Judas Priest, a powerhouse in the world of heavy metal, has spent more than 50 years crafting a legendary career. Emerging from Birmingham in 1969, the band originally solidified their place in music history with iconic albums like “Sad Wings of Destiny” and “Sin After Sin” known for metal anthems like “Sinner” and “Hell Bent for Leather.”

The '80s marked their pinnacle with classic albums “British Steel,” “Screaming for Vengeance,” and “Defenders of the Faith,” which generated hits like “Breaking the Law.”

Amid health setbacks and the pandemic, Priest persevered with a 50th-anniversary tour and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.
