Heavy metal historians will regard EPITAPH as the most far-reaching live concert recording in the band’s career. The set revisits the climactic closing date of the 50-week Epitaph World Tour, captured live at London\u2019s HMV Hammersmith Apollo on May 26, 2012. Adding to the drama is the fact that this was Judas Priest\u2019s final large-scale world tour ever. EPITAPH\u2019s 23 tracks represent at least one song from every one of the band\u2019s 14 studio albums, from 1974\u2019s Rocka Rolla (‘Never Satisfied’) to 2008\u2019s Nostradamus (‘Prophecy’).<\/p>\n
In the special case of British Steel, four songs are featured: ‘Rapid Fire, ‘Metal Gods’, ‘Breaking The Law’ and perennial set closer, ‘Living After Midnight’. Others exempted from the one-song-quota are the LPs which appeared before and after British Steel. The first of these is 1979\u2019s Hell Bent For Leather (UK title: Killing Machine) which lends the title song as well as ‘The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown)’. The other LP is 1982\u2019s Screaming For Vengeance, source of ‘The Hellion’, ‘Electric Eye’ and ‘You\u2019ve Got Another Thing Coming’.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have epitomized the genre with their Harley riding frontman, rapid-fire guitar assaults, and spectacular stage shows,\u201d wrote journalist Bryan Reesman in his liner notes for 2004’s leather-bound, metal-studded Metalogy box set. \u201cInfluential, innovative, and exuberant in expression,\u201d he wrote, \u201cthey are the true Metal Gods who have been as unwavering in their desire to expand the boundaries of their music as they have been in crossing international borders to deliver it to their disciples.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUnabashedly committed to their cause, and unrepentant in proclaiming themselves a true heavy metal band even when others have shied away from the term, Judas Priest have forever been defenders of the faith.\u201d<\/p>\n
