Imo this and sabbath’s stuff laid the groundwork for everything we have now. Thrash was just a fusion of punk. Death metal merely added gutterals. IMO only the aesthetic appeal of Venom was the only big leap forward after this.

@@0xilipe0 holy hell that would've been bonkers, assuming they didn't just underutilize the guy like on Killing Machine. That album (and British Steel tbh) is such a letdown to me, tons of filler, Halford sticking more to his midrange and lower register, all short radio friendly songs, and Binks playing like he has an arm behind his back (not really lol but definitely less jazzed up and technical than on Stained Class)

[@0xilipe0]

@@CKT1138 Binks' groove is still there in Killing Machine, not to mention his double bass drumming in Hell Bent for Leather and the title track. The writing isn't complex but at the time that style was kind of new. IDK, I like KM lol I personaly dont have a problem with the commercial sound of the records you mentioned and Rob's lower register has enough character to be interesting but there is a night and day difference between Killing Machine and British Steel. Holand removed all the color from the drumming, making it super boring and predictable. It only really works in Metal Gods because the song is about robots so ironicaly it fits his stiff style.

[@CKT1138]

@@0xilipe0 yeah there's definitely still some moments of Les Binks trademark style, like Hell Bent and Rock Forever, that's very true. I don't totally hate KM, it's got some gems.... But ohhh boy there's some solid duds on it; "Evening Star" is meh, sounds like a Boston song or something, "Take On The World" is inane beyond belief, "Burnin Up" is musically solid but super duper corny, "Evil Fantasies" is a snoozefest, etc. And for whatever reason "Running Wild", "Rock Forever", and "Hell Bent For Leather" are very short, despite being some of the best songs. Rant over, lol... Dave Holland's drumming was "generic". Totally and utterly acceptable. He was usually much better in concert than on record, though, no clue why. And yeah, British Steel is overrated, I may actually like Point Of Entry more at this point.

[@tambourvideo]

Perfection, from the first glissando and FX to the crunchy tones of Tipton and Downing setting up the false groove, to the explosion into the hell Halford describes. Pure unfettered passion and emotion as Simon Phillips refuses to lock it into a pedestrian groove. Astounding artistry from Halford. I first heard this in high school, and absorbed every note, every tone, every layer, because this was new and creative and powerful and enveloping ...and after all these decades, it lights me up and stands the test of time, One of the greatest musical achievements ever.

So many great comments here it's hard to say something that hasn't been said already. When people say this is possibly the most metal song of all time they don't say it lightly. It quite possibly is. That intro wiped me out as a kid. I had to drop the needle over and over and over. The guitars.... the drums...omg the drums... the utterly stratospheric vocals. The chunking riff of doom into the little classical turn around melody. Eventually I listened to the whole song. I had Sin after sin and Sad Wings of Destiny in some knock off double album set up. It was weird... I bought the first two Ozzy albums in the same format. Judas Priest were probably my favorite band as a kid. I had plenty, but when I think of how deeply I was into their music I realise that my own playing was most influenced by these guys. Funny how I only realise that retrospectively because I went through this big Hendrix and Malmsteen (yes...him) phase that made me forget who really got me into shredding. God I love this song.

[@jesussaddle]

That's how vocal vibrato should sound, very natural and emotional. I remember having the headphones on listening to this album release on WGTB (Georgetown University college radio) before it was shut down by the administration about 2 years later. I had heard a song on Sad Wings of Destiny (Dreamer Deceiver) on that station when it was a bootleg, and I immediately had to won it. When I bought the record at Waxie Maxies in the Wheaton Plaza, one store clerk pointed to the album I was buying, and smiled at his coworker,. So when I heard that they were picked up by CBS and that a new album would be aired I made sure to be listening at 8pm (or was it 9pm). (These full album launches on college radio by college kids were like underground internet casts of today - the DJ's always sounded as excited to introduce them as we were to be listening. Months later Van Halen 1 was released on that station the same way. I didn't hear it, but they played Eruption the next day or so. Not the radio friendly songs mind you, Eruption. Looking back I was lucky to get to hear such original artistic vision and talent without it being stripped down by the big radio stations.
