I think I'm not the only one when I say that Judas Priest were totally ahead of its time. That was in 1978 and still today is super heavy. This guys traveled in a time machine? The drums, the speed, the glorious riffs, even the guitar effects which are far from what we used to hear in the 70s. This is 80s sound in 1978! One of my favorite songs of Judas. After listening to this, I can say they invented it all even before the initials NWOBHM became popular.

A commenter here said that "in '78 [Exciter] must have been futuristic". Well, not exactly, but fairly close. If y'all don't mind a long post from someone who discovered Exciter back when Unleashed was the latest Priest album, I'll give you my thoughts on this idea, since what he said is a common assessment of what next-level things "must have" seemed like at the time, and since equivalent things are still happening today (though not as often) that might otherwise go unrecognized for years. I'm 58 and been a hard rock/metal musician on several occasions. I'M OLDER THAN METAL, and I've watched it develop. That Unleashed cover photo and the song titles were irresistible to me and my buds. Never seen its like before; nothing so stark and slick and brutal. And I was already well used to being into what we NOW see as precursor music, as I'd been into Sabbath for 8 years, and Rush for 2 or 3. It didn't feel "futuristic" in a sci-fi sense, though of course individual songs like Into The Void and Invader did, Rush very much did, and the whole Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album still does for some odd reason. (Maybe SBS could be the soundtrack for "Again, Dangerous Visions", if anyone gets that reference. I read and kinda understood the book at 10, and got and kinda understood the album at 12. IIRC they're sort of the same color.) The precursor bands also didn't feel "futuristic" in a precursor sense: metal wasn't even 10 years old, few of its fans were more than 18, and we barely even CALLED it "metal" until '79 or '80. We mostly called it rock-n-roll, and we deliberately excluded all other rock forms that also should have been called that. (Later, the "metal" and "HR/HM" labels let us separate our beloved music from all that other stuff.) Plus, people today forget that in '78ish several generations of rock-haters were still alive and still had social and political power. Our favorite bands influencing successive generations wasn't even a concept to most of us - we just lived in the moment. But in that moment things like Dissident Aggressor and Exciter definitely felt ultra-modern: 'this is pinnacle stuff; look how far music has come. How can you older people not love this band like I do??' We just knew it was something special, but it still felt like it was the right pinnacle for the time. Pinnacles which I was a fan of, in the order they made it big, are Zeppelin, Sabbath, mid-career Purple, Kiss (only for their image and show), Rush, Ramones,, Van Halen (whose influence created the entire SoCal Happy Shiny Party Metal scene - aka "hair metal"). Then there was an amazing new upstart called Rainbow with the well-known Ritchie Blackmore, a slamming drummer named Cozy Powell, and this incredible new guy Ronnie James Dio with the insane voice and the mystical-level presence. Then there was AC/DC, Priest, Maiden, and finally the first two Ozzy albums with Randy Rhoads (we knew he was special before he died). All very pinnacle at the time, and all became hugely influential. (FTR, I don't care about the short-lived influence of any of the mediocrities of Hair Metal or Grunge, despite a few really good genre-defying same-era bands like Queensryche and Stabbing Westward. Hair Metal was great stuff for a while, but it mostly just influenced hair metal, and that's the end of that family tree. Grunge was never metal in the first place, and so many of those self-haters have intentionally committed suicide by now anyway - which is an influence nobody needs - so I sincerely hope that's the end of THAT family tree.) TODAY'S PINNACLE is what yesterday's pinnacle felt like. Those kinds of artists are 1) ultra-modern and/or cutting edge, but still right for their day 2) have their own personality and 3) almost instantly make fans out of the wider set of genre lovers. That's who is influencing the next generations, in all genres, right now as I'm typing this. I'm too out of touch to tell you exactly who they are, but I bet some of YOU know. Well, maybe I discovered one about 48 hours ago. You'll instantly see their influences and that Exciter was ultimately the prototype - nothing pinnacle these days. But you'll also instantly see what this subgenre, and this band in particular, have to offer that DOES make them pinnacle: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f8-mdqt_xrfMYoU.html&start_radio=1&t=29s I hope the future agrees. \m/

They are on the threshold between hard rock and metal but listen to "Blooming", "Secret My Lips" and "Non-Fiction Days" and tell me what you think. ;-)
