Vs Tuesday: Two Bands! One Song! Who Wins? FIGHT! Screaming For Vengeance!
Certified double platinum with 5 million copies sold Worldwide, “Screaming For Vengeance” is the 8th Studio album from Judas Priest. It’s the album that gave them the commercial breakthrough in North America in 1982 and is critically acclaimed with both Kerrang! and Rolling Stone Magazine having it in their top 100 Greatest Metal Albums listings. The title track is the order of the day as we pit a pair of bands who are legends in their own right against each other.
In the Red corner we have Jon Schaffer’s Iced Earth, who covered “Screaming For Vengeance” for their 2001 covers album “Tribute To The Gods”. In the Blue corner we have Brazilian Metal Masters Sepultura who covered the song for that all important Japanese bonus track on “Dante XXI”. Who wins? You decide!
