"Screaming For
Vengeance Special 30th Anniversary Edition" coming on September 3rd.
"One
of the most important, influential and imitated bands ever..." –
Kerrang
A
vital part of rock history - Judas Priest have spent 4 decades
writing classic songs and putting on spectacular live shows. During
this period, the band has sold in excess of 30 million albums, and
played to countless millions of fans across the globe. In 1982, they
released their eighth studio album "Screaming For Vengeance",
containing their hugely successful "You’ve Got Another Thing Coming",
the single which proved that metal could get mainstream radio airplay
in the US – leading the way for a whole generation of new metal
bands.
To
celebrate the 30 year anniversary of this epic release, Judas Priest
present you with "Screaming For Vengeance Special 30th Anniversary Edition", containing not only the re-mastered original album plus
bonus tracks, but also a live DVD from the 1983 US Festival show,
filmed in San Bernadino CA on 29th May 1983.
The
US Festival was intended to be a celebration of evolving
technologies; a marriage of music, computers, television and people -
organized by Steve Wozniak formerly of Apple Computer.
The "Screaming For Vengeance Special 30th Anniversary Edition" live DVD was
filmed at the second, and what turned out to be last, US Festival in
1983. The Sunday was the Heavy Metal Day -"It was the day new
wave died and rock n' roll took over". It set the single-day
concert attendance record for the US with an estimated 375,000
people.
Judas
Priest have this to say about this memorable day in metal history:
'On
the day that we performed, we flew in by helicopter - and the first
sight we saw was that of thousands of abandoned cars piled up around
the crests of the hills that surrounded the festival arena, which as
we went over took our breath away. For there below us, spread
throughout hundreds of acres was a massive crowd – over three
hundred thousand strong! The summer heat was raging and combined with
the hot Santa Ana winds made for a scorching metal furnace on stage.'
