"Sad Wings of Destiny" is the second album by the British heavy metal band Judas Priest, released in 1976. The album cover, titled "Fallen Angels," was illustrated by Patrick Woodroffe. It is particularly notable for introducing the forked-like symbol known as the "Judas Priest Cross," which is depicted as being held by angels. "Sad Wings of Destiny" was Judas Priest's second and final studio album recorded under contract with Gull Records, an independent British label. Despite critical acclaim, the band struggled financially due to a lack of support from the label. Shortly after changing management, the band parted ways with Gull and signed with Columbia Records.
