group. The band played numerous shows
throughout 1971; during the year, Ellis was replaced by Alan Moore; by
the end of the year, Chris Campbell replaced Moore. After a solid year
of touring the U.K., Atkins and Campbell left the band in 1973 and were
replaced by vocalist Rob Halford and drummer John Hinch. They continued
touring, including a visit to Germany and the Netherlands in 1974. By
the time the tour was completed, they had secured a record contract with
Gull, an independent U.K. label. Before recording their debut album,
Judas Priest added guitarist Glenn Tipton.
Rocka Rolla was released in September of 1974 to almost no attention.
The following year, they gave a well-received performance at the Reading
Festival and Hinch departed the band; he was replaced by Alan Moore.
Later that year, the group released Sad Wings of Destiny, which earned
some positive reviews. However, the lack of sales was putting the band
in a dire financial situation, which was remedied by an international
contract with CBS Records. Sin After Sin (1977) was the first album
released under that contract; it was recorded with Simon Phillips, who
replaced Moore. The record received positive reviews and the band
departed for their first American tour, with Les Binks on drums.
When they returned to England, Judas Priest recorded 1978's Stained
Class, the record that established them as an international force in
metal. Along with 1979's Hell Bent for Leather (Killing Machine in the
U.K.), Stained Class defined the nascent New Wave of British Heavy Metal
movement. A significant number of bands adopted Priest's leather-clad
image and hard, driving sound, making their music harder, faster, and
louder. After releasing Hell Bent for Leather, the band recorded the
live album Unleashed in the East (1979) in Japan; it became their first
platinum album in America. Les Binks left the band in 1979; he was
replaced by former Trapeze drummer Dave Holland. Their next album,
1980's British Steel, entered the British charts at number three,
launched the hit singles "Breaking the Law" and "Living After Midnight,"
and was their second American platinum record; Point of Entry, released
the following year, was nearly as successful.
At the beginning of the '80s, Judas Priest was a top concert attraction
around the world, in addition to being a best-selling recording artist.
Featuring the hit single "You've Got Another Thing Comin'," Screaming
for Vengeance (1982) marked the height of their popularity, peaking at
number 17 in America and selling over a million copies. Two years later,
Defenders of the Faith nearly matched its predecessor's performance,
yet metal tastes were beginning to change, as Metallica and other
speed/thrash metal groups started to grow in popularity. That shift was
evident on 1986's Turbo, where Judas Priest seemed out of touch with
current trends; nevertheless, the record sold over a million copies in
America on the basis of name recognition alone. However, 1987's
Priest...Live! was their first album since Stained Class not to go gold.
Ram It Down (1988) was a return to raw metal and returned the group to
gold status. Dave Holland left after this record and was replaced by
Scott Travis for 1990's Painkiller. Like Ram It Down, Painkiller didn't
make an impact outside the band's die-hard fans, yet the group was still
a popular concert act.
In the early '90s, Rob Halford began his own thrash band, Fight, and
soon left Judas Priest. In 1996, following a solo album by Glenn Tipton,
the band rebounded with a new young singer, Tim "Ripper" Owens
(formerly a member of a Priest tribute band and of Winter's Bane). They
spent the next year recording Jugulator amongst much self-perpetuated
hype concerning Priest's return to their roots. The album debuted at
number 82 on the Billboard album charts upon its release in late 1997.
Halford had by then disbanded Fight following a decrease in interest and
signed with Trent Reznor's Nothing label with a new project, Two. In
the meantime, the remaining members of Judas Priest forged on with '98
Live Meltdown, a live set recorded during their inaugural tour with
Ripper on the mike. Around the same time, a movie was readying
production to be based on Ripper's rags-to-riches story of how he got to
front his all-time favorite band. Although Priest was originally
supposed to be involved with the film, they ultimately pulled out, but
production went on anyway without the band's blessing (the movie, Rock
Star, was eventually released in the summer of 2001, starring Mark
Wahlberg in the lead role). Rob Halford in the meantime disbanded Two
after just a single album, 1997's Voyeurs, and returned back to his
metal roots with a quintet simply named Halford. The group issued their
debut in 2000, Resurrection, following it with a worldwide tour that saw
the new group open up Iron Maiden's Brave New World U.S. tour, and
issue a live set one year later (which included a healthy helping of
Priest classics) Live Insurrection.
In 2001 the Ripper-led Priest issued a new album, Demolition, and
Priest's entire back catalog for Columbia was reissued with remastered
sound and bonus tracks. In 2003 the band including Halford collaborated
on the liner notes and song selections for their mammoth
career-encompassing box Metalogy, a collaboration that brought Halford
back into the fold. Owens split from the group amicably in 2003,
allowing the newly reunited heavy metal legends to plan their global
live concert tour in 2004, with their sixteenth studio album, Angel of
Retribution, to be released the following year. In 2008 the band
released Nostradamus, a sprawling, two-disc conceptual piece that
charted the life and times of the famous French seer. On December 7,
2010, Priest broke the news that their upcoming Epitaph world tour would
be their last. The following month, however, they clarified that they
were not disbanding, announcing that they were working on new material.
Before the tour began, founding member Downing left the band over
differences with the other members and their management; he was replaced
by Richie Faulkner.
Priest worked on their new album during the tour, which ran until 2012.
The album's release was delayed several times, but it was eventually
announced that it would see the light of day in July 2014. Entitled
Redeemer of Souls, it was described by the band as a traditional,
crowd-pleasing return to their roots. Coinciding with the announcement
of the album's release, they backtracked on their earlier pronouncement
and revealed details of another new world tour.
