Style: fundamental mean powerful heavy metal
Priest spent the seventies honing the daringly dark, heavy-duty metal to perfection, and then decided to inject more harmony and universal themes into the mix, that ended up on one of their most significant, culminating albums in 1980, which also proved to become one of essential heavy metal's all-time classics, achieving a perfect balance between power and simplicity, refining clear yet powerful sound in which precise rhythms, steel-like riffs, and memorable vocals form a flawless whole; nine glorious tracks radiate a unique creative instinct and deliver such timeless anthems as Breaking The Law, Living After Midnight, Metal Gods, where rhythmic structure, melodic nature, and relentless energy define the identity of classic metal and its irresistible appeal; recent Japanese re-issue from limited HR/HM Legend 1000 series comes with a remastered sound, two extra bonuses - rare Red, White & Blue and live version of Grinder, as well as OBI strip and extra booklet written in Nihongo
