Since their inception, the group has released a collective total of thirty-five albums: fourteen studio albums, nine live albums, four EPs and eight compilations.

These include the US platinum-selling landmark The Number of the Beast during 1982 and Piece of Mind in 1983. Their most recent studio effort, A Matter of Life and Death, was released in 2006 and peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200. The album was certified gold in the UK.

Matelko91 -Hitler only came to hate the Poles because they resisted his plans of annexing the Danzig corridor, becoming a junior partner, and joining the anti-Cominterm pact in exchange of more Czech territories (Teschen had already been annexed) and subsequently the Soviet Ukraine. Before he considered them as equals because they hated Jews as much than he did. "It seems that because of Poland's strong anti-communist past, and the 'racial' mixture of Balt and Slav in her population, Hitler was ready to see the 'best' Polish elements as a suitable ally. Fervent anti-Semitism and the Polish government's desire to force Poland's own Jewish population into emigration was another link between them." - J.A.S Grenville, The Collins History of the World in the Twentieth Century

seriously: Priest and Maiden are GODS! Yeah Matt714 it's sad, but Poland 'till 1939 was country where tolerance was everywhere. We lived in neighbourhood and frienship with Jews and protestants meanwhile in Europe 'heretics' were burned by Inquisitors, Jews were persecuted.

Lol @ the Eastern Europeans that can't over Halford's homosexuality. Guess they missed quite some time of social development after 46 years under the Iron Curtain.
