Closing out the week with some Judas Priest. Priest along with Sabbath are credited as the Godfathers of Heavy Metal. Led by the Metal God himself Rob Halford, 'British Steel' marked a high point in the bands career as a definitive heavy metal band. Originally released in 1980, 'British Steel' kicks off with 'Rapid Fire' and from there the album doesn't look back. Containing the fan favs 'Breaking The Law' and 'Living After Midnight' this was every metal heads go to album. The band of course continues on today and continues to tour all over the world despite losing KK Downing. This is one of the albums every self respecting metal head needs to own. The version uploaded is one with the two bonus tracks of 'Red, White and Blue' and 'Grinder (Live)'.
Priest was one of those metal bands I got into very early on in my metal youth. There is no one who can match Halford's scream or voice. I saw Priest live last year on the Epitaph Tour and the band still has it, Halford still has the pipes. Priest just stands as one of the timeless metal bands. Always a good choice when you driving down the road in your Camero. Perfect for that drunken evening too.
