The road to heavy metal domination has to begin somewhere, doesn’t it?

Before the arenas, pyrotechnics, and leather, Judas Priest were like a lot of young bands from Birmingham, England. Hungry and determined. 

Unsatisfied with the lackluster production and tepid response of their debut album, the band knew something needed to change in order for them to breakthrough. 

Here, they began to sculpt their signature sound: soaring vocals, electrifying melodies, and thundering riffs. It wasn’t perfected, but it was a damn fine start.

Join us this week as we celebrate Judas Priest and their classic sophomore album, Sad Wings of Destiny
