ALBUM

Turbo (1986)

Turbo was a deliberate move toward a more polished, radio-friendly sound, incorporating synthesized guitar effects that split opinion among fans at the time. It performed well commercially but remains one of their more divisive records.

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.
