Judas Priest formed in Birmingham, England in 1970 and went on to define heavy metal for decades. They’re credited as one of the first rock bands to wear leather and studs exclusively, an image that propelled hits like “Breaking the Law” and “Painkiller.”

The current band features Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, Scott Travis, and Richie Faulkner.
