You've got red hot licks in the palm of your hand if you're listening to Judas Priestcast! Two longtime Judas Priest fanatics (and new friends) George and Hattie come together from opposite sides of the world, united in their love of the iconic heavy metal band.

This time around, your hosts scrutinize the pair of tracks that close out 1984's legendary album Defenders of the Faith: "Heavy Duty" and the title song. We share our thoughts on the album as a whole, assess how the Heavy Duty/DotF duo fits with the rest of the record, and bare our criticisms. And which classic rock staple did George accuse Judas Priest of imitating? Join us and find out why we love Priest, but don't love these particular tunes.
