 Rating:  - Priest makes a thrash album!By 1990,the thrash revolution had taken hold across the metal world,it's brutal,uncompromsing nature effectively stamped out weaker metal acts througout the land. Megadeth makes there best album that year,the legendary,"Rust in Peace". Slayer releases "Seasons in the Abyss". Metallica will begin work on there Black album,and the world was still recovering from the classics just released by Testament,Exodus and Over Kill. Priest had lost considerable numbers in there fanbase by going in a poppier direction with "Turbo" and "Ram it Down",there two weakest albums at the time. The band had been responsible for pioneering the heavy sound,perhaps creating the first thrash song with "Dissident ...

Its really good throughout... and I think its one of the best Priest out there, and I love their older stuff. I didn't think they would top SFV or SC but they have with this monster. Awesome stuff. Rating: - Appropriately titled, "Painkiller" is like speed-metal medicineWith the dawn of the '90s comes Judas Priest's "Painkiller", possibly the greatest and one of the most influential speed metal albums of all time. Between Rob's always-impressive range of vocals shattering the air, KK and Glenn's jaw-dropping guitar work and newcomer Scott Travis's complex, thundering drumming, this album is one of the absolute finest releases by the Metal Gods. There's no doubt when it comes to the fact that Judas Priest has experimented a bit over the years. Their earlier works were bluesier and more progressive, their '80s classics delved in New Wave of British Heavy Metal. In terms of the sound on this album, if compared to other artists, it's kind of like taking the thick, rich epic guitar-and-drum tone of Mercyful Fate, ... Read More: Rating: - Rightfully one of Judas Priest's best albums HANDS DOWNEnglish metal gods Judas Priest released their 12th studio album entitled Painkiller in September of 1990. After the disappointment with 1988's Ram it Down, Judas Priest reached their mid-career crisis. First, bands like Metallica and Megadeth were fighting hair bands like Bon Jovi and Poison for metal supremacy. Second, longtime drummer Dave Holland quit Judsa Priest leaving lead singer Rob Halford plus guitarists Glenn Tipton and KK Downing and bass player Ian Hill without a drummer. That all changed when they replaced the somewhat Phil Rudd-ish playing Holland with a fast footed and armed American named Scott Travis from Racer X (Scott's influences were John Bonham, Neil Peart and Alex Van Halen all rock drumming legends). Also, the band were ... Read More: Rating: - A MasterpiecePut quite simply, a masterpiece of aggression from one of the creators of modern heavy metal. Sounds as good now as it did then...A must have for any metalhead. |
