Judas Priest - Killing Machine

180-gram vinyl

Limited time album download included

The album that ushered in the infamous ‘leather-and-studs' era. Released under the title Hell Bent for Leather in the U.S., the album has become synonymous both with the group's adoption of a leather-and-studs wardrobe (a byproduct of singer Rob Halford's then still closeted gay lifestyle) and with crystallizing the more concise and versatile heavy rock songwriting that would be repeatedly polished to a platinum sheen by the early '80s. Killing Machine cemented Judas Priest's standing and reputation as the world's foremost metal band of the late 1970s.
