PHIL CAMPBELL, ALICE COOPER AND JUDAS PRIEST GIVE EPIC PERFORMANCES IN LONDON (25/7/25)
Next up was Judas Priest, and wow, what a performance, what a set, what a night. If I hadnโt already been overloaded by how good Phil Campbell and Alice Cooper were, Judas Priest were exceptional, and it finished off what was essentially a night of Hard Rock & Heavy Metal heaven for me. Getting to hear so much from Painkiller live was a real blessing, being Priest's heaviest album, it is a personal favourite of mine. I was also surprised by the inclusion of Solar Angels, which was also performed expertly live by the band.
LONDON SHOW A SUCCESS + HEALTH UPDATE
Kaineโs performance, supporting NWOBHM legends Desolation Angels, was a success on Saturday night. The event took place at the Cart & Horses (birthplace of Iron Maiden) and was well-attended, despite going up against Manowar on the same night. The feedback from those in attendance has been incredibly positive for both bands. It proves that NWOBHM still has a real and thriving scene in the UK and London.
