Screaming For Vengeance (1982) (COLUMBIA) Judas Priest
Album Description:
SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE is the 8th studio album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. The album was recorded at Ibiza Sound Studios, Ibiza, Spain and mixed at Beejay Recording Studios and Bayshore Recording Studios in Florida. It was first released on July 17, 1982.
The album reached #11 in the U.K. and #17 on Billboard 200 Pop Albums and made Judas Priest much more popular than they were after their BRITISH STEEL album. It went Gold (RIAA) on October 29, 1982, Platinum on April 18, 1983 and Double Platinum on October 16, 2001, being their first album to achieve the two latter awards. This album also includes their hit "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" and one of their most-popular on-stage performances, "Electric Eye". Other album tracks, such as "The Hellion," "Riding On The Wind," "(Take These) Chains," "Devil's Child," and the title composition, are all prime metal cuts as well. The album came 15th on IGN's 25 most influential metal albums. SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE also came 10th on Metal-Rules.com's 100 greatest metal albums. During the U.S. tour to support the album in 1982, Judas Priest were supported by bands such as Iron Maiden and Uriah Heep (in support of their album ABOMINOG).
Like most other metal bands that broke through in the early 80's (Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, etc.), Judas Priest took advantage of the then-developing video medium. MTV put the clip for "You Got Another Thing Coming" in heavy rotation, and the song became one of heavy metal's all-time classic anthems. With its perfect balance of heavy riffing and melodicism, SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE is considered by many to be among the finest heavy metal albums ever made.
