Judas Priest

Judas Priest are a heavy metal band from Birmingham, England, formed in 1969. They helped define the sound and look of heavy metal through the late 1970s and 1980s, building a catalog of hard-riffing records with Rob Halford's wide-ranging vocals at the center. Over more than five decades they have gone through lineup changes and stylistic shifts but remained one of the most influential acts in the genre.
