In the follow-up to his Judas Priest: Decade of Domination book, which
looked at the band's career from inception through the Defenders of the
Faith album of 1984, Martin Popoff now tackles the band's incendiary
"hair metal" years through to the triumphant return to form of 2018's
Firepower. In between, Popoff tackles the live albums, Glenn Tipton's
solo excursion, Fight, Two and Halford... all that good stuff that
resulted from the Metal God's split with the band before his celebrated
return to the throne. Turbo, Ram It Down, Painkiller, Jugulator,
Demolition, Angel of Retribution, Nostradamus, Redeemer of Souls,
Firepower... this is the story of nine records all quite different from
each other, and all the details and tales in between. What results is
the story of more than thirty years of Priest history, including the
making of 1990's Painkiller, a record considered by a younger generation
of Priest fans to be the greatest slammin' collection of metal anthems
the band ever concocted and rocked. Judas Priest: Turbo 'til Now
includes extensive colour commentary from Popoff's many chats over the
decades with those who were there, including Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton,
K.K. Downing, Ian Hill, Scott Travis, Ripper Owens and Richie Faulkner,
along with producers Tom Allom, Chris Tsangarides and Roy Z. The result
is the most in-depth examination of Judas Priest's late '80s to
present-day output ever attempted.
