Metal icons Judas Priest are out on the road celebrating their 50th-anniversary as a band, which included a stop at Laval’s Place Bell on Monday, April 11.

The U.K. headbangers, led by the 70-year-old vocal shredder Rob Halford, performed a career-spanning set that touched on tracks from throughout their career, including metal classics like “Painkiller” and massive arena sing-alongs like shower closer “Living After Midnight.”


Check out photos below via Eric Brisson, along with the band’s setlist.

If you want to bring five decades of Priest home, the band recently released the colossal 50 Heavy Metal Years of Music box set, a 42-CD (!) set including studio albums, live shows, unreleased tracks, and plenty of other goodies. Watch a trailer for that below.
