Judas Priest: Painkiller (LP 30th anniversary)

Anyone who was plagued by shallow wannabe rockers from the USA in the 80s could finally be helped with a simple recipe in 1990. "Painkiller" by Judas Priest was the most brutal and heaviest album that a heavy metal band had ever recorded. There were no compromises, no chart-worthy ballads, no hairdos and no milquetoasts on the mic. JP played like berserkers and really swept through the ear canals. To mark the 35th anniversary of Judas Priest's legendary 1990 album "Painkiller", the album was remastered from analog tapes by Judas Priest's longtime producer Tom Allom and Matt Colton, the Music Producers Guild's Mastering Engineer of the Year. The album contains the great title track "Painkiller" as well as "Night Crawler" and "A Touch Of Evil".
