Judas Priest Profile

Sunday January 15, 2006
A generation of metal fans grew up loving Judas Priest. They were huge in the late '70s into the '80s with mega-selling albums and singles on MTV and rock radio. Lead singer Rob Halford left the band in the early '90s. But the band reunited in 2004 with a triumphant concert tour and headling slot on Ozzfest 2004 where a whole new generation of metal fans experienced their greatness.

With a new studio album in 2005 the reunion was complete. If you're a new Priest fan, check out their discography and pick up some of their early albums which are really good.
