Redeemer of Souls is the upcoming seventeenth studio album by heavy metal band Judas Priest, set to be released on 14 July 2014.

This release includes a bonus DVD featuring seven live tracks and a 40-minute documentary film. Judas Priest: Rob Halford (vocals); Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing (guitar); Ian Hill (bass guitar); Scott Travis (drums). Recording information: Sound City, Los Angeles, California (2005); The Old Smithy, Worchestershire, UK. For years, the metal rumor mill hinted at a reunion that would find vocalist Rob Halford returning to the helm of Judas Priest. Fans of the legendary British heavy-metal group were never satisfied with the mixed results of Halford's various solo outings or the nu-metal leanings of a Priest led by singer Tim "Ripper" Owens. Finally, in 2004, Halford reconvened with the rest of the PAINKILLER-era lineup for touring and preparations for a new album. Under the guidance of producer and longtime Halford collaborator Roy Z, the mighty Priest rises again with 2005's ANGEL OF RETRIBUTION. "Judas Rising" and "Demonizer" carry on the PAINKILLER tradition, with fast-driving double-bass drumming, the fierce twin-guitar attack of Glenn Tipton & K.K. Downing, and metal god Halford singing as powerfully as ever. Offsetting the heavier songs are crunchy, mid-tempo tracks in the spirit of the classic Priest sound, most notably "Wheels of Fire" and "Worth Fighting For." The sinister epic "Hellrider" features more signature dramatic guitar work, and the track is complemented by the metallic ballads "Angel" and "Eulogy." ANGEL OF RETRIBUTION answers the prayers of Judas Priest devotees, and introduces a band reborn to a new generation of metal fans.

Ori Release '97. 13th studio album by the British heavy metal band. It is the first of two studio albums featuring vocalist Tim 'Ripper' Owens. 10 trax.

Painkiller is a 1990 gold-certified album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest, their 12th studio album. The album was recorded at Miraval Studios, Brignoles, France in early 1990, and mixed at Wisseloord Studios, Hilversum, the Netherlands later that year. It was the first album with current drummer Scott Travis, who was recruited from the band Saints Or Sinners. The original LP, cassette and CD versions were released on 3 September 1990. A re-mastered CD was released in May 2001. The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance at the 20 February 1991 33rd Annual Grammy Awards.
Following the disappointing sales of the album Ram It Down,[citation needed] which was itself an attempt at reconciling with the public over the perceived sellout, Turbo,[citation needed] Judas Priest decided to return to a less commercial sound by bringing some speed metal elements to the mix; which resulted in their most critically acclaimed album in a decade.
Following the tour for this album, singer Rob Halford left the band in May 1992 and maintained little contact with his former bandmates throughout the 1990s. The reason for this was the growing tension in the band. Halford wanted to create his new band, Fight, and had to legally leave Judas Priest to allow his creation to be sold. Judas Priest declared that they did not exist anymore after Halford had left. However, they would record and tour a few years later, with singer Tim 'Ripper' Owens, on the albums Jugulator and Demolition.

专辑简介这张专辑在保持风格多样的同时，更突出了Judas Priest特有的速度节奏和力量。Judas Priest对节奏的把握实在是无与伦比，音乐的力量远不是靠疯狂的速度、狂躁的吉他失真和直达人类听觉极限的嘈杂所能完全达到的。以上这些只是一些手段，如果不能很好的组织的话，只能是对力量的肆意挥霍，只有缺乏组织能力的乐队才只能依靠这些简单的物理手段来招徕听众。而Judas Priest组织音乐的核心手段就是??节奏！

Japanese digitally remastered limited pressing of the band's 1978 album with 2 added bonus tracks 'Fight For Your Life' & 'Riding On The Wind' (live). Packaged in a miniature LP sleeve. CBS. 2005.

Stained Class is the fourth album by the British heavy metal group Judas Priest, released in February 1978. A popular album in the band's catalogue, Stained Class showcased a more streamlined songwriting style. The production is crisper, clearer, and cleaner than any of their preceding albums. This is the only Judas Priest album to feature songwriting by all five members (one of Ian Hill's few contributions to the songwriting process for the band, and the sole contribution thereof by then-drummer Les Binks – the guitar riff for Beyond the Realms of Death). Following this album the band broke its songwriting team down to Rob Halford, K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton, with occasional contributions solely by Tipton.
The sleeve artwork, by Roslav Szaybo at CBS Records, introduced their classic logo, replacing the Gothic Script logo of earlier releases. Stained Class was highly influential in the development of the speed metal subgenre and was the first Judas Priest album to dent the Billboard 200. The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added. In 2004, UK magazine Metal Hammer named Stained Class the heaviest metal album of all time.

身着黑色皮革与金属饰品便是英国重金属天王犹大牧师队（Judas Priest）带给金属乐迷的强烈感官印象，其刚猛无比的外表就如同他们的音乐一般，力道十足且不流于造作，是摇滚界的不朽传奇！在他们30年的辛苦经营之下，犹大牧师乐队的精神早已烙印在每位金属子民的心中。
犹大牧师乐队这支来自英国的金属乐队，在1970年于伯明罕成立，当时是由吉他手KK·唐宁（K.K.Downing）和贝司手伊安·希尔（Ian Hill）这两个同校好友，以及另外找来的主唱阿兰·阿特金斯（AlanAtkins）和鼓手约翰·伊里斯（John Ellis）所组成。
后来在主唱罗伯·哈福德（Rob Halford）加入后，好不容易才与英国当地的一家小公司签下合约，而且乐队又再得到一员猛将———吉他手格兰·泰普顿（Glenn Tipton），犀利无匹的双吉他就此成为乐团后来的招牌之一。但是首张专辑并没有引起太大的回应。幸好到了第二张专辑《哀伤命运之翼》（Sad Wings Of Destiny）时，引起主流大厂牌CBS的注意，慧眼识英雄地将犹大牧师乐队签了下来，并且在1977年发行了专辑《罪后罪》（Sin After Sin），从此乐队的音乐事业便一飞冲天。
1976年Sad Wings Of Destiny（命运悲伤之翼）发行了。由于是由一个小地下公司发行的，这给乐队带来了很大的压力，因为公司不能给他们提供任何支持。实际上他们还得靠白天工作来完成演出。

Sad Wings Of Destiny是于1975年12月在伦敦的Morgan录音室录制的，1976年3月发行。尽管公司没有为他们提供资金，他们还是在英国进行了广泛的演出。在这困难的时候乐队成员都紧紧地团结在一起，最终国际大公司CBSColumbia提供给他们一笔资金。多年以后，这张专辑被誉为乐队最伟大的作品之一( I think it´s the best)，和之后发行的Stain Class并驾齐驱。
回首过去三十年来，犹大牧师乐队在重金属方面的影响与贡献绝非一言两语可以道尽，不论未来还有什么样的音乐类型出现，始终坚持纯正重金属走向的犹大牧师乐队，必定是摇滚乐史上璀璨耀眼的一页。
