I lived my teenage years in the 1970s, growing up jamming the hard rock & early metal albums from that decade. I saw Judas Priest LP Sad Wings Of Destiny in the bin at the Musicland store in the local mall when I was just 15 in late 1976 and looking it over thought to myself "this looks like it would be good" so I bought it knowing absolutely nothing about the band. Well little did I know when I got home and put that LP on the turntable and heard Victim of Changes for the first time that amazing scream from Halford at the songs end was like nothing I had ever heard before & it totally blew my freaking mind! That song set the hook of becoming a lifelong heavy metal hunter. Since that day that has been a lifelong obsession to discover every single unknown hard rock and heavy metal band there was to find so I could hear more of how THAT song sounded!
Fast forward nearly 50 years to present day 2023 & I am still attempting to achieve the impossible goal of discovering every unknown heavy ass band out there. And while the method of doing that has changed from seeking out & purchasing physical records, cassette tapes, & CDs at 2nd hand used & new release brick & mortar music stores to searching for new material digitally online it seems there are more new metal bands to discover now than there ever has been in the past. There are so many new bands popping up all over the planet on a daily basis there's just not enough hours in the day to listen to them all! Which is a problem I am more than happy to have! The hunt continues - metal 'til death! October 2023
