Screaming for Vengeance is the 8th studio album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. It featured a much more mainstream sound than previous albums, as evidenced in the single' "You've Got Another Thing Comin'. The album was recorded at Ibiza Sound Studios, Ibiza, Spain and mixed at Beejay Recording Studios and Bayshore Recording Studios in Florida. It was first released on July 17, 1982. A re-mastered CD was released in May 2001.
"From an unknown land and through distant skies came a winged warrior. Nothing remained sacred, no one was safe from the Hellion as it uttered its battle cry...Screaming for Vengeance."
The album reached #11 in the UK and #17 on Billboard 200 Pop Albums and made Judas Priest much more popular than they were after their British Steel album. It went Gold (RIAA) on October 29, 1982, Platinum on April 18, 1983 and Double Platinum on October 16, 2001, being their first album to achieve the two latter awards.
This album also includes their #1 hit "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" and one of their most-popular on-stage performances, "Electric Eye".
