Album Notes & Community Reviews
Significantly refining the bluesy templates of their debut, Judas Priest forged a crucial, deeply influential pillar of early heavy metal with their brilliant sophomore release. 'Sad Wings of Destiny' is an incredibly dark, fiercely energetic triumph, matching Rob Halford's passionately soaring vocals with incredibly heavy, wildly epic progressive-rock guitar structures.
