" The Metal Decade is gone, on September 1990 the Painkiller see the light...after the ridicolus subminal messages trial of Stained Class era songs. Younger people than me considers Painkiller a milestone, I think is a good album, Tounch of Evil song overall, but I think they got harder and heavy not to loose the wave they created. At the end of a sold out tour Rob Halford left the band, in May 1992, six years later Rob revealed his homosexuality : All I want to do in my life is to be like Joan"

" The gold-certified 'Painkiller' found Priest at a crossroads: it was the first album with current drummer Scott Travis, and the last with Rob Halford before he jumped ship to create Fight. It's also one of the all-time greatest comebacks in metal. After years of treading water, Priest hired veteran producer Chris Tsangarides and returned with a ferocious, dark and disturbing effort highlighted by the brutal guitar assault of Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing."
