"Hellbent Forever (HbF) was forged in the furnace for the final grand slam in late 2008 by five Priest fans who wanted to bring the flamboyant stage show and extraordinary musicianship of Judas Priest to the listening masses of the U.K.

Through relentless rehearsing and determination to be the best they have produced an evolving stage show and set list that tries to encompass over forty years of heavy metal history and the spirit of Judas Priest. Starting as nothing more than five guys in a rehearsal room bickering about what songs to put in the set (which incidentally still happens to this day) they have become one of the most talked about and praised tribute bands in the north of England."
