Judas Priest is a legendary metal band. They had hit after hit spanning 4 decades and laid the groundwork for many new bands to come. They certainly set the bar, and raised it as they went along. The name of this band echoes the purpose of this website, Judas Priest, a Priest who teaches Jesus' secrets..
Give their lyrics another read, you might be quite surprised to find that the spiritual context is very strong and quite obvious throughout their nearly half century span.
