    When I saw Judas Priest in 2018, they played Guardians and Rising From Ruins. I was blown away. I mean I knew the song before, but experiencing it live with all the fire and flames in the background was pure magic 🔥

    I love the song ever since at it might as well be my favourite on Firepower.

    After Redeemer Priest went on a farewell tour. But the energy Richie brought into the band ignited something.

    He brought the fire back 🔥

    I cannot thank him enough, because oh boy did they deliver 🤘

    Redeemer Of Souls is Judas Priest's first album ever recorded without K.K. Downing.

    I can't say I like it much and I think this is Priest's weakest album with Rob. Verdict: 2,5/5

    However, esp. thanks to Richie Faulkner, this album contains hints of their next record, oh and what album that would become!

    Here's one from Wiener Neustadt 🇦🇹

    🎵 High Under Pressure by Roadwolf

    This is from their new album Midnight Lightning, which I highly recommend to all Hard Rock and Heavy Metal lovers🤘

  7. So I have no idea what #Grind is all about but surprisingly I do have a contribution to @vanessawynn 's #GrindayFriday

    I remember a friend talking about a Grind'n'Roll band from Austria with the catchy name "3 Tog Nimma Gacken Gwesn" (...I really don't want to translate that name to English, please don't make me).

    Anyhow, here is "Nussig im Obgaung":

    Also it is my contribution to @Kitty's #MittwochMetalMix

    No, Living Bad Dreams is not the best song on Painkiller. It's a solid metal ballad though.

    🎵 Living Bad Dreams
    song.link/at/i/207178505

    I know painkiller might be cheesy, lyrics are maybe not Goethe level.

    But it is so f*king entertaining, it is heavy metal A-Z. It ticks all my boxes. I never feel bored listening to it. All songs killer.
    To me, this album is almost a 5/5. But only almost, I'll give it 4,5 out of 5 shots at glory.

    #TomsNowPlaying #Painkiller

  15. 43/n #JudasPriest #Metaljourney

    After an interluding Battle Hymn Judas Priest take one shot at glory (no need for another shot).

    Best song on the album, don't @ me.

    🎵 One Shot af Glory

    #TomsNowPlaying #Painkiller #OneShotAtGlory

  16. 42/n #JudasPriest #Metaljourney

    There are also slower songs on Painkiller.
    And this one ist the best of 'em on the album, maybe even the best song on the album overall:

    🎵 A Touch of Evil
    song.link/at/i/207178408

    #TomsNowPlaying #Painkiller #ATouchOfEvil

  17. 41/n #JudasPriest #Metaljourney

    Did anybody realise by now that I think Painkiller is an above average album?

    If you haven't, listen to Between the Hammer & the Anvil because it is the best song on the album!

  18. 39/n #JudasPriest #Metaljourney

    I just wanted to write that I think that Metal Meltdown is NOT the best song on Painkiller.
    But as it is blasting my brain away I realized that I am an idiot, of course it is the best song on Painkiller!

    Here comes the Painkiller!

    🎵 #Painkiller
    song.link/y/4s1gBIVOTtk

    Oh man, Judas Priest turned it up to eleven everywhere with this album.

    It is an outstanding album, very different to all the ones before, it's like they bathed in steroids while snorting coke.

    A friend of mine always thought that this is a best of album, because there's only killer tracks.

    In my opinion, Painkiller is not even the best one on the album.

    It has hints of Painkiller everywhere.

    Ram it down... RAM IT DOWN! 👊

    🎵 Ram It Down
    song.link/y/v0jVb9TmfRM

    I love this song!

    "Thousands of cars and a million guitars
    Screaming with power in the air"

    I like the idea of a million guitars 🤘

    Judas Priest picked up the tempo and aggressiveness with their 1988 release #RamItDown

    They also introduced two things:
    - drum computers
    - teleprompters

    the latter due to Rob's serious substance abuse, which took a toll on his memory.

    I usually don't do YT links, but this is unavoidable, a must see.

    Or as YT user @jfk19780 said:

    "I'm made of metal" just as he enters the stage - what an absolute king.

    youtu.be/yMVV_HsHcX0?feature=s

    Sidenote: I am a straight dude, but oh my Glenn Tipton is a 🦊

    #TheHellion and #ElectricEye are the best openers to any metal album ever. Period.

    The album is of course #ScreamingForVengeance, and it's a cornerstone in the history of #Metal music.

    So how good is a half-assed Judas Priest album?

    Still good. Very good!

    If you are into polished, almost glammy heavy metal with a bit of hair twist, this is a Judas Priest album for you.

    It for sure is entertaining, I'll give it 3,5 out of five.

    Last one for today on my Judas Priest #Metaljourney: Point Of Entry

    This was the first album they recorded on the island of Ibiza.
    And like with Rocka Rolla, they were not happy with the outcome.
    Rob confessed that they were focused more on the party stuff and less on the songwriting stuff, hence they produced a half-assed album.

    Well, I like it. And I also like the album art. 🤷‍♂️

    We are still in the 70s on my Judas Priest #Metaljourney

    Next up is the album with two names: Killing Machine and Hell Bent For Leather.

    I'll stay with Killing Machine.

    IIRC this is the album where Priest went full leather heavy metal.

    This one might be the catchiest sing along song on it:
