	Sad Wings of Destiny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sad Wings of Destiny is the second album by the British heavy metal group Judas Priest, released in 1976.
		It was the album that would establish the band as a major force in the heavy metal scene (at a time when hard rock and heavy metal music was in a general decline in popularity), and ulimately moved them closer to commercial success.
		This may have been done, as the extended fade-in intro of "Victim of Changes" and the outro of "Island of Domination" seem to book-end the album better (considering the continuous play of the CD format) when compared to the relatively abrupt intro of "Prelude" and the less dramatic outro to "Deceiver".

	Daily Vault - March 10, 2005
		For Judas Priest, their second studio release Sad Wings Of Destiny can still be seen as one of those head-shaking moments.
		Whereas Rocka Rolla was an unsteady first step, Sad Wings Of Destiny is indeed a move in the right direction, and shows a band growing a little more confident in the fact that they were unlike any other group out there at the time.
		Sad Wings Of Destiny is, at times, an interesting look back at where Judas Priest was at an early stage in their career.

	Review: Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		With the help of Sad Wings of Destiny, Hell Bent for Leather, Sin after Sin, and Stained Class, Judas Priest was becoming more noticed as time went on.
		There seems to be a great deal of material on Sad Wings of Destiny, despite the fact that this is the Hell Bent for Leather tour.
		Versions of Exciter, Hell Bent for Leather, Starbreaker, and Diamonds and Rust are done flawlessly as always, but the Sad Wings of Destiny songs that are on here are done a hell of a lot better than their studio counterparts.

		Their next album, ‘Sad Wings Of Destiny’, was recorded with re-enlisted drummer Alan Moore.
		'Sad Wings Of Destiny', clad in an evocative Patrick Woodruffe artwork sleeve, would prove to be a groundbreaking album and songs such as ‘Genocide’, ‘Tyrant’ and ‘Island Of Domination’ proved JUDAS PRIEST were on their way.
		Overall the quality of material captured on 'Sad Wings Of Destiny' without doubt portrayed an enormous creative leap from the 'Rocka Rolla' opus.

	Judas Priest : Sad Wings of Destiny - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The groundbreaking Sad Wings of Destiny was the first great Judas Priest album, simultaneously taking the entire heavy metal genre to new depths of darkness and new heights of technical precision and musicality.
		Just as importantly, the more prog rock-influenced sections of Rocka Rolla have been brought under control, with the extended pieces displaying a newfound focus and direction, as well as complexity.
		Although neither as commercially successful nor as technically flashy as subsequent releases, Sad Wings of Destiny was an important milestone in the eventual development of the progressive metal subgenre, and established a standard of excellence to which Judas Priest would adhere through the remainder of the '70s.

		"Sad Wings" was the next step in metal after the initial wave of Sabbath, Purple, and Uriah Heep.Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate, Metallica, Fates Warning and virtually all of later progressive metal would be inconceivable had this record never been made.
		This album has so much emotion and range from "Epitaph" and "Dreamer Deceiver" (the greatest metal ballad ever) to "Tyrant", "Genocide" and "The Ripper" Downing and Tipton became a true team on "Sad Wings" and fully established their twin lead guitar attack.
		the album is about destiny, fate, the inevitable and the pressures of getting there, the "sad wings".

	Judas Priest Album Reviews
		Sad Wings Of Destiny (Columbia ’76) Rating: A-
		The band’s second album was a significant improvement on the tentative Rocka Rolla, as Judas Priest solidified their identity as one of the heaviest bands of the ‘70s.
		Though it has become somewhat forgotten over the years, Sad Wings Of Destiny houses several essential Judas Priest tracks, none more essential than “Victim Of Changes,” which starts the album off with big, bruising riffs and a nasty mid-tempo chug.

	Julian Cope Presents Head Heritage \| Unsung \| Reviews \| Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny
		For the mere fact that "Sad Wings of Destiny" was the FIRST record EVER to feature "THAT METAL RIFFING SOUND" (so says me, dare ya to prove otherwise!) this qualifies as one of the greatest of unsung records.
		In 1976 they were still mired in the murk of seventies doom and prog rock, and a doomier platter the world had never seen before (though plenty of later "death metal" bands have taken the "Sad Wings" vibe and run with it.) The cover art depicting an angel weeping in Hell nails it perfectly.
		"Wings" is also the strongest Priest album in terms of the song compositions themselves -- "Victim of Changes" features some marching-down-the-road-of-bone riffing that out-Sabbaths anything Ozzy and co. were doing by 1976.

		It's surprising that "Black Wings of Destiny" has been such a relatively low-profile release so far, given the band's supergroup status â” Peterson is joined by bandmates Steve Smyth (also of NEVERMORE/ex-TESTAMENT) and Jon Allen (also drummer for the mighty SADUS), Derrick Ramirez, and PSYPHERIA keyboardist Lyle Livingston.
		The album's brevity may be a sore point with those paying full retail for it (seven originals, an intro, and two covers, topping out at 44 minutes), but "Black Wings of Destiny" is jam-packed with well-executed, ornate, symphonic fl metal, tastefully put together and performed with intensity.
		"Black Wings of Destiny" is another solid, impressive release from the DRAGONLORD camp â” perhaps not stellar enough to silence the worldwide pleas from legions of fans (this writer included) for a new TESTAMENT album, but definitely something substantial to chew on while we're waiting.

		The album has it softer side, however, notably the neo-classical rock instrumental "Prelude," the melancholy piano ballad "Epitaph," complete with crooning vocal harmonies, and the semi-acoustic existential contemplation "Dreamer Deceiver," a long-lost gem in the band's large oeuvre.
		Frankly, every track on this album is a winner, and SAD WINGS OF DESTINY would become the first of several albums from Priest that would forever transform the world of heavy metal.

	RevelationZ Magazine - Album Review - Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny
		Laying comfortably in my hand is the re-mastered version (re-released by CMC in 1996) of this dinosaur record, being Priest’s second album, one that I still “hold” as a classic today.
		I have made a couple of comments on some of my favourite lyrics above, overall the quality is pretty good and they are nicely balanced into the songs.
		As Black Sabbath was ahead of their time, Sad Wings Of Destiny was the beginning of new era in the history of Metal music and also an album that has some incredible and advanced cuts that still impresses so many years later.

		These two in particular became very popular in the Heavy Metal movement.
		Some followers, including Heavy Metal musicians of prominent groups, believe that the foundations of the definite style and sound of pure heavy metal were laid down by NWOBHM band Judas Priest (another Birmingham band) with three of their early albums: Sad Wings Of Destiny (1976), Sin After Sin (1977), and Stained Class (1978).
		Rainbow are also sometimes cited as pioneering a sort of pure heavy metal and one could also make this claim about the later albums of Deep Purple such as Burn and Stormbringer, but these bands are generally considered to be hard rock bands.

		A sinister cabal of superior bloggers on music, books, film, popular culture, technology, and politics.
		Released in 1997, The Divine Wings Of Tragedy is the third album by progressive power metal band Symphony X. It was at this point where people literally suddenly jumped up (I'm assuming here) and shouted at the peak of their voices, "Who the fuck are these guys?
		It's unsurprising that the album title sounds not unlike Judas Priest's Sad Wings Of Destiny.
