Beyond the Realms of Death - Judas Priest - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Judas Priest is one of the most important bands in English heavy metal, becoming widely known as pioneers of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement of the 1970s. And while much of their catalog consists of energetic bangers such as “Breaking the Law,” the group was never afraid to explore the more emotional side of their music. One of the greatest examples of this is their 1978 power ballad “Beyond the Realms of Death,” a cut from their 1978 album Stained Class. Displaying a masterful use of dynamics, contrasting the gentle verses with the louder, more powerful choruses, “Beyond the Realms of Death” explores the topic of depression and suicidal ideation. It is a slow burn of a song, building up through the course of its 8-minute runtime and featuring several guitar solos by guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing. “Beyond the Realms of Death” was written by Rob Halford and Les Binks, and produced by Judas Priest along with Dennis Mackay. It is widely regarded as one of the most powerful anti-suicide anthems of the heavy metal age.
