Painkiller (Judas Priest album)
1990 studio album by Judas Priest
Painkiller is the twelfth studio album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released on 17 September 1990, and 18 September in the United States.[4] It was the last Judas Priest album to feature long-time lead singer Rob Halford until his return for the 2005 album Angel of Retribution and the first to feature drummer Scott Travis.
Recording and music
Painkiller is the first Judas Priest album to feature drummer Scott Travis, who replaced long-time drummer Dave Holland in 1989. Travis was previously a member of Los Angeles band Racer X and with his heavy use of double kicks, Travis gave Judas Priest a new sound and heavier edge.
Painkiller was described as heavy metal[5][6][7] and, due to its relatively intense sound, speed metal.[5][8]
The album was recorded at Miraval Studios, Brignoles, France in early 1990 and mixed at Wisseloo
