My Teen age days were spent cranking metal on my record player. Yes. Record player. My room was covered in heavy metal posters. I can remember buying the new Defenders of the Faith album and just playing it over and over. The twin lead attack of K.K. and Glenn burning into my air guitar playing mind.
30 years later the entire album has been re-mastered to perfection!
Judas Priest is one of the most iconic and widely recognized metal band in the world. Rob Halford's stellar vocal range is countered by his almost ethereal ability to lower his range and hit you right in your soul. Priest never disappoints. And this album, now re-mastered and including some amazing live tracks, is no exception. "Turbo Lover", "Freewheel burning" are rock solid flag bearers of 80's metal. This is Priest unrivaled and unleashed.Burning slabs of molten metal tracks like "Heavy Duty", "Love Bites", and "The Sentinel" sound reborn on this disc.
As if hearing these songs wasn't enough Priest hits you in the face with not one but two live cd's. Disc 2 and 3 are live from Long Beach Arena, California on May 5th, 1984.Here we have some incredible live versions of the classics. "Sinner", "Electric Eye", "Hell Bent For Leather". You cannot live without these new versions ofpast classics. You can almost smell the smoke from Rob's motorcycle. It is all here.Live is where the Priest beast is unleashed and where you will find the most solid evidence that Judas Priest will always be "Defenders OfThe Faith"
