painkiller is such a great priest album. and this "we are vinyl" issue LP sounds fantastic. very clear! i highly recommend getting a copy of this on vinyl. i definitely think Painkiller is the heaviest Judas Priest Album. This item: Painkiller.

The title track to Judas Priest’s 1990 album, this song opened the album with a now famous machine gun drum solo, and shows off Rob Halford’s incredible vocal range. The track is one of many by Priest that chronicled the exploits of a fictional eing imagined by the band members. This time, we have some kind of metal angel (riding a motorcyle, of course) that’s going to save mankind from destruction. The album was one of Priest’s thrashiest offerings, and included several tracks that came to be considered classics in heavy metal music  . That statement that ‘He is the Painkiller’ – you get 30,000 metalheads chanting it at a festival and it’s a great feeling. It’s become a very important song for Priest, and for metal too, I think.

All those changes come into sharp focus as soon as the title cut of Painkiller starts - Travis' thunderous (and crisp-sounding) percussive maelstrom lights an immediate fire under the bandmembers' asses; Glenn Tipton and . Downing tear through a crushing, diabolical riff; and Rob Halford starts shrieking like a wicked witch, giving perhaps the most malevolent-sounding performance of his.
