Judas Priest – Discografía (1974-2018)

La longeva banda inglesa de heavy metal Judas Priest lanza a la venta el día de hoy, 9 de marzo, su décimo octavo disco de estudio titulado Firepower. En celebración, vamos comentando un poco de la trayectoria de esta agrupación para después escuchar este nuevo álbum y de paso, las otros diecisiete producciones.

Judas Priest fue formada en 1969 por el vocalista Al Atkins y el bajista Brian “Bruno” Stapenhill, a quien se le ocurrió nombrar así a la banda por la canción “The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest” de Bob Dylan. Sería hasta 1974 cuando la agrupación lanzó su primer disco, Rocka Rolla, aunque ni Atkins ni Stapenhill pertenecían ya al grupo. Dos años después publicaron Sad Wings of Destiny, con el que ya comenzaron a tener un poco de éxito comercial. La primera producción dentro de una gran disquera se tituló Sin After Sin (1977) a la que le siguieron Stained Class (1978, Killing Machine (1978), British Steel (1980) y Point of Entry (1981). Ganaron más popularidad en Estados Unidos gracias a la canción “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin'” del disco Screaming for Vengeance (1982). Terminaron la década de 1980 con los álbumes Defenders of the Faith (1984), Turbo (1986), Ram It Down (1988) y Painkiller (1990). El ritmo de la realización de nuevas producciones musicales se alentaría a partir de aquí, ya que para que sus seguidores tuvieran en su poder el nuevo disco de esta agrupación tuvieron que esperar siete años más hasta que se publicó Jugulator (1997). En este siglo, los álbumes que han lanzado (sin contar el más nuevo) son Demolition (2001), Angel of Retribution (2005), Nostradamus (2008) y Redeemer of Souls (2014).

En los siguientes reproductores podrán escuchar todos estos discos que están ordenados cronológicamente (por lo que si desean disfrutar de Firepower, lo encontrarán al final de la entrada).
