Judas Priest: Pain Killer

Edwin Pouncey, Vox, November 1990

HOT ON THE heels of their recent court victory (where Judas Priest were found not guilty of causing the deaths of two young men through their music) comes a mighty rumble of drum thunder and an agonised shriek from vocalist Rob Halford…. They're back with a vengeance, totally unrepentant. Judas Priest perform pyrotechnic metal. The kind of ear assault that sounds powerful enough to bring down tower blocks or cause jet planes to fall from the sky. For those who are about to die, try a taste of Pain Killer and die harder!
