Judas Priest Marking 30th Ann of British Steel

New York (Top40 Charts/ Judas Priest Official Website) - It is hard to pinpoint when heavy metal history is going to be made. However, an upcoming event will surely be one of the few times you know for sure that it will. Judas Priest will be filming their August 17 performance at the Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino - Hollywood, FL, for a DVD that will be included in a forthcoming expanded 30th Anniversary edition of their 1980 classic, 'British Steel.' As with all of their U.S. summer dates this year, Priest has been performing the album in its entirety from front to back.

'British Steell' has long been considered one of metal's all-time classics. It was with this release that Priest truly broke through to the masses, with a pair of tracks that have become fixtures on rock radio - the enduring anthems "Breaking the Law" and "Living After Midnight." But like all classic albums, there is not a single weak track detected on 'British Steel,' as evidenced by such standouts as the perennial concert highlight "Metal Gods," as well as "Rapid Fire," "Grinder," "United," and "The Rage," among others.

Produced by Tom Allom, 'British Steel' was recorded at Tittenhurst Park, a mansion owned at the time by former Beatle Ringo Starr, and previously owned by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. In 2001, the album was remastered and reissued with bonus tracks, and also, was the subject of an in-depth study as part of the popular '"Classic Albums"' DVD series.
