Ye Olde Metal: Judas Priest's Defenders of the Faith

The 2016 Martin Popoff 20-page ebook about the making of the Judas Priest album, Defenders of the Faith.


In this much expanded and rewritten chapter from Martin’s long out-of-print and collectible Judas Priest book, Heavy Metal Painkillers, Popoff looks at Priest’s dark and heavy wild ride from 1984. “Love Bites,” Eat Me Alive,” “Jawbreaker,” “The Sentinel”… This was a Judas Priest grindingly heavy in opposition to the hair metal era just taking hold. Join Martin in conversation with all the principles as they revisit this headbanger classic.
