JUDAS PRIEST (ABO #166)



JUDAS PRIEST
METAL GODS:
THE ANTHOLOGY 1974-2008

So okay, here's another compilation for a legendary metal band. We've had Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica... Indeed, something was missing in the list. Here are the self-proclaimed Metal Gods in all their majestic grandeur!
34 years and 16 studio albums needed us to offer a massive display of the band's art hence the triple cd.
What we've tried here is to not let any big classic out, add a few more obscure songs to capture Judas Priest's musical substance. It's not as easy as it seems, I tell you.
We hope you'll enjoy the ride and will want to give Priest's discography the attention it deserves. And now: METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!




Beyond the Realms of Death (1978)


Touch of Evil (1991)

  2. Bless you for leaving "You Say Yes" from Point of Entry off this Baistophe. Great band; not a great moment from them.

    Rocka Rolla remains an all-time favorite for me, so hearing them rediscovering their prog roots a bit on Nostradamus is terrific. An important band, whether you're a metal fan or not.

    Nice work,
