Some Heads Are Gonna Roll - Judas Priest - MP3 instrumental karaoke

By the mid-1980s, Judas Priest were one of the most commercially successful heavy metal acts in both the United Kingdom and the United States, with albums like British Steel (1980), Point of Entry (1981), and Screaming for Vengeance (1982) ranking up high on the charts and racking up numerous certifications on both sides of the Atlantic. Released in 1984, their ninth album Defenders of the Faith largely stuck to their tried-and-true formula of instrumental virtuosity and anthemic choruses on singles like "Love Bites," "Freewheel Burning," and "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll." Written by American Bob Halligan Jr., the latter is a cautionary tale about the possibility of future holocausts and systematic genocide. Shortly after its release as a single in February 1984, "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll" reached Number 97 on the UK Singles Chart and Number 42 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. The song was also featured in the 1997 compilation The Best of Judas Priest: Living After Midnight.
