Guest: Alicia Cordisco (⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠) (Arizona, USA) ⁠https://linktr.ee/alicia_in_chains Our heart was clean now we're stained class at Judas Priestcast! Two longtime Judas Priest fanatics (and new friends) George (he) and Hattie (she/any) come together from opposite sides of the world, united in their love of the iconic heavy metal band. This time around, we wrap up the Pride series with Alicia Cordisco (she), a prolific guitarist/vocalist/songwriter in the underground metal scene, of recently the bands Project: Roenwolfe, Transgressive, and Wraithstorm. Alicia tells us all about how she set out to make music for the benefit of queer and marginalized people, what the metal community succeeds at and where it could improve, and her choice to be extremely visible as a trans musician. Later, your hosts break down "Stained Class", a raging speedfest from the 1978 album of the same name. As expected, George, Hattie, and Alicia find plenty of socio-political commentary in these lyrics, and we take some time to check out a live version played by Halford in 2001. Time has slashed each untouched thing, so hit that play button and be a stained class king with Judas Priestcast! Share what you think about "Stained Class"!

This time around, the Pride series continues with Westin (they), Noob Heavy blog writer, who loops us in on their work into promoting bands with positive ethics, their experiences growing up with limited metalhead connections and seeking out a community online, and how the diversity of bands & audiences has enriched metal.

Westin presents a lyrical interpretation with strong undercurrents of Halford's life in the closet and the accepting world Rob wanted to see.

Guest: Maddie (BeaverMosh YouTube | Twitter) (Minneapolis, USA) We're reaching out as if from the grave at Judas Priestcast! Two longtime Judas Priest fanatics (and new friends) George (he) and Hattie (she/any) come together from opposite sides of the world, united in their love of the iconic heavy metal band. This time around, the Pride series continues with Maddie (she) of YouTube metal review & interview channel BeaverMosh. Maddie tells us all about her love of metal and exposing new artists, as well as her ideals and experiences as a queer person in our metal community. Later, your hosts break down "(Take These) Chains", a single from 1982's Screaming for Vengeance. We find plenty of queer-coding in this track, touch onto the serious topic of abusive relationships, and evaluate the inclusion of this song on the album.

Guests: Soulmass band members: Lux Edwards (Link) and Brett Windnagle (Link) (Florida, USA) https://soulmass.bandcamp.com/ https://lascaillesshroud.bandcamp.com/ You got our scent and we can hear you howl at Judas Priestcast! Two longtime Judas Priest fanatics (and new friends) George (he) and Hattie (she/any) come together from opposite sides of the world, united in their love of the iconic heavy metal band. This time around, the Pride series continues with Brett (he) and Lux (they) of the band Soulmass. By playing a crushingly heavy mix of doom and melodic death metal, Brett and Lux found an outlet for their personal pain and wrote music that helped them discover their own identities. The duo talk about the stories that Soulmass base their lyrics on, and how those connect to their personal journeys. Later, your panel gets down to business with a deep cut from 1986's arena-metal opus Turbo. Yes, we are "Hot for Love" today, but which band does Lux think Judas Priest was heavily inspired by during the Turbo era?

It's been a lifetime that we've had this in the works at Judas Priestcast! Two longtime Judas Priest fanatics (and new friends) George (he) and Hattie (she/any) come together from opposite sides of the world, united in their love of the iconic heavy metal band.

After that, we break down "Before the Dawn", a ballad of love, longing, and leaving from 1978 album Killing Machine / Hell Bent for Leather. We tie the song's themes back to our lives, speculate on the level of self-insertion, and watch a very cool Priest-adjacent live performance.
