A vital part of rock history – Judas Priest have spent 4 decades writing classic songs and putting on spectacular live shows. During this period, the band has sold in excess of 30 million albums, and played to countless millions of fans across the globe.\u00a0 In 1982, they released their eighth studio album SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE, containing their hugely successful You\u2019ve Got Another Thing Coming, the single which proved that metal could get mainstream radio airplay in the US \u2013 leading the way for a whole generation of new metal bands. To celebrate the 30 year anniversary of this epic release, Judas Priest present you with SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE \u2013 SPECIAL 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION, containing not only the re-mastered original album plus bonus tracks, but also a live DVD from the 1983 US Festival show, filmed in San Bernadino CA on 29th May 1983. <\/p>\n

The US Festival was intended to be a celebration of evolving technologies; a marriage of music, computers, television and people – organized by Steve Wozniak formerly of Apple Computer.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE \u2013 SPECIAL 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION Live DVD was filmed at the second, and what turned out to be last, US Festival in 1983. The Sunday was the Heavy Metal Day -“It was the day new wave died and rock n’ roll took over”. It set the single-day concert attendance record for the US with an estimated 375,000 people. <\/p>\n

Judas Priest have this to say about this memorable day in metal history:<\/p>\n

\u2018On the day that we performed, we flew in by helicopter – and the first sight we saw was that of thousands of abandoned cars piled up around the crests of the hills that surrounded the festival arena, which as we went over took our breath away. For there below us, spread throughout hundreds of acres was a massive crowd \u2013 over three hundred thousand strong! The summer heat was raging and combined with the hot Santa Ana winds made for a scorching metal furnace on stage.\u2019<\/p>\n

BIO: Since 1974, Judas Priest has been one of heavy metal\u2019s most successful bands, issuing such all-time classic albums as BRITISH STEEL in 1980, SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE in 1982,\u00a0 DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH in 1984 and PAINKILLER in 1990 and such arena-rocking anthems as Breaking the Law, Living After Midnight, and You\u2019ve Got Another Thing Coming. However, Priest\u2019s influence goes far beyond their music – they were the first metal band to embrace the \u2018leather and studs look\u2019, a fashion that has since become synonymous with the musical genre. Additionally, Rob Halford\u2019s powerful four-and-a-half octave vocal range and the twin guitar harmonies of Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing have been emulated by countless metal bands in Priest\u2019s wake.<\/p>\n
