Scott's Metal Track of the Dau - The Hellion/Electric Eye by Judas Priest

Today's Metal Track is The Hellion/Electric Eye by Judas Priest. These two tracks are the opening tracks of the band's 1982 album Screaming for Vengeance with the The Hellion being the 41 second intro.

This song is inspired by the book 1984 by George Orwell and refers to the satellite that watches over the citizens at all times as part of the Big Brother style of government. When citizen are caught rebelling, they "disappear".

"Always in focus
You can't feel my stare
I zoom into you
But you don't know I'm there"



I always think of Carl when I hear Screaming for Vengeance. Starts at 0:50:
