Demorou, mas chegou a hora do titã metálico, Judas Priest, lançar o enorme box de edição limitada que inclui todos os álbuns oficiais ao vivo e de estúdio lançados até o momento, e mais 13 discos inéditos.
Restaurado e mixado por Tom Allom, no La Cucina W8, e masterizado por Alex Wharton, no Abbey Road Studios, este box especial, intitulado 50 Heavy Metal Years Of Music, saiu pela Sony Music.
50 Heavy Metal Years Of Music inclui, além dos 42 CDs, fotos de Ross Halfin autografadas por cada membro da banda, lâmina de barbear em aço britânico numerada (sem corte), livro de memorabilia com fotos raras, pôsteres, anúncios e ingressos, réplicas dos pôsteres das turnês British Steel 1980 (Alemanha) e Defenders Of The Faith 1984 (Europa) e muito mais.

Rob Halford comentou: “O box set com curadoria do Judas Priest representando 50 anos do heavy metal é o tesouro definitivo que define o compromisso inabalável da banda em manter e defender a fé do heavy metal.”
O guitarrista Glenn Tipton acrescentou: “Se há um box set que você deveria ter em sua coleção de heavy metal, é este. É imortal. Proclamar e representar verdadeiramente o metal por mais de 50 anos, hasteando a bandeira e liderando orgulhosamente o caminho inspirando muitas bandas ao longo dos anos, essa seleção de 42 CDs diz tudo. É uma grande parte da história do metal e, como tal, viverá para sempre.”
Uma edição mais simples do box, intitulada Reflections, também estará disponível para compra nos formatos CD e 2LP.
