How cool would it be if they made a movie with all the creatures and characters from the Judas Priest mythology?: The Electric Eye, the Sentinel, the Jawbreaker, the Painkiller, the Night Crawler... All together in an animated anthology, just like in Heavy Metal movie (1981).
Gianluca Podda, that’s an interesting take, since this song is pure molten metal madness in my opinion! I love Heavy Metal though, as much now as I did 40 years ago, and this song and this entire album is just pure genius.
Howling winds keep screaming around And the rain comes pouring down Doors are locked and bolted now As the thing crawls into town Straight out of hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you Nightcrawler Beware the beast in black Nightcrawler You know he's coming back Nightcrawler Sanctuary is being sought Whispered prayers a last resort Homing in its' cry distorts Terror struck they know they're caught Straight out of hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you Nightcrawler Beware the beast in black Nightcrawler You know he's coming back Nightcrawler As night is falling The end is drawing near They'll hear Their last rites echo on the wind (Spoken word) Huddled in the cellar Fear caught in their eyes Daring not to move or breathe As the creature cries Fingernails start scratching On the outside wall Clawing at the windows "Come to me" it calls Atmosphere's electric As it now descends the stairs Hiding in the darkness Is so futile from its glare Death comes in an instant As they hoped it would Souls ascend to heaven While it feasts on flesh and blood
THE album that out of the blue converted an avid Michael Jackson fan (circa 1991) to metal fan. My roommate had it playing all the time and I could not believe how great that music was, it blew my mind.
It's funny. I grew up as a kid in the 80's with comics as my biggest obsession; X-Men were my favorite. Then I discovered metal right before this album came out. Loved every second of the album from the start of course, and I always associated this song with Kurt Wagner because of my love for the X-Men.
Makes sense considering it depicts the lyrics of "Painkiller" which is arguably the most singular and pure concentration of heavy metal in sound form. Like to the point I can't think of a song in a different genre to accurately compare it to. Also, disagree. You'd probably see a picture of like, lead or something. Lol/j
As someone who is much more familiar with the heavier genres of metal and not too familiar with the popular OG heavy metal and Thrash/speed metal bands. I'm trying to get more into those bands and this is the first Judas Priest album I decided to try out, and it's fucking awesome! On the other hand the first Metallica album I heard was Master of Puppets.. And it is good but honestly it didn't hook me as much as I wanted it to, but their first Kill 'em All album was better I thought.
Painkiller is the most consistently incredible album I’ve heard from front to back. Every track is just incredible. That’s why it’s my second favorite album of all time
I'm french, I don't understand everything, the only thing I can tell you is that this part gives me chills 4:00, it's sounds so extrem and gives me the courage to do whatever fear me to do when I think about it ^^
En gros ça décris une personne qui se cache dans sa cave pendant que le Night Crawler rôde autour de sa maison, jusqu’a ce qu’il entre finalement et assassine le gars, ça me fais frissonner aussi, la chanson est super !
I'm from Russia I really like this group 👍💯And this album is a masterpiece. I heard this album for the first time in 1990 and immediately fell in love with it. And I still enjoy listening to it. 😎✌👍💯 Just super cool. 👍💯💯💯
Я с этого альбома начал слушать (стал фанатом) JP. И до сих пор он у меня как-то особняком в списке их дисков. Его как лучшее вино хочется слушать не часто, но от души. =)
I actually recently became a Judas Priest fan After hearing powerwolf's cover of this song this is freaking amazing now I wanna buy all the albums I can off of iTunes
Yeah, I love Powerwolf and I’ve heard their entire discography but the Priest version of this song is still my go-to. Both amazing though. This is one of my favorite Judas Priest songs.
If you look up heavy metal in the dictionary… You'll likely find the definition for heavy metal… Of which Judas Priest is the greatest band of all time
This song is one of their best. It is just put together so well. It builds... goes to a break and comes back even stronger. The individual musicianship is just amazing. The guitar throughout and the drums are just mesmerizing and to top it all off the range of Rob Halford's voice pulls it all together. When they say a song is "a banger" this is what they are talking about.
Copy paste Lyrics: [Verse 1] Howling winds keep screaming around And the rain comes pouring down Doors are locked and bolted now As the thing crawls into town [Pre-Chorus] Straight out of Hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you [Chorus] Night crawler Beware the beast in black Night crawler You know he's coming back Night crawler [Verse 2] Sanctuary is being sought Whispered prayers our last resort Homing in its cry distorts Terror struck they know they're caught [Pre-Chorus] Straight out of Hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you [Chorus] Night crawler Beware the beast in black Night crawler You know he's coming back Night crawler [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] As night is falling The end is drawing near They'll hear Their last rites echo on the wind [Bridge] Huddled in the cellar Fear caught in their eyes Daring not to move or breathe As the creature cries Fingernails start scratching On the outside wall Clawing at the windows Come to me it calls Atmosphere's electric As it now descends the stairs Hiding in the darkness Is so futile from its glare Death comes in an instant As they hoped it would Souls ascend to heaven While it feasts on flesh and blood [Pre-Chorus] Straight out of Hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you [Chorus] Night crawler Beware the beast in black Night crawler You know he's coming back Night crawler [Outro] He's going to get you He's going to get you Beware of the beast Night crawler Beware of the beast He's going to get you Night crawler Straight out of hell Beware of the beast He's going to get you
Still have my painkiller concert tee, and all the way back to defenders. I went to screaming but was only 13 didn't have coin for a tee, that show changed my world of music.
@@captpain1 that was a great tour , nobody will ever have any idea what they missed except us fortunate one's how amazing the sound of Judas Priest was live in the day's of the 70's ,80's and 90's!!
I love the atmosphere of this song. It was the first song I heard from this band and I still love this song to this day, although I hardly ever listen to this type of metal anymore. The clean guitar parts are great, Rob's voice, and the ambient sounds, it brings back a lot of good memories of listening to this at night, in the car, it was great.
Judas priest el mejor album Painkiller no me canso de escucharlo lo mejor del metal más lo escucho cuando más nesesito escuchar la vos de Rob HALFORD 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤟🤟🇦🇷🇦🇷
Alberto, copio y pego, amo este tipo, me hace llorar y con su edad tabajando su limitación de no llegar sus épicos altos tonales hoy mete una variedad y entrega que te llega bien profundo. Gracias Judas por tus discos, suerte la mía en haber escuchado hell bent for leather aquella vez¡¡
Sin duda descubrir el rock y el metal ha sido mi mas grande hallasgo y judas priest es una de las bandas que confirma mi grandiosa elecion tengo 17 y prefiero mil veces esto a escuchar reggeton como los demas.
Halford's 'He's gonna GET YOU!...' shrieks as this legendary song ends finish the whole affair off beautifully... Get to bed before the Nightcrawler gets you!
Absolutely stupendous, Thank you, Love Judas Priest, Keep on rockin 😃🤘🎸🥰💞😀🤟🎸 Peace, love to everyone, Thank you universe 🎸🤟😀🥰🤘😃😁🦄🐺🌈🧿👁♾️♾️💫🛸🦅👽❤️😍✨️🧝♀️💙
Hi Priest thank you so much for releasing this song in this perfect quality of audio, this song was my favorite one when I began listening to Judas priest and to these days it continue giving me goosebumps ❤️🤘🏻 I will be so grateful if you release Run Of The Mill from the Rocka Rolla album in this quality and clearly a lot of your fans too 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
So catchy 🔥This one is always stuck on my brain. Plus I love the "word trickery" where you think it's going to be a different word: "Don't look behind you n-" (Now?!) "Nnnnnn-IGHTCRAWLER!" 😄
