ALBUM

Stained Class (1978)

Stained Class is one of the more complex and exploratory albums in the Judas Priest catalog, with longer compositions and a darker atmosphere than their later radio-oriented work. It developed a cult following and is often cited by fans who favor the band's progressive leanings.

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.
