About: Judas Priest

Judas Priest, originating from Birmingham, have been a defining force in heavy metal since their formation in 1969. Their landmark releases British Steel (1980) and Screaming for Vengeance (1982) fundamentally shaped the genre's sonic and visual direction. The band's 2022 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was followed by the 2024 release of Invincible Shield, establishing them as the first heavy metal band to span five decades of studio album releases.
