Judas Priest - Between the Hammer & the Anvil (Official Audio)

[@thepunslinger9349]

One of the, if not the most underrated Judas Priest song. Love it.

[@EthanKeef]

but also one of my favorites

[@biggiesmallsgamerle4she276]

underrated according to whom?

[@jscott1622]

anything on this album is not underrated

And for good reason too this is awesome incarnate

It`s since over 40 Years Heavy!!

[@TheCount-y7e]

PURE Heavy Metal!

[@vredensengel4170]

Now, this is real music. In addition to it, it _is_ heavy metal. But mostly, it is musical awesomeness.

[@dr.juerdotitsgo5119]

Priest/Accept, heavy metal bible

[@xname662]

Other songs of the painkiller are also Thrash!!

[@azwris]

The magic of Painkiller album lies on the fact that it's songs doesn't sound like any other songs. Back then it felt like a true Metal Revolution. And that's why it is still being loved so much from the fans.

[@izd4]

Huh? For a 1990 release, I'd say they sound more like they were catching up with the rest of the metal world. Mind you, it's still a Priest record, so no complaints here

[@azwris]

@@izd4 Don't just reproduce the magazines!!! I am talking about a "feeling" here! Painkiller first listening was an out of space experience in 1990.

[@aleflippy1997]

@@izd4 Care to elaborate my friend? At worst, I'll have more great albums to listen to !

[@izd4]

@@aleflippy1997 Sure; by 1990, Judas Priest was experimenting with a new extremity - or rather, new for them, as even Power Metal had developed something about as raw five years prior (Helloween - Walls of Jericho). Overall I think Stained Class is my favorite Judas Priest album, nobody has _anything_ on Beyond The Realms Of Death

[@aleflippy1997]

@@izd4 eh... I wouldn't call Painkiller "power metal" at all. It's common for Heavy to delve into classical music to produce complex bridges. It's not merely a Power Metal thing, if anything, they took from it. Rob's vocals have also been high-pitched since the beginning, only softening up in recent years due to how physical it is. Sure, you might say that they rode that speed metal wave. But not only was it still early into the genre's lifespan back in 1990, but one could say that Judas actually invented it. You mentioned Stained Class... That's funny because Exciter is often cited as the first proto-speed metal song. So honestly, I don't really feel like Judas was copying anyone or merely following the trends. They've stuck to their guns, and always did at least until the Nostradamus fiasco... Then they went back to a more tried-and-true heavy formula.

Storm warning But there's no fear Lies forming The sacrament lays bare The sinner Will testify They'll suffer When sacrificed on high The burning sermons purge their evil words Between the Hammer and the Anvil Force rises

[@coyrex1480]

False ritual Baptises The body and the soul!

[@blgvieira]

Our union Their fall from grace Confession (confess your sins) Will seal them to their fate The burning sermons will survive their curse Between the Hammer and the Anvil Transgression They prey on grief Our mission To purify belief This altar Gives power and light They'll falter While we are shining bright The burning sermons consecrate their sin Between the Hammer and the Anvil

[@eyeseer1]

If was any more metal it’d be a steel factory.

[@adrianmendola7278]

100%

[@Iveraxi]

This album is underrated purely from the fact that it's impossible to rate this album high enough

[@madmickometal5205]

actually this album got album of the year 👍 when it was released in 1990, and it deserves to be!!! this is one of the best metal albums of its time 🤘and the guitar work is incredible!!!! I've been playing metal on guitar for 33 years, and this album's guitar work is awesome 🤘it shows how amazing and talented Judas priest are!!! 🤘 METAL FOR LIFE 🤘

[@gabrielurielsantos6398]

@lveraxi your reasoning is accurate

[@ToEriksson]

Everything in this world is underrated and overrated, yeah!

[@MS-ii1sv]

There's not really a bad song on this album at all. It's gotta be their most consistent album. It's also their heaviest. It's not my favourite Priest album but it's pretty awesome nonetheless.

[@lxz8021]

This album is the definition of heavy metal

[@ericlizotte1123]

4:01 lol That part gets me every time! Now that is pure metal right there!

Right. Or 90s video games.

[@thrasherftw]

Power Rangers theme rips this pretty heavily.

Monster track from powerful album. Long live the Priest!

[@MetalFan3000-i7w]

[@RiGrêmioNetoo]

To the top? They were never at the bottom

@@RiGrêmioNetoo I didn't mean they were at the bottom, it's just that the previous two album weren't as popular so this was a comeback.

It was played live the first time they came to my hometown. Back when K.K. Downing was still in the band.
