Ram It Down (1988), an album containing several cast-off and reworked tracks from the previous album Turbo, including the eponymous tune, garnered little commercial attention. The style was heavier than the material found on Turbo but still contained the synth elements of the previous release.
With this line-up, Judas Priest recorded six studio and one live album which garnered different degrees of critical and financial success. Overall, Judas Priest has sold in excess of 30 million albums globally.
Judas Priest were one of the first heavy metal bands to modernize the twin-guitar sound, with the duo of K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton. They combined this sound with Rob Halford's unique vocal style create their own unique style of heavy-rock. They are cited often for their influence on heavy metal and the root sound of the guitar work in speed metal and thrash metal.
With their next album, Judas Priest participated more in the production and chose the producers. The result, Sad Wings of Destiny (1976), included a variety of old material, including the aforementioned stage favorites and the epic "Victim of Changes." This song combined "Whiskey Woman", a stage classic since the era of the first Judas Priest (Al Atkins' band) and "Red Light Lady" brought by Halford from Judas Priest's previous group, Hiroshima. This album and a strong 1975 performance at the Reading Festival helped to build their fanbase.
The trial is still referenced by people inside and outside of the music community. The Bloodhound Gang song "Lift Your Head Up High" includes an extended reference to the Subliminal Message trial, which parodies the concept of playing a song backwards to extract hidden messages. As well, the Mr. Show episode "The Return of the Curse of the Creature's Ghost" has a sketch in which a fictional band "Titannica" is sued by a fan who tries to commit suicide after listening to their hit song "Try Suicide".
On April 18, 2008, it was announced that the first full-album available for download for the very popular video game Rock Band would be Judas Priest Judas Priest's Screaming for Vengeance. The album will be available on April 22 for Xbox 360 and April 24 for Playstation 3.
Judas Priest's last release, Angel of Retribution (2005) which was Rob Halford's first Judas Priest album since 1990, contributed to the current revival of classic heavy metal. It contains songs in Judas Priest's classic style, such as "Judas Rising" and "Hellrider", as well as mid-tempo songs with clear and prominent drums and less prominent guitars ("Worth Fighting For", "Wheels of Fire"), a ballad ("Angel"), and the epic ("Lochness") which runs 13:28, a length of song Judas Priest had not done since its concerts in the early 1970s.
