Hell Bent for Leather (UK title: Killing Machine) is an album by Judas Priest. They released it in March 1979, but copyrighted and published in November 1978.

When "Killing Machine" was going to be released in the US, the American branch of Columbia/CBS didn't like the "murderous implications" of the album title and it was re-titled "Hell Bent for Leather" for stateside release. The track "The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown)" was added to the running order, as it wasn't on the UK release.
