Information AboutHalford (band) |
Halford was formed in 1999 by the then ex-lead , and the Industrial Metal experiment known as 2wo . Halford came back screaming with a vengeance; his first album '' Resurrection '' managed to make the cut into Martin Popoff's The Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time as well as the songs "Silent Screams" & the title-track itself "Resurrection" ranking in the book The Top 500 Heavy Metal Songs of All Time. As an extra surprise for newer Halford fans, the track "The One You Love To Hate" guest features Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson which can be heard on the studio album ''Resurrection'' as well as his live offering '' Live Insurrection ''. "The One You Love To Hate" was also performed live with Queensrÿche 's Geoff Tate . In 2002 Halford released his second studio album '' Crucible '', although no live recordings have been officially released to promote this album. However, a high-quality soundboard bootleg titled "Live - From The Disney House Of Blues" was made available for download along with a special DEP at Robhalford.com in 2004. And this far is the only representation of live ''Crucible'' tracks. Although there are no live tracks, Halford did supply some territories (namely Japan) with bonus tracks; "She", "Fugitive", "Rock The World Forever" and "In The Morning". There is a video for the track "In The Morning" which can be watched at Robhalford.com. On November 20th, 2006, Halford celebrated with the debut of the single set to be on the upcoming Halford IV album, titled "Forgotten Generation." This was well received by fans, and was the first Halford track to be released in four years since the reunion of Judas Priest. The first wave of Halford releases came out on November 28th, 2006, which included remastered editions of his solo band's back catalogue and initially releasing them through Apple's online ITunes Store . Fight also celebrated a release, an early recording entitled "K5- War of Words Demos," which were the demos that Rob Halford had recorded back when Fight had first formed. Lastly, a compilation was included, called "Metal God Essentials, Vol. 1," which not only had the fans' favorite Halford tunes, but also had a new song called "Drop Out." DISCOGRAPHY
