Go on, listen to this one. And then name me a song that is more metal.
I'll wait.
Judas Priest was firing on all cylinders--10 out of 10 for fans of the V-10 powered Dodge Viper--when it released Painkiller (1990). The title track is a MONSTER, and deserves all the accolades it gets. As do songs like Nightcrawler, and Touch of Evil.
But this one... Between the Hammer and the Anvil? Oh boy. If you don't like this, I don't like you. Listen and you'll agree. It's steel. 100% distilled heavy metal.
Storm warning, but there's no fear.

Classic song from a classic album. Unbelievably, there are more than a few people out there who only like Priest up until the early '80s. Fucking metalheads...
I've seen the same calcification of the metal spirit. The same folks who insist that Maiden was not Maiden after Killers. Halford's lyrics at the end of this song are proof that they are wrong.
