Blood stained...

Genre: thrash metal / heavy metal

As with "Turbo", "Jugulator" proved to be too big a change of direction for many old time fans to cope with. While "Turbo" took a more poppy direction, "Jugulator" is essentially a thrash metal album.

An I think that, this album is actually a great album, where Priest showed that they certainly were fully capable of playing the thrash style that was fashionable in the late 1990s - and much better than most of the thrash metal bands at the time. Blending the aggression of thrash metal of metal with a downtuning-derived darkness and elements of traditional heavy metal, Priest made a great and totally underrated album out of 'Jugulator' - releasing "Cathedral Spires", one of their best epic tracks ever.

... and 'Ripper' Owens, who is a great and versatile vocalist, did a superb job on this album.

Recommended to any fan of heavy metal and thrash metal.
