Judas Priest

Profile:
Judas Priest rode the wave of what was termed the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, along with artists like Iron Maiden, to find fame around the globe.

They found even more fame by getting sued by the parents of teenagers who the claim did so after listening to their "Stained Class" album and fell victim to its subliminal messages.

Singer Rob Halford left the band in 1992 to form a new group called Fight. In 2004 he rejoined his former band.
