About

Judas Priest are an English heavy metal band formed in Birmingham in 1969. They have sold over 50 million albums and are frequently ranked as one of the greatest metal bands of all time. They have been referred to as one of the pioneers of the new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM) movement, and cited as a formative influence on metal subgenres, including speed metal, thrash metal, and power metal, as well as the hard rock and glam metal scenes of the 1980s. The band struggled without significant commercial success until 1980, when their sixth studio album British Steel brought mainstream attention.

During the 1970s, the core of bassist Ian Hill, lead singer Rob Halford and guitarists Glenn Tipton and K. K. Downing saw a revolving cast of drummers (with only Les Binks playing on more than one album), before Dave Holland joined in 1979. Since Holland's departure in 1989, Scott Travis has been the band's drummer. Halford left in 1992, and after a four-year hiatus, Judas Priest regrouped in 1996 with Tim "Ripper" Owens (formerly of Winter's Bane) replacing him. After two albums with Owens, Halford returned to the band in 2003. Downing left Judas Priest in 2011 and was replaced by Richie Faulkner, while Hill retired in 2026 and was replaced by Dave Rimmer. The current line-up consists of Tipton, Travis, Halford, Faulkner and Rimmer; although Tipton remains as an official member of the band, he has limited his touring activities since 2018 due to Parkinson's disease, with Andy Sneap filling in for him.

The Guardian referred to British Steel as the record that defines heavy metal. Despite a decline in exposure during the mid-1990s, the band have seen a resurgence, including worldwide tours, being inaugural inductees into the VH1 Rock Honors in 2006, receiving a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2010, and having their songs featured in video games including Guitar Hero and the Rock Band series. In 2022, the band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame via the Award for Musical Excellence.

Judas Priest est un groupe britannique de heavy metal traditionnel, originaire de Birmingham. Formé en 1969 par le guitariste K. K. Downing et le bassiste Ian Hill, Judas Priest est l'un des groupes les plus influents de la scène heavy metal, notamment grâce à la voix au registre très étendu du chanteur Rob Halford, à son style musical caractérisé par l'utilisation de deux guitaristes solistes, et à ses performances scéniques hautes en pyrotechnie. Il est aussi reconnu comme l'un des inspirateurs de la new wave of British heavy metal. Le groupe est cité pour avoir popularisé le look « biker metal », avec ses habits de cuir et ses bracelets métalliques à clous. En 2007, le groupe recense plus de 45 millions d'albums vendus à travers le monde.

Le bassiste Ian Hill et le guitariste Glenn Tipton sont les deux seuls membres de la formation actuelle à avoir été présents sans interruption depuis le premier album du groupe. Depuis 2018, Glenn Tipton est remplacé par Andy Sneap durant les tournées, en raison de l'avancée de la maladie de Parkinson dont il est atteint depuis des années. Il reste cependant membre à part entière et participe encore à l'écriture et l'enregistrement des albums. En octobre 2026, Ian Hill annonce à son tour sa retraite après 57 ans passé au sein du groupe, en raison de ses problèmes d'arthrite qui s'aggravaient. Il était le dernier membre fondateur présent dans la formation actuelle, il sera remplacé par Davey Rimmer de Uriah Heep.
