I have to say that Judas Priest has Always Amazed me with their Evolution. They are Truly tied into the center of the Universe and that Single Sonic Sound, that is Vibrating Constantly.. And They did reach out and Hold onto that Note, and Their Minds Do See..
From Sad Wings of Destiny to Rock-a- Rolla to Defenders of the Faith and every album in between, then you can't top each one you think . Then PAINKILLER , truly one of the Greatest Truest, Hard, Heavy, Driven, Searing, Through the Stratousphere, Ulrimate, HEAVY METAL albums of all time, and truly covers the essence of Heavy Metal and raises the bar yet again to a level that few shall ever touch. But Defenders of the Faith and all the other albums previous made you feel the same.
Judas Priest truly lead the way side by side with a few select bands. I have to say that Judas Priest has done the best job at Evolving , yet going seemingly back to the roots, but by starting a whole new strain of Adrenalin Pumping, Euphoricly Inducing, making you remember you ARE 10 FEET TALL, CAN TAKE ON THE WORLD, CONQUERING EVERY CHALLENGE AND DREAM YOU HAVE, NEVER GIVE UP, ANYTHINGS POSSIBLE, SKIES THE LIMIT, STRENGTH AND HONOR, ON AND ON AND ON....
Straight Forward, Hard Rockin, Heavy Metal , in its Rawest Form.... True Pure Hard Driving Hot Molten Chrome Fire Breathing Beast . Like hammering through the gears kickin your was side ways as catch traction feeling the torque crush you back in the seat spraying asphalt to the sky in a vicious 69 Cobra Jet Mach1 Mustang as you take flight down the highway...
The musicianship is so tight and Halford handles his voice all in away you feel like it's completely natural in Earth Shaking Thunder Rolling Lighting Striking Full Moon Rising in the middle of a Glorious Hot Summer Day.
No matter what I say, My words fall far short in comparison to the epic fire this song and Never the Heroes reignited in me.
I wish I could write well enough to lay out a proper review, but that's not my job obviously... But it says something when a song makes you want to go ramble on about it.
These are the first songs I've heard that make Me feel like a band stripped it down to its raw driven essence and nailed it.
