JUDAS PRIEST ‘Screaming For Vengeance’ – Special 30th Anniversary Edition (CD/DVD) Releases September 4th, 2012
JUDAS PRIEST – Back in July of 1982, the eighth studio album, Screaming For Vengeance, from Judas Priest was released. This album was an instant Metal classic. Now, in 2012, this album is iconic. On September 4th, Screaming For Vengeance – Special 30th Anniversary Edition (CD/DVD) will be released via Legacy.
I remember this album being released in ’82 like it was yesterday! I just cannot believe it’s been 30 years though. Screaming For Vengeance is exhibit #1 of what timeless Heavy Metal sounds like. Multi- Platinum and incredibly influential to the world of Metal. I knew back in ’82 that this album was sensational; little did I know that I would look upon it now with such immeasurable Metal reverence. Metal be thy name.

Great CD. I can’t believe it is thirty years old as well.

Another grand point about this album is the artwork… I can guarantee the original artwork was not computer generated!
I’ve been staring at the cover, like I usually do with albums, LOL! This new cover art is essentially the same, with color changes to The Hellion and background. I don’t know if this new cover art was an “alternate” original piece or something done specifically for this 30th anniversary. I’m gonna research about it…

Be interesting to find out more about that. I thought that cover looked different.

Couldn’t agree with you more Tokyo5! Whoa and Hell Yeah \m/
It’s a deep-cut album, cause I still love “(Take These) Chains” and consider it a hidden gem on this album. 🙂
