Judas Priest - Hell Bent For Leather

 

 HELL  BENT  FOR  LEATHER

Al remontarnos a los origenes mismos del heavy metal, cuando aún tantas cosas estaban por definirse, por llegar, cuando los límites eran muy difusos, es facil tomar parte por unos o por otros, pero personalmente a mí siempre me ha parecido que la primera banda en sonar totalmente heavy, al menos trascendiendo su sonido al de la siguiente década, siendo en esto adelantados a su época fueron Judas, habrá bandas anteriores que pusieran bases antes que ellos, sin duda, pero ellos lograron sonar heavy en conjunto casi antes que nadie. En 1978 editaron dos LP's, uno de ellos "Killing Machine" otro pedazo de historia metálica, y de esa obra dejo hoy en el blog su "Hell bent for leather" un clásicazo del que dejo un enlace a youtube.

Seek him here, seek him on the highway.
Never knowing when he'll appear.
All await, engine's ticking over.
Hear the roar as they sense the fear.

Wheels, glint of steel and a flash of light!
Screams, from a streak of fire as he strikes!

Hell bent, hell bent for leather.
Hell bent, hell bent for leather.

Black as night, faster than a shadow.
Crimson flare from a raging sun.
An exhibition, sheer precision.
Yet no one knows from where he comes.

Fools, self destruct cannot take that crown.
Dreams, crash one by one to the ground.

Hell bent, hell bent for leather.
Hell bent, hell bent for leather.

There's many who tried to prove that they're faster.
But they didn't last and they died as they tried.

There's many who tried to prove that they're faster.
But they didn't last and they died as they tried.

Hell bent, hell bent for leather.
Hell bent, hell bent for leather.
Hell bent, hell bent for leather.
Hell bent, hell bent for leather.
