Heavy metal titans Judas Priest are back with not one but three new limited-edition print runs to fundraise for The Glenn Tipton Parkinson's Foundation and Sweet Relief Musicians Fund!
 
Made in collaboration with the band to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Painkiller and the upcoming 40th anniversary of Turbo, these artworks were created from the sound waves of three massive Judas Priest hits, including "Painkiller," "Turbo Lover" and "You've Got Another Thing Coming."
 
Glenn Tipton signed these artworks in England in August, and Rob Halford, Ian Hill, Scott Travis & Richie Faulkner signed them backstage at Germania Insurance Amphitheater in Austin, TX on October 25.
 
Artwork also features handwritten lyrics by Rob Halford that were digitally added to each print and Original: 
  • "HE IS THE PAINKILLER"
  • "I'M YOUR TURBO LOVER" 
  • "AIM FOR A NEW TOMORROW" 

There are only 25 prints and two Originals available per song, so go get your hands on one now before the band announces these on social media soon.
