Just a small number of bands are so successful and influenced so many other musicians like JUDAS PRIEST. The number of successful bands alone, that named themselves like famous JUDAS PRIEST songs, speaks volumes. Their debut album, ‘Rocka Rolla’, was released in 1974, and since the classic ‘British Steel’ (1980), Rob Halford, K. K. Downing, Glenn Tipton, and Ian Hall together with different drummers created further genre milestones over the years: ‘Screaming For Vengeance’ (1982) and ‘Painkiller’ (1990) are part of every metal collection all over the world.
Not only is the band from England responsible for the leather look of many other bands, they also wrote countless classics. Even in 2017, there is no Rock and Metal party without ‘Breaking The Law’, ‘You’ve Got Another Thing Coming’, or ‘Living After Midnight’. Until today, JUDAS PRIEST sold more than 45 million copies of their albums worldwide. In 2009, the release of ‘British Steel’ celebrates its 30th anniversary, and during the belonging tour, the quintet performed the entire album. In 2010, an extended double album version inclusive DVD with a live show from Hollywood/ Florida is released.
After guitarist and founding member K. K. Downing left the band in 2010, the young and very talented Brit Richie Faulkner joined JUDAS PRIEST. The now rejuvenated band went on creating success after success: their performance at the final of ‘American Idol’, the release of the live DVD ‘Epitaph’, that was recorded at the Hammersmith Apollo in the UK in 2012, the 17th studio album ‘Redeemer of Souls’ in 2014 (number three in Germany), and the live release ‘Battle Cry’ on CD/ DVD/ BluRay, that was filmed during the Wacken Open Air in Germany in 2015.
In 2017, JUDAS PRIEST were nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and got ready to ignite the new studio album ‘Firepower’ produced by Andy Sneap and Tom Allom. The album gained worldwide success, applause by critics, and the band went on the sold-out ‘Firepower World Tour 2018’. In 2019, the band continued the tour, and it will go on in 2020 according to the motto “50 Heavy Metal Years” to celebrate a remarkable career! More information here: www.judaspriest.com
