Op-Ed: Judas Priest puts on the best heavy metal concert of 2019

Markos Papadatos

Published

Their May 14th concert at The Paramount in Huntington on Long Island was described by Digital Journal as “electrifying,” and rightfully so.

Judas Priest is comprised of true heavy metal pioneers that have shaped and molded the rock and roll landscape into what it is today. They have stayed true to their artistry all these decades and they have inspired countless metal acts that followed.

Particularly impressive about their high-adrenaline show at The Paramount is that they performed songs from their latest studio album, Firepower, which proves that they are still at the top of their game musically. Judas Priest proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
