Sin After Sin

Untitled

Sin After Sin is the third album by the British heavy metal group Judas Priest, released in 1977. The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added. This album featured the drum work of a very young and upcoming session drummer, Simon Phillips, who was only 19 at the time of recording. The record features a cover of Joan Baez's "Diamonds and Rust", a track that would become a live favourite from then onwards. In 1988, Slayer covered the song Dissident Aggressor on their critically acclaimed South of Heaven album. One of the bonus tracks "Race With The Devil" was at first intended to take the place of "Diamonds & Rust" but their producer, Roger Glover, wanted them to switch to "Diamonds & Rust" Saying that "It would fit along with the rest of the album better."

It is said that this album was supposed to be called "Island Of Domination" after the song off of "Sad Wings Of Destiny" with a re-made version of "Island of Domination" as the title track. But they decided to stop all that & call it "Sin After Sin" because of the song "Sinner".
