Crack the whip and rev the engine...a brilliantly realized
headbanging classic that ranks among heavy metal's greatest!
In many ways the fifth Judas Priest studio album, Hell Bent for Leather released in the fall of 1978 is the band's definitive album, showcasing all their strengths and epitomizing what this heavy metal group is all about. The album was produced during the period they adopted the leather studs style breaking new ground in heavy metal sound and image.
Although gothic themes are present the album isn't truly dark or morbid, the band is as aggressive and brutally intense as ever. The blistering two-guitar attack and shreds of Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing will melt your head - the solos have some serious attitude, and by now Rob Halford had established his quite unique, much lower and more menacing, vocal style. The album offers a glimpse of things to come, included are the undeniable Priest classics and permanent fixtures in their live shows.- The Green Manalishi, totally destroys the original Fleetwood Mac song, and when you hear that motorcycle roar, you know Hell Bent For Leather, one of the great metal songs of all time, will play. Classics galore complete this recording from the mighty opener, Delivering the Goods, Rock Forever, Killing Machineand Running Wild in addition to the actual top 40 hits, Evening Star and Take on the World - nearly every track is ripping, and dangerous. In 1978-1979, there wasn't anything quite like this album, Judas Priest basically reinvented heavy metal music and every band from Iron Maiden to Metallica have been influenced by them. The album that marks the beginning of the ascencion of Judas Priest to Metal God status.

Titled Killing Machine in the U.K., but given a less violent moniker for U.S. release (as if that makes any sense), Hell Bent for Leather is a transitional album between the progressive-minded complexity of Stained Class and the more commercialized stadium rock of British Steel. In terms of image, however, Judas Priest comes into their own here, creating modern heavy metal fashion by donning studded leather outfits that recalled biker subculture (a connection Rob Halford supported by riding a Harley-Davidson on-stage) but -- in one of metal's supreme ironies -- actually came from gay SM clubs. Now looking as fierce as their music sounded, Priest set about scaling back the ambition of Stained Class, making the songs more concise and immediate, with simpler structures and fewer underlying subtleties. However, the band largely maintains its then-trademark aggression; the simpler songs actually allow them to hike the tempo on the proto-speed metal numbers even more, and there are hints of blues-rock creeping back into the overall sound, complementing the newfound tough-guy swagger in the band's attitude. At the same time, the relative simplicity also provides the first glimpse of the band's more commercial instincts. If these competing impulses don't make for their most cohesive album, it's also true that most of what's here was still pretty peerless for its time. If Stained Class was the death album, Hell Bent for Leather is the sex album -- Delivering the Goods, the title track, Burnin' Up, and Evil Fantasies are all loaded with SM imagery, while Running Wild is a nightlife party anthem, and Before the Dawn a morose heartbreak ballad that nonetheless works in context as the downside of all this carnality. Delivering the Goods in particular ranks with their best straightforward rockers, while Hell Bent for Leather pushes ever farther towards speed metal proper, crystallizing Halford's leather-and-motorcycle obsessions into one of the band's signature statements. The other title track, Killing Machine, is a midtempo stomper about a contract hitman, and there's yet another brilliantly reinvented cover song, as the band transforms the Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac chestnut The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown) into a heavy, sinister groover. Of the more commercial material, the anthemic chorus of Evening Star leaves the best impression, while Rock Forever is their first explicit ode to heavy metal itself (and there would be many, many more to come). The uneasiest implications for the future come from Take on the World, a lunkheaded stadium shout-along that gave the band its first British hit single, and is clearly patterned after Queen's We Will Rock You. Occasional missteps and all, Hell Bent for Leather closes the book on Judas Priest's early period, which constitutes some of the most influential heavy metal ever recorded. The flood of NWOBHM talent they'd inspired was about to be unleashed on the record-buying public, and henceforth, Priest was intent on reaping the rewards. They would remain a vital force in their second, more commercial phase (more so than some fans of their late-'70s classics might care to admit), but their work of redefining the genre had largely been completed.
