In April of 1980, known hellbent for leather Turbo Lovers, Judas Priest, released their 6th studio album.

Taking lyrical cues from AC/DC this time around, the band dropped some of the darker themes featured on their earlier releases, opting for a more party time feel.

The record announced the arrival of The New Wave of British Heavy Metal and would help inspire the thrash metal genre of a few years later.
