      Up to Defenders, Priest were just phenomenal! It was spotty after that. Painkiller, was the high spot, post-Defenders. Otherwise, it was like they were trying to keep up with the trends, rather than being the trend-setters.

    One of the heaviest track of its time and stuff.
    One of the countless prototype Judas Priest made for extreme metal to come.
    One of my favorite tracks too.
    Sin after Sin is a very important record for Priest but for the genre.
    Bad ass record also very influential for my songwriting and drumming fondation and developpement

    This is one of the first albums produced by Roger Glover, the bassist of Deep Purple, and the beginning of a career for Mark Dodson who has produced like a hundred records. John Hinch plays on Rocka Rolla, Alan Moore plays on Sad Wings, Phillips on Sin, then Les Binks plays on Stained Class, Hell Bent for Leather and Unleashed in the East and then Dave Holland does everything from British Steel to Ram It Down until Scott Travis, their current drummer, debuted on Painkiller. And yeah, this was the first album where Priest started sounding like what they became. Cheers!

      @Nissardpertugiu Місяць тому +3

      He reintroduced double bass to Judas Priest ( since the first drummer from the very first line up in 1969).
      Ian Paice did Fireball in 1971, but Bill Ward did by Master Of Reality (1971) onward, Trapeze ( featuring Dave Holland) had double bass, Mick Tucker from The Sweet did too, and Tommy Aldridge as Cozy Powell used double bass.

    I never knew what the song is about, but the lyrics always fascinated me. If you take it literally, the protagonist is ...the city of Berlin and it has hooks in its brain and wants to Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl! or something. :D
    Songfacts: One of my favorite older Judas Priest songs is Dissident Aggressor. How did you come up with that title?
    Rob: It’s about the Berlin Wall in 1970 something or other. I couldn’t sleep, so I went out for a walk. I went to the Berlin Wall and I walked up on top of a boxy-looking post thing.
    Glenn: A watchtower-type thing.
    Rob: Watchtower thing. It was in November, it was freezing cold, and I was looking over from West Berlin, which is all brightly lit up - pubs were up and everything. And the East side was just dead. It was pitch black, no lights were on, and there were these Russian guys looking back at me in binoculars. That was the seed for what that song talks about, about “I know what I am in Berlin.”
    Interesting that either Songfacts misheard or misprinted, or Rob misspoke "I know what I am in Berlin" which is actually "I know what I am I'm Berlin". O_o

    Dude, 70s Priest is phenomenal! It is such a gold mine of material. My favorite era of theirs by far! Sabbath invented metal, but Priest brought that speed and thrashiness to the sound like nobody before.. And funny enough, Rob Halford is great friends with the guys from Sabbath as well. He actually sang a whole concert with them when Ozzy was sick. The whole thing is on UA-cam, it is epic!

    Now that's Judas Priest's heyday! Simon Phillips and Les Binks were Judas Priest's best drummers. On this same great album, you can listen to the excellent "Let Us Prey/Call for the Priest’" and then move on to the next album, the brilliant Stained Class with Les Binks on drums, and the opening track "Exciter" is the perfect introduction to this masterpiece!😉

    Simon was a session player at that time . He was brought into the project by Roger Glover ( who also brought in Simon's replacement Les Binks who stayed for the next 2 albums before being replaced by Dave Holland ) . As expected , the band were elated with Simon's performance but he already had a tour with Jack Bruce lined up as well as other projects .

    • @hemlock399
      @hemlock399 8 днів тому +1

      Stained Class is an awesome album musically, but it has always had a flat sound quality to me. It could use a re-mix, perhaps. Sin After Sin sounds *so* bright by comparison.

  • @themechanix8804
    @themechanix8804 Місяць тому +8

    Simon recoded the album but never toured with Priest, Les Binks joined the band and stayed for 2 albums. Simon was the ONLY drummer on the album, Les Binks and Dave Holland are just credited because "Sin After Sin" was rereleased with some bonus tracks, these tracks comes from different eras of the band (wtf??), "Jailbreaker" its a song from "Defenders of The Faith" wich was released in 1984. with Dave Holland on drums.

  • @buzzbomb67

    Simon Phillips was either 19 or 20 when he did this album. Holy crap! Imagine hearing this for the first time in 1977, with nothing that sounded like it, as comparison. This album was WAY ahead of its time. My ONLY issue with this song, is its too short. I cant wait to see your reaction for this :)

    I would compare this with Sabbath's song Symptom of The Universe from their 1975 album Sabotage, because these are two great examples of Proto-Metal/Proto-Thrash. Both are way ahead of their time. Slayer's version, though I like it, isn't nearly as good.
    You need to discover Kenny Grohowski the drummer for Imperial Triumphant. Specifically, their song Chernobyl Blues. Imperial Triumphant are comprised of three musicians who have Jazz training and use that influence for Black Metal. Trust me: it's fucking wild!
    Great review!
