This song is pure gold. The thunder effect at the start, the riffs, Rob's vocal delivery and the atmosphere it creates just nails it.

How cool would it be if they made a movie with all the creatures and characters from the Judas Priest mythology?: The Electric Eye, the Sentinel, the Jawbreaker, the Painkiller, the Night Crawler... All together in an animated anthology, just like in Heavy Metal movie (1981).

It's about time they got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! They've earned it! Congratulations Rob Halford

THE album that out of the blue converted an avid Michael Jackson fan (circa 1991) to metal fan. My roommate had it playing all the time and I could not believe how great that music was, it blew my mind.

I still can't believe how good of an album Painkiller is. Every song on it is beyond amazing

This was my first JP album to buy. What a good choice

This is actually my favorite album from them Painkiller is legendary 🤘

Howling winds keep screaming around And the rain comes pouring down Doors are locked and bolted now As the thing crawls into town Straight out of hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you Nightcrawler Beware the beast in black Nightcrawler You know he's coming back Nightcrawler Sanctuary is being sought Whispered prayers a last resort Homing in its' cry distorts Terror struck they know they're caught Straight out of hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you Nightcrawler Beware the beast in black Nightcrawler You know he's coming back Nightcrawler As night is falling The end is drawing near They'll hear Their last rites echo on the wind (Spoken word) Huddled in the cellar Fear caught in their eyes Daring not to move or breathe As the creature cries Fingernails start scratching On the outside wall Clawing at the windows "Come to me" it calls Atmosphere's electric As it now descends the stairs Hiding in the darkness Is so futile from its glare Death comes in an instant As they hoped it would Souls ascend to heaven While it feasts on flesh and blood

if you would look up "heavy metal" in a dictionary, you would just see this album cover

This is Heavy Metal 🤘🤘🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

30 years later, this guitar-voice co working still make my cry with goosebumps....

2:36 That is INSANELY GOOD the best vocalist of all music

I'm from Russia I really like this group 👍💯And this album is a masterpiece. I heard this album for the first time in 1990 and immediately fell in love with it. And I still enjoy listening to it. 😎✌👍💯 Just super cool. 👍💯💯💯

Never knew Judas Priest loved X-Men so much

This is masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!! Hail from Portugal.

I love the atmosphere of this song. It was the first song I heard from this band and I still love this song to this day, although I hardly ever listen to this type of metal anymore. The clean guitar parts are great, Rob's voice, and the ambient sounds, it brings back a lot of good memories of listening to this at night, in the car, it was great.

This song is one of their best. It is just put together so well. It builds... goes to a break and comes back even stronger. The individual musicianship is just amazing. The guitar throughout and the drums are just mesmerizing and to top it all off the range of Rob Halford's voice pulls it all together. When they say a song is "a banger" this is what they are talking about.

This song is a masterpiece

The song that made me get into the Priest world... Epic!!!

50+ years on it and still kicking ass!

yeeeeeah. Judas priest fantastic music the greatest group and album and songs congratulations

33 years later, this is still one of the darkest and most kick ass Judas Priest songs ever.

2:16 Fills me with such power.

El mejor disco de Judas... Sonido demoníaco y fuerte. El grupo que más fuerza tiene para mi.

If you look up heavy metal in the dictionary… You'll likely find the definition for heavy metal… Of which Judas Priest is the greatest band of all time

This is the definitive heavy metal! The whole album. But this song is my favorite.

I love this song. The visual concept is so clear. Rob Halford is ricks answer to Marty Robbins.

Since the eighties this band and iron maiden their lyrics together with their instrumentalism

One of my favourite songs from Judas Priest! 🤟🔥

Hopefully we'll get a 30th anniversary version of this album, since we didn't get one for Ram It Down..

I wish I still had all my old concert t-shirts 😢

one of the best heavy metal songs,a truly artwork

Hail judas priest 🤟

4:00 that scream..... I love it

Awesome song, awesome band.

Copy paste Lyrics: [Verse 1] Howling winds keep screaming around And the rain comes pouring down Doors are locked and bolted now As the thing crawls into town [Pre-Chorus] Straight out of Hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you [Chorus] Night crawler Beware the beast in black Night crawler You know he's coming back Night crawler [Verse 2] Sanctuary is being sought Whispered prayers our last resort Homing in its cry distorts Terror struck they know they're caught [Pre-Chorus] Straight out of Hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you [Chorus] Night crawler Beware the beast in black Night crawler You know he's coming back Night crawler [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] As night is falling The end is drawing near They'll hear Their last rites echo on the wind [Bridge] Huddled in the cellar Fear caught in their eyes Daring not to move or breathe As the creature cries Fingernails start scratching On the outside wall Clawing at the windows Come to me it calls Atmosphere's electric As it now descends the stairs Hiding in the darkness Is so futile from its glare Death comes in an instant As they hoped it would Souls ascend to heaven While it feasts on flesh and blood [Pre-Chorus] Straight out of Hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you [Chorus] Night crawler Beware the beast in black Night crawler You know he's coming back Night crawler [Outro] He's going to get you He's going to get you Beware of the beast Night crawler Beware of the beast He's going to get you Night crawler Straight out of hell Beware of the beast He's going to get you

Beware the beast !

Found this on Apple Music, was like, really COB playing this? It sounds tremendous, they rock, the keyboards, the solo, the voice, how incredible is, one of the best covers made ever, totally different generations and able to create something like that, awesome…

I never had as much fun playing in a band as i did playing this tune. It's an immense tune.

Από τα καλύτερα heavy κομμάτια που γράφτηκαν,θα σαπίσουν ακόμα και τα κόκκαλα μας και θα ακούγεται

전에 거는 테이프 로 사다가 이 앨범 89년 판으로 샀지 /그때는 알바 시작 할 때니까 역시 주다스 형들 만수무강 하셔요

This was such a bass ass song . For the year it came out? HOLY CRAP .. it still just kicks ass , on a bigger stereo it’s a lot

The thing just crawled in my town jamming to this METAL

This song is a real response to what an excellent of heavy metal...

Hi Priest thank you so much for releasing this song in this perfect quality of audio, this song was my favorite one when I began listening to Judas priest and to these days it continue giving me goosebumps ❤️🤘🏻 I will be so grateful if you release Run Of The Mill from the Rocka Rolla album in this quality and clearly a lot of your fans too 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

LOVE PRIEST and this song ROCKS !!!!

Sin duda descubrir el rock y el metal ha sido mi mas grande hallasgo y judas priest es una de las bandas que confirma mi grandiosa elecion tengo 17 y prefiero mil veces esto a escuchar reggeton como los demas.
