British Steel

British Steel is the sixth studio album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released on 11 April 1980 by CBS Records and in May 1980 in the US by Columbia Records. It was the band's first album to feature Dave Holland on drums. The album is a continuation of the more streamlined, commercial sound of their previous album, Killing Machine, with shorter, less complex songs and lyrical themes that were less dark than their previous albums from the 1970s. The album yielded three singles, "Living After Midnight", "Breaking the Law", and "United", all of which reached the top 40 of the UK Singles Charts, and the first two went on to become among Priest's most enduring airplay staples. Today, the album is regarded as an influential breakthrough for the band, and one of the earliest landmarks in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement.
