2.0 out of 5 stars Judas Priest Hell Bent For Metal, February 25, 2000

This review is from: Hell Bent for Metal-Tribute to Judas Priest (Audio CD)

This CD isn't great. There's too much death metal, where the singing is just brutal. There are a few good songs: Sentinel, Beyond the Realms of Death, Seeler, and Desert Plains. Some other songs, were simply an embarrassment. The vocalist's attempt to hit the high note in "The Ripper," is nothing more than ridiculous. The guitar solo in the beginning of "Metal Meltdown" was omitted. The worst song, is probably "Electric Eye," performed by "Scary German Guy." Not only was the "Hellion" left out, but the singing sucked, and the guitar solo was HORRIBLY butchered. I would only recommend this CD if you're a die hard priest fan who doesn't mind bad vocals.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the Legends of Metal CD's, but pretty cool..., July 14, 1999

Like most tribute albums, a mix of decent, great, and lousy. Low points...Sanctorum, Scary German Guy, and Aurora Borealis. High points...Angel Corpse's great death metal version of "Eat Me Alive," Winter's Bane's version of "Steeler," Steel Prophet's take on "Dreamer Deceiver," and especially Vital Remains' tuned down but otherwise just about note-perfect version of "You've Got Another Thing Comin'"

Recommended if you're a Priest fan and also happen to like death metal.

Winter's Bane's cover of Steeler was very good musically. The lead singer isn't Ripper Owens on this one so I think it could have been better but he does a good job. Agent Steel's cover of Beyond the Realms of Death is very good as well. The one by Blind Guardian is slightly better. People will either love or hate the cover of the Ripper by Equinox. It grew on me. Dreamer Deciever by Steel Prophet has been on several Priest tribute CDs and is a favorite. The Sentinel by Prototype and Desert Plains by Division are good as well. As for the rest of the covers they are either death metal or black metal bands mauling classic Priest songs. But if you are a big Priest fan the other songs I mentioned are worth it.
