Killing Machine is the fifth studio album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released on 9 October 1978 by Columbia Records. The album pushed the band towards a more commercial style while still featuring the dark lyrical themes of their previous albums. At about the same time, the band members adopted their now-famous “leather-and-studs” fashion image, inspired by Rob Halford’s interest in leather culture. It is the band’s last studio album to feature drummer Les Binks. In the United States, it was released with a different track listing as Hell Bent for Leather due to controversy over the Cleveland Elementary School shooting.
The album was retitled Hell Bent for Leather for its US release in early 1979, because the US branch of Columbia/CBS did not like the “murderous implications” of the title. Both album titles are drawn from the titles of songs on the album with “The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)”, an early Fleetwood Mac cover, being added to the US release.
The album was also pressed in red vinyl in the UK.
