Wow! How come nobody talks about this record! It's the fuckin' dawn of speed Priest! 52 minutes of burnin' twistin' metal. Every song here sounds like a souped up version of British Steel's "Rapid Fire", with twin guitar blazin' and thunder drums pounding the way. But what is the true calling card of Defenders Of The Faith you say? It's the lyrics you dummy!
And them lyics are insane. Halford just gave up trying to be cheeky about inserting homosexual reference in the songs, he just goes for broke on this one. Awesome enough to get Priest on the Filthy Fifteen list. Dude, Venom and Mercyful Fate are on that list! Metal!
Whatever, he could be singin' 'bout cups and cakes for all we care. As long as the music's loud. And this one, whoooa nellie is it loud. Just crank up some "Freewheel Burning," and ride with Priest, it the only way to rock.
