About this album

Screaming for Vengeance is the 8th studio album by British band Judas Priest. The album featured a much more mainstream sound than previous albums. The album was recorded at Ibiza Sound Studios, Ibiza, Spain and mixed at Beejay Recording Studios and Bayshore Recording Studios in Florida. It was first released on July 17, 1982. A re-mastered CD was released in May 2001.

The album reached #11 in the UK and #17 on Billboard 200 Pop Albums and made Judas Priest much more popular than they were after their British Steel album. It went Gold (RIAA) on October 29, 1982, Platinum on April 18, 1983 and Double Platinum on October 16, 2001, being their first album to achieve the two latter awards.

This album also includes their hit “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’” and one of their most popular on-stage performances, “Electric Eye”.

The band wrote about the bonus track “Prisoner of Your Eyes” in the remaster booklet as follows:

“This is one of two versions of this particular song - the second version having a different chorus. The majority of this track is still as it was put down at the time but with lead breaks from Glenn and K.K. added at a later date. It’s very emotional and epitomizes the light and shade style of Judas Priest which is the trademark of the band.”

The album came 15th on IGN’s 25 most influential albums.

The album also came 10th on Metal-Rules.com’s 100 greatest albums.
