HALFORD - METALGOD The Essentials Vol. One CD + DVD
It seems fitting that Rob Halford is finally getting credit for his solo work after leaving PRIEST in the early 90s. Of course you'll still get an occasional idiot who thinks their opinionated snobbery is worth something to consider. But no it's not, in fact you losers who have slagged the man's post PRIEST output couldn't even carry the his leather. Better for you to lick his ball sweat because he is the Metal God. Halford has one of the greatest voices ever in metal. Now I'm sure some of you losers might've been conceived in a "heavy metal parking lot", while I was inside the concert hall watching PRIEST in their glory days. You still have no earthly right to disrespect a living legend. Better for you to buy this and learn something.
This compilation, approved by the Metal God himself, features some of the best material from his solo years with the bands FIGHT and HALFORD with tracks from FIGHT's "War of Words - Demos" release plus HALFORD's "Silent Screams", "Crucible", "Live Insurrection" and "Resurrection". Listening to "Resurrection", "Screaming in the Dark"or even "Made in Hell", you just can't help but raise your fist in metal triumph. The heavy metal scream that can peel paint is back again, ah but it never left. "Golgotha" is outstanding as it starts out slow in a SABBATH-esque way and then ripping into a thrash attack. "Into the Pit" and "Nailed to the Gun" are lost treasures that should've been blasting from radio stations back in the 90s. Also this CD has some surprise cuts of newer HALFORD material from 2006.
So until JUDAS PRIEST releases their two-CD conceptual opus on the life of famed 16th century French prophet, Nostradamus, sometime this year. Keep this one close by your CD player since it's for fans of old, like me, and for the new ones.
