Judas Priest’s Painkiller (1990) album is the first to feature drummer Scott Travis, who replaced Dave Holland in 1989. It is also vocalist Rob Halford’s last album with the band until Angel of Retribution (2005). I never realized how common it was for band members to leave and return to the band years later. It...

To be honest, I only bought Stained Class (1978) because of the controversy surrounding this album, specifically for the band’s cover of “Better by You, Better Than Me” by Spooky Tooth. In 1990, 12 years after the album’s release, Judas Priest was sued by the parents of a teenager, James Vance, who entered a suicide... Continue Reading →
Who’s in the mood for some Judas Priest? Today, I’ll be reviewing the band’s third studio album titled, Sin After Sin (1977). Produced by Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover, it is the last album to feature the former gothic font for the Judas Priest logo. The line-up that played on the album includes Rob Halford...

I was least excited for this album review because it’s the longest album I’ve covered on my blog so far (almost an hour and 22 minutes total). But you know what, I can’t put it off anymore! I’m doing it! I’m finally going to review Iron Maiden’s Senjutsu (2021) album, the band’s first studio album... Continue Reading →
When James Durbin released The Beast Awakens (2021) back in February, I thought the album was ok, so I didn’t buy a physical copy of it then. However, as time went by, I decided to give the album another chance because Durbin was kind enough to like some of my comments on his Instagram posts.... Continue Reading →
James Durbin is one of my favorite contestants that ever came from American Idol (2002 - 2016 and 2018 - present) because of his story, he took risks when he performed on stage, and his love for heavy metal. He wasn’t just a heavy metal singer though, and this American Idol Season 10 Highlights: James... Continue Reading →

Of course, the performers will sing the typical hits like “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Under Pressure,” “We Will Rock You,” and “We Are the Champions,” according to uDiscover Music. Thanks,... Continue Reading →
It’s time for another edition in the Songs with the Same Title series. I previously took on American rock band Styx, so if you haven’t already, you can check out that post here! I’ve wanted to do Black Sabbath for a while and I even selected the songs I wanted to use, but I deleted... Continue Reading →
Thanks to Sea of Tranquility, I became fascinated with the new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM). Pete Pardo and Martin Popoff shared their top 10 NWOBHM albums and one of the albums mentioned was Savage’s Loose ‘N Lethal (1983). Savage turned out to be a very obscure band; there are no Wikipedia articles for... Continue Reading →
I was fascinated by the new wave of British heavy metal, so I thought why not do a post about one of the most notable bands from that movement, Saxon, since Sea of Tranquility talks very highly of them. What better way to get a taste of Saxon than to include them in my Songs... Continue Reading →
