When the world thinks of heavy metal in its pure, potent, undiluted
form, it is none other than the Metal Gods, Judas Priest, that
instantly come to mind. Chrome and black leather, studs and whips
and chains, a chopper on stage to announce the coming... these are
the tools of the trade for Rob Halford and his legendary band of
Birmingham bashers. Indeed, the Priest are the bringers of metal's
biggest anthems. "Breaking the Law," "Living after Midnight,"
"Exciter," "Electric Eye," "Victim of Changes," and especially
"You've Got Another Thing Comin'"... these are songs woven into the
fabric of metal's wild ride, Priest having been there since its
origins, revving up crowds as superstars certainly for 30 years of
that run. Lifelong fan and preeminent metal historian Martin Popoff
examines the Priest's rich legacy from 1974 to 1984, album by
album, anthem by anthem, in this hugely expanded update on the
early years portion of his long out-of-print Heavy Metal
Painkillers book. Having interviewed all the principals in the band
repeatedly over the years, Popoff gives a first-hand account of
Priest's rocky, often comical ride through the '70s, and through
the gold and platinum records of the '80s, expertly detailing the
long road to the arena headline status the band now enjoys as heavy
metal's proudest ambassadors. Judas Priest: Decade of Domination
includes extensive commentary from reclusive drummer Les Binks,
along with new interview footage from Tom Allom, Chris Tsangarides,
K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton, Ian Hill, Rob Halford, and various
other insiders who are part of the Priest saga during this
hallowed, golden era. Also included are tons of memorabilia shots,
live photography and two tipped-in colour sections. To reiterate,
this is the most extensive analysis ever in book form of: Rocka
Rolla, Sad Wings of Destiny, Sin After Sin, Killing Machine/Hell
Bent for Leather, Unleashed in the East, British Steel, Point of
Entry, Screaming for Vengeance and Defenders of the Faith-song by
song, lots of stories, looking at licks and fills, and what's in
the right channel and left, lyric analysis... the deepest dive ever
on these records.
