Judas Priest are one of the pioneers of the heavy metal genre and were forerunners of the 'New Wave of British Heavy Metal' movement, laying the groundwork for the speed and thrash metal of the 80s and 90s back in the late 70s. The band was formed in 1967 by guitarist Kenneth "K. K." Downing, bassist Ian Hill and original singer Alan Atkins. A second guitarist, Glenn Tipton, was also added to the lineup as compensation for their record company's (Gull Records) suggestion to add a horn section to the first album. This "twin axe attack" was not particularly popular at the time, but worked wonders for the group later on and would inspire other bands to do the same.

Hard As Iron Lyrics
Judas Priest
Whipcrack, stings the sky
Dont mess with me Im danger
The meanest one alive
Earthquake, breaks the richter scale
The more that you resist
The more the pain youll feel
Im blazing on to glory
Theres thunder in my veins
And nothing stands before me
Forever Ill remain
Hard as iron
Sharp as steel
Stop for no man
You better beg and kneel
Untouched, cold as ice
Ill turn your blood to water
Strangle in my vice
Shock waves, bones to dust
Youre messin with a mine field
So expect the worst
Im blazing on to glory
Theres thunder in my veins
And nothing stands before me
Forever Ill remain
Hard as iron
Sharp as steel
Stop for no man
You better beg and kneel
As I destroy, last thing youll hear me cry, is victory, is victory
Im blazing on to glory
Theres thunder in my veins
And nothing stands before me
Forever Ill remain
Hard as iron
Sharp as steel
Stop for no man
You better beg and kneel
