A masterpiece of heavy metal that combines roaring sound and melody.Judas Priest's fifth studio album, released in 1978, combines a commercial approach with the essence of heavy metal. "Killing Machine" saw Judas Priest adopt a more commercial approach while still maintaining the essence of heavy metal. The album marked a turning point in the band's musical style, emphasizing catchier and more melodic elements. "Take On the World," in particular, had the qualities of a stadium anthem, demonstrating the band's musical breadth. The album's artwork and promotion also reflected the band's new image, contributing to the formation of heavy metal's visual identity. |
