40 years ago Judas Priest<\/strong> released “Stained Class”<\/strong> taking them further down the road to heavy metal stardom.<\/p>\n

When one lists the most influential heavy metal albums of the 1970\u2019s, Judas Priest\u2019s \u201cStained Class\u201d cannot be excluded from the list. And yes, we are talking about heavy metal, a very fragile term in that day and age. In 1978 it was still virtually non-existent, with such benchmark bands as Black Sabbath<\/strong>, Blue \u00d6yster Cult<\/strong> and Led Zeppelin<\/strong> drifting off to other waters and the arrival of NWOBHM still couple of years off. Originally Priest\u2019s 1978 release might not have been revered as much as it is today, but in the 2010\u2019s it is recognized for the introduction of screaming guitars and the early influences on speed metal.<\/p>\n
