If you love heavy metal, you love Judas Priest: those are the rules and we trust you will abide by them. Any band that has survived for over five decades will have a few ups and downs along the way, and the Priest catalogue is no different, but that hasn’t made putting the albums in order any easier. Instead, what really hits home when reassessing the band’s colossal contribution to heavy music is exactly how important they have been in the evolution and continued rude health of the entire metal scene. They are the Metal Gods and we salute them right here, from first album Rocka Rolla to mighty latest effort, Invincible Shield.
