About this album

Killing Machine sharpened Judas Priest’s heavy metal attack into a tougher, more streamlined form. Released in 1978, the album marked a key step in the band’s evolution from hard rock leanings towards the steel-edged sound that would make them one of metal’s defining acts. With tracks like Delivering the Goods and Hell Bent for Leather, it balances driving riffs, twin-guitar bite and Rob Halford’s piercing vocal force. Arriving at the close of the 1970s, the record helped set the template for the band’s later triumphs and remains a crucial bridge between classic hard rock and fully fledged heavy metal.
