 (50 Customer Reviews)
Judas Priest's 1990 release, PAINKILLER, shows the band returning to ferocious metal after such musical detours as 1986's TURBO. It also proved to be the British band's last outing with original singer Rob Halford. Drummer Scott Travis (ex-Racer ... Full DescriptionX) makes his Priest debut here, while the sound and songwriting is comparable to thrash/speed metal.
The album-opening title track is one of Priest's heaviest and greatest songs (brace yourself before it kicks in!), and the band takes no prisoners on such titles as "Hell Patrol" and "A Touch of Evil." An inspired way to close out Halford-era Priest.
Principally recorded at Miraval Studios, Brignoles, France in 1990. Includes liner notes by Judas Priest.
Digitally remastered by Jon Astley.
Judas Priest: Rob Halford (vocals); K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton (guitar); Ian Hill (bass); Scott Travis (drums).
Q (2/91) - Recommended as one of the five best metal albums of 1990. - "..A tight, aggressive and potent package from a band which is almost as old as metal itself. It followed the oft-documented US court case, from which they emerged triumphant."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.52) - "A powerhouse performance par excellence....Incredible songs. Amazing production..." Hide Description Judas Priest Painkiller Songs Painkiller Music Review Average Rating: (4.9 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Fast, Ferocious and HEAVY!!!
Now folks, this is what REAL Heavy Metal is in it purest form.
Its apparent after 2 albums (Turbo/Ram it Down) which catered to more commercial sensibilities, Judas Priest went back to their roots with a vengeance and then some. It certain they were also being influenced by all the thrash bands which were coming out of the States around this time. And new drummer Scott Travis who previously was in the speed metal outfit Cacophony with later Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman, surely did his share to up the tempo. And its worth noting that Megadeth's Rust in Peace and Painkiller were both released in 1990, two pure Metal masterpieces in the same year...
As for the music on this disc, you will never hear a Priest album that is Faster, more Ferocious or HEAVIER!!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No The Drums From HELL!!!
Scott Travis is IMO the best heavy metal drummer of all time. The fury on the title track, Hell Patrol, Between the Hammer and the Anvil, and All Guns Blazing is incredible. Also listen to A Touch of Evil. Halford's primal scream proves a good match for Travis' furioso drumming. A+++++++

Painkiller album
 $7.59    
Also available in a 3-pack with BRITISH STEEL and POINT OF ENTRY.
In the early '80s, a new musical movement, dubbed "The New Wave of British Metal," swept across England. The conspirators include such heavy bands as Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Saxon, and Def Leppard, but Judas Priest is often credited as the originator and leader of the pack. Rob Halford's vocal histrionics and the dual guitar attack of K.K. Downing and Glen Tipton mesmerized metal-heads everywhere. While Priest had been together since the early-'70s, the band's big U.S. breakthrough came with 1982's SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE.
Like most other metal bands that broke through in the early '80s (Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, etc.), Judas Priest took advantage of the then-developing video medium. MTV put the clip for "You Got Another Thing Coming" in heavy rotation, and the song became one of heavy metal's all-time classic anthems. Other album tracks, such as "The Hellion," "Electric Eye," "(Take These) Chains," "Devil's Child," and the title composition, were all prime metal cuts. With its perfect balance of heavy riffing and melodicism, SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE is considered ...

Having achieved their greatest chart success yet with 1982's SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE, in 1984 Judas Priest released the stylistically similar DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH.

Painkiller music CDs
$10.39
Principally recorded at Chipping Norton Studios, Cotswold, England in 1978. Includes liner notes by Judas Priest.
After the stunning success of 1977's SIN AFTER SIN, Judas Priest offered another exceptional album with its follow-up one year later, STAINED CLASS. Though disco and punk were grabbing all the headlines in the late '70s, Priest turned a deaf ear to these new musical developments, and stuck to its heavy metal guns. Rarely has metal sounded so inspired and precise as this album's ...

Painkiller songs

The British version of this release is titled KILLING MACHINE.
Principally recorded at Utopia, Basing Street and CBS Studios, London, England in 1978. Includes liner notes by Judas Priest.
Judas Priest's 1979 release, HELL BENT FOR LEATHER (titled KILLING MACHINE in Europe), continued the band's late '70s winning streak, which included such metal classics as SAD WINGS OF DESTINY, SIN AFTER SIN, and STAINED CLASS. Such deliciously heavy tracks as "Delivering the Goods," the title track, the U.K. hit single "Take On the World," and a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged ...
| | Judas Priest Turbo CD (1986) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Painkiller album
$10.39 
After seeing the chart success that such acts as Van Halen and Motley Crue were enjoying with their melodic hard rock sound, Judas Priest decided to give it a shot with their 1986 release, TURBO. While it performed respectably on the charts, TURBO wasn't the big smash Priest hoped for, and it left many longtime fans puzzled as to the whereabouts of the old lethal Priest.
The presence of synthesizers can be heard throughout the album, while such tracks as the opening ...
| | Judas Priest Ram It Down CD (1988) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Painkiller CD music
$8.39
Judas Priest attempted to take the mainstream rock world by storm with 1986's TURBO, with its melodic tendencies and polished production. It performed respectably on the charts but wasn't the big crossover smash the band had hoped for. 1988's RAM IT DOWN proves that the real Priest was always lurking just under that high-gloss rock sheen.
Resuming the band's previous straight-ahead heavy metal direction, RAM IT DOWN is not as lethal-sounding as its follow-up, 1990's PAINKILLER, and it has one or two relapses into pop-metal territory, including a cover ...
| | Joao Gilberto Joao Voz E Violao CD (2000)
Painkiller music CDs
$16.05
JOAO VOZ E VIOLAO won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best World Music Album.
A US release of new material by bossa nova master Joao Gilberto is like the appearance of a comet. It doesn't happen often, and when it does you'd be wise to pay close attention. Nearly a decade separates JOAO VOZ E VIOLAO from its predecessor, and thankfully little seems to have changed. Gilberto's voice and guitar possess the same purity that made his early-'60s recordings so unforgettable. Caetano Veloso, one of many Brazilian artists strongly influenced by Gilberto, achieves a production masterstroke here by the simple act of putting ...
