Demolition is the fourteenth studio album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, and the first in the decade of the 2000s.

[6] In 2018, Tim "Ripper" Owens pledged to re-record this album and its predecessor Jugulator as he feels that his era of the band has "been erased".

[8] Guitarist Richie Faulkner cites "Hell Is Home" as his favourite song, "It's really heavy and the vocal melody is really great.

The band's main songwriting team had long consisted of Rob Halford, K. K. Downing, and Tipton.

This was the first album since Painkiller to feature a guest appearance by keyboardist Don Airey, who had played on "A Touch of Evil."
