The iconic Hell Bent for Leather artwork
Official Judas Priest – Hell Bent for Leather sew-on patch – 8 × 10 cm
⚡ This official Judas Priest sew-on patch features the famous artwork from Hell Bent for Leather, the American edition of Killing Machine. It depicts a close-up of a riveted helmet and mirrored sunglasses reflecting fiery explosions, creating one of the band's most distinctive visual identities.
The embroidery faithfully recreates the deep black background, the vivid red Judas Priest logo and the metallic highlights of the helmet for a striking finish.
A landmark heavy metal album 🎵
Originally released in 1978 as Killing Machine, the album marked a turning point in Judas Priest's career with a more accessible yet uncompromising heavy metal sound. Tracks including Delivering the Goods, Running Wild and Hell Bent for Leather remain fan favourites.
An artwork exclusive to the US release 🔍
When the album was released in the United States in 1979, it was renamed Hell Bent for Leather and given a completely new cover. Instead of the original British artwork featuring Rob Halford on his motorcycle, the American edition introduced this dramatic close-up portrait that has since become one of Judas Priest's most recognisable images.
💡 Did you know?
The album title was changed for the American market, where the record label believed Killing Machine might be less suitable commercially. The new title, Hell Bent for Leather, was accompanied by this iconic cover, which has appeared on numerous later reissues.
