The first re-release of the debut full-length studio album by British Heavy Metal band, side project of Rob Halford, vocalist of legendary Judas Priest.
Former Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford finally re-embraced his roots, formed a band simply called Halford, and recorded a tremendous album of pure Heavy Metal!
His three early-90s Fight releases were Metallic, unlike 1998s disastrous Two album, "Voyeurs", which was executive produced by Trent Reznor. Add to the musical shift Halford's new makeup-heavy image, and public admission of his homosexuality and longtime fans were surprised, to say the least.
Now, Halford brought out the leather and motorcycle and recruited guitarists Patrick Lachman and Mike Chlasciak, bassist Ray Riendeau, and drummer Bobby Jarzombek to start over. The presence of this new band and producer Roy Z obviously inspired Halford because "Resurrection" is a triumphant return to form. It's the real thing, none of that Rap-Metal, Alternative-Metal hybrid stuff. Halford stretches his voice out by utilizing everything from piercing falsetto wails to sinister, throaty rumbles. 
The album includes "The One You Love to Hate" song, featuring Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson. "Silent Screams" is a re-recorded song that was originally written by Halford's previous band, Two.
In September 2003, "Resurrection" was ranked number 54 on a list of "The Top 100 Heavy Metal Albums" by online magazine Metal-Rules.com. In 2005, "Resurrection" was ranked number 320 in Rock Hard Magazine's book "The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time".

Remastered re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary British Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
The only album to feature drummer Alan Moore, "Sad Wings Of Destiny" is considered the album on which Judas Priest consolidated their sound and image, and songs from it such as "Victim of Changes" and "The Ripper" have since become live standards. Noted for its riff-driven Heavy Metal sound and the wide range of Rob Halford's vocals, the album displays a wide variety of styles, moods, and textures, inspired by an array of bands such as Queen, Deep Purple, and Black Sabbath. Building on the Hard/Prog of bands like Queen and Wishbone Ash, plus the twin-guitar innovations of the latter and Thin Lizzy, "Sad Wings Of Destiny" fused these new influences with the Gothic Doom of Black Sabbath, the classical precision of Deep Purple, and the tight riffery of the more compact Led Zeppelin tunes.
The centrepiece "Victim of Changes" is an eight-minute track featuring heavy riffing trading off with high-pitched vocals, extended guitar leads, and a slow, moody breakdown toward the end. "Tyrant" and "The Ripper" are short, dense, high-powered rockers with many parts and changes. Riffs and solos dominate "Genocide", "Island of Domination", and "Deceiver", and the band finds more laid-back moments in the crooning piano-backed "Epitaph" and the moody "Dreamer Deceiver".
"Sad Wings Of Destiny" had a positive reception but weak sales as it was released just as Punk Rock was dominating the spotlight in the UK. The band recorded their first two albums with the independent Gull label under tight budgets (the label provided a recording budget of £2000 for each of the band's first two albums). After living off a single meal per day while working side jobs to support themselves (Tipton as a gardener, Downing in a factory, and Hill driving a delivery van), the band grew frustrated with the financial situation and signed with CBS Records for their next album, "Sin After Sin" (1977). Breaking their contract resulted in the rights to "Sad Wings Of Destiny" and its demo recordings falling into Gull's hands.
Anyway, the year 1976 was crucial for the evolution of Heavy Metal, as landmark albums like Rainbow's "Rising" and Scorpions' "Virgin Killer" began to reshape the genre. Perhaps none was quite as important as Judas Priest's sophomore effort, "Sad Wings Of Destiny", which simultaneously took Heavy Metal to new depths of darkness and new heights of technical precision. More than any other Heavy Metal album of its time, "Sad Wings Of Destiny" offered the blueprint for the way forward. What's striking is how deeply this blueprint resonates through the years, from the Prog ambitions of Iron Maiden to the thematic echoes in a pair of '80s Thrash Metal masterpieces.

The fifth full-length studio album, and the second Christmas album, by the solo-project of legendary British Heavy Metal vocalist, singer of Judas Priest.
Released ten years after "3: Winter Songs", beside of the band's members this successor collection includes members of Rob Halford's family and his friends, and was released under the band's name Rob Halford With Family & Friends instead of Halford.
The album features Metallized Christmas carols and traditional holiday tunes, and a few Halford originals in the holiday vein, recorded specially for this project: "Celestial", "Donner And Blitzen", "Morning Star", and "Protected By The Light".
"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", "Joy To The World", and others get the full-on Judas Priest treatment, complete with chugging guitars, guitar whiz solos, and cowbell keeping time in tandem with sleigh bells.
"Celestial" is a fun reimagining of holiday and Metalhead traditions alike. Combine Halford’s voice, family and friends, the sound of classic Heavy Metal and Christmas, and you have a recipe for greatness, which is pretty much what "Celestial" is!
The vinyl includes download card.
