Judas Priest - Painkiller [35th Anniversary Edition Vinyl LP]

Painkiller is the twelfth studio album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released on 17 September 1990. The album was released following the band's highly publicised 1990 subliminal messages trial earlier that year, in which frontman Rob Halford and the band were cleared of civil charges and found not liable for the attempted suicides of two young men in December 1985 relating to the band's music.

Painkiller was the last Judas Priest album to feature long-time vocalist Halford until his return for the 2005 album Angel of Retribution and the first to feature drummer Scott Travis.

Featuring the classics “Painkiller” and “A Touch of Evil,” the audio for this 35th anniversary of Judas Priest’s metal masterpiece Painkiller has been remastered from analogue tape by long time Judas Priest engineer Tom Allom and Music Producers Guild Mastering Engineer of the Year, Matt Colton.
