Few times in the history of heavy metal has the entire genre's future depended so much upon the release of a single album. Black Sabbath did it with their 1970 debut, Metallica with Kill Em All, Death with Scream Bloody Gore... and a small handful of others. One of those others happened to be Judas Priest, with 1976's now-legendary Sad Wings Of Destiny. Though the band certainly couldn't have imagined it at the time, this release would in turn spearhead the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, which would subsequently influence many American metal fans, leading ultimately to the beginnings of thrash metal and the other soon-to-come extreme metal sub-genres, fundamentally altering heavy metal forever, into the current form that we all know and love today.

Worth listening to just to hear Rob Halford's vocal range. Killer riff on the track Victim of Changes.

Almost 37 years later and this is still Judas Priest's best album by miles.

It has two classic songs on the history of heavy metal ,i think. "VICTIM OF CHANGES" and "DREAMER DECEIVER" and one kick ass songs "Tyrant" . classic heavy metal album from judas priest.

Definitely another one of my favorites from Judas Priest. I love "Genocide" and the "Dreamer Deceiver/Deceiver" duo in particular. One of their absolute best and most consistent really.

A wonderful Judas Priest album, and my favorite (sorry Painkiller and Screaming For Vengeance). This has all the power of the classic heavy metal, and great feel from one of the greatest vocalist of all time, in any genre. The trip that "Sad Wings of Destiny" makes you take is one of slow but strong pace. You will feel energy, power, and then you'll hear the gem of the crown, all slows down when the magnificent "Dreamer Deceiver" comes in scene. After the slow delight of great lyrics and Rob Halford's voice in all his splendor the second chapter "Deceiver" comes to speed up things again bringing the power one more time. It's truly a must-know of Metal history, and one of my favorites albums.

What a great album. It's hard to pick a favourite song, but I think it's Tyrant.
