Screaming for Vengeance is the eighth studio album by British
heavy metal band Judas Priest. The album, considered the band's
commercial breakthrough, sold in excess of 5 million unit
worldwide and has been certified double platinum in the United
States and platinum in Canada
Judas Priest rebounded from the shaky Point of Entry with
Screaming for Vengeance, arguably the strongest album of their
early-'80s commercial period. Having moved a bit too far into
simplistic hard rock, Vengeance found the band refocusing on heavy
metal, and achieving a greater balance between commercialism and
creativity. The results were catchy and accessible, yet harder
hitting, and without the awkwardly apparent calculation that
informed the weakest moments of the album's two predecessors
Ultimately, Screaming for Vengeance hangs together better than
even the undeniable landmark British Steel, both thematically and
musically. There's less of a party-down feel here -- the remaining
traces of boogie have been ironed out, and the lyrics return to
the darkness and menace that gave the band its mystique. Sure, if
you stop to read the lyrics, all the references to demons and
devils and monsters can look a little gratuitous, but the music
here is so strong that there simply aren't any seams showing. Even
the occasional filler is more metallic this time around -- in
place of trite teenage rebellion, listeners get the S&M-themed
"Pain and Pleasure." In fact, "Pain and Pleasure" and "Fever" are
the only two songs here that have never shown up on a band
retrospective, which ought to tell you that Priest's songwriting
here is perhaps the best it's ever been. The midtempo grooves that
enlivened British Steel are here in full force on the band's
signature tune, "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" (their only
American chart single), as well as "Bloodstone," "Devil's Child,"
and unfairly forgotten single "(Take These) Chains," all uniformly
great. But there's a nearly equal emphasis on uptempo headbanging
thanks to the classic "The Hellion/Electric Eye," the terrific
album track "Riding on the Wind," and the stupendously high
velocity title cut, which is the closest they ever came to thrash
metal (at least in the '80s). Despite a one-album misstep in
between, Screaming for Vengeance managed to capitalize on the
commercial breakthrough of British Steel, becoming the first
Priest album to be certified double platinum, and reaching the Top
20 in America and the U.K. alike. Along with British Steel, it
ranks as one of the best and most important mainstream metal
albums of the '80s
