In 1982, their previous album "Screaming for Vengeance" achieved their long-awaited complete domination of the US!
This 9th original album was released in January 1984, at the peak of Priest's career.
It reached No. 18 in the US (achieving platinum status) and No. 19 in the UK.
In Japan, it is a masterpiece and a popular work, vying for the top 1 or 2 positions among all their works.
The producer/engineer is Tom Allom, who handled all their works in the 80s, starting with "Unleashed in the East" (Japanese concert live) in 1979 (also handling Black Sabbath's first 3 albums). Tom Allom also remastered this 30th-anniversary edition.
The representative songs of this album include "Freewheel Burning," "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll," and "The Sentinel."
The mechanical beast depicted on the jacket is "Metallian." The jacket appears with new artwork for the 30th anniversary. It comes in an 8-panel digipak and a deluxe booklet, making it a 30th-anniversary specification.
And the biggest attraction of this work is, without a doubt, the live recordings on CD2/CD3.
The complete recording of their concert at the Long Beach Arena in California in May 1984, at the peak of their career!
