Genre: heavy metal of the metal gods

Welcome to the 1980s, the decade that would give us Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate, Metallica, Megadeth and so many other metal gods. But it was this album that instated the original, the untouchable, metal gods Judas Priest.

The greatness and importance of this album cannot be overestimated, and I guess Scott Ian of Anthrax said it best when he described this album as the album the defined heavy metal.

It is no coincidence that almost all the tracks on this album are legendary now, including "Metal Gods", "Breaking the Law", "Living after Midnight", and the anthem "United". The opener "Rapid Fire" is breakneck fast, while "Grinder" is based around a catchy and instantly recognizable guitar riff. "Steeler" is a solid heavy metal track, and "The Rage" shows that Judas Priest are not afrid of experimentation, as its intro is basically reggae!

Enough said. Just buy this album. The Metal Gods command thee!
