  • Ep.15 Victim of Changes by Judas Priest
    Nov 12 2023

    If Black Sabbath built the home of heavy metal, Judas Priest decorated it. After their first album flopped commercially, and their label holding their purse strings tight, Judas Priest needed something outstanding if they were to survive as a band. 1976's Sad Wings of Destiny not only gave the band the success they deserved, but developed the metal genre further. Title track Victim of Changes is still one the most important and enjoyed Judas Priest tracks.
