'''Judas Priest''' is a HeavyMetal band that got its original lineup in [[UsefulNotes/TheWestMidlands Birmingham, England]], in 1969. Taking their name from an ensemble also called Judas Priest which split up earlier that year, lead singer Al Atkins approached K.K. Downing, Ian Hill, and John Ellis to become their singer. Atkins and their subsequent drummer Alan Moore (not [[Creator/AlanMoore that one]]) left in 1974. Ian Hill's girlfriend suggested her brother, Rob Halford, could fill Atkins's departure.
