If you’re into metal, Judas Priest is one of those names that instantly makes you think of leather, spikes, and pure, unrelenting energy. But how did they land on that killer name?
Another British heavy metal band formed in Birmingham (UK) in 1969, Judas Priest have sold over 50 million albums and are frequently ranked as one of the greatest metal bands of all time. Despite releasing 5 experimental albums in the 1970s, Judas Priest struggled with a lack of major commercial success until 1980, when their sixth studio album British Steel brought them mainstream attention. Judas Priest’s image of leather, spikes, and other taboo articles of clothing was very influential during the glam metal era of the 1980s. So if you grew up to the British metal invasion, then these vintage-style, epic graphic Judas Priest t-shirts look like they came from a rock concert in the 80’s and may make you appear cooler.
