JUDAS PRIEST OPENING FOR KISS ... DYNASTY TOUR (1979)

Rob about the tour:

"I remember everything. It was just one of the most exciting metal memories that I can recall. Firstly, we were thrilled to find out that Gene [Simmons, bass] and Paul [Stanley, vocals/guitar] were and still are big fans of Judas Priest.

"That's always a thrill, to have your fellow musicians say how much they enjoy what you do. And let me tell you that we as Judas Priest have always felt the same way towards KISS.

Glenn [Tipton, guitar], and Scott [Travis, drums], and Ian [Hill, bass], and we're all big, big fans of the band.

"So we were absolutely floored when we got the call that Gene and Paul would like you to come out and be special guests on this massive tour of the US.

"And so we did, and they are instrumental in letting Priests have the opportunity to spread them at the British Metal Gospel along the way with them. And they were great, they were very gracious, they gave us what we needed as far as what was required for us on stage.

"They were like, 'Whatever you need, let us know. We're in this together, we live the same lives, we support each other, we help each other.' And that's what KISS has always done outside of the music. As guys, they're just beautiful people.

"And so it's great that we have this ongoing relationship with KISS. And we were supposed to be doing a show together around now, I think. We should have been in Europe doing a show together but we've rescheduled that, and I hope we can do that show together in 2021.

"So the friendship and the love and support that KISS has for Priest and vice versa is as strong as it ever was."

OUT OF DARKNESS (US/NY)

Progressive Thrash Metal act from New York, formed in 1990 when three-fifths of the lineup of Sadistik Ritual—guitarists Jon Ciorciari and Greg Paravati with drummer Forrest Leighton—soldiered on with ex-Prowler bassist Sean Weiss and former Torment vocalist Ron Roshong. The quintet further progressed their foundation into an even more interesting brand of thrash metal that combined quirky and technical riffing with both melody and hard-hitting crunch.

The band is perhaps most-remembered for their debut four-song demo in 1991, recorded at Phoenix Studios; but issued a number of other recordings in the years that followed. The group also performed live alongside everyone from Nuclear Assault and Overkill to Danzig and Pantera. All of this resulted in marginal interest from record labels, but never quite secured a deal. Thus, the band faded away in the mid-'90s—yet another thrash act of the era with a wealth of material that was largely lost to time.
