Rob Halford Gives Us A Gift For The Holiday Season

When you hear the name Rob Halford you immediately think Judas Priest. As well you should! Halford has been given the title of the Metal God but, would you also associate his iconic metal figure with a Christmas album? Not a parody album, a serious, mind blowing, holiday album by the Metal God himself.

Well, it grabbed this metal heads attention. Just in time for the gift giving season, Rob Halford has released Winter Song, his first solo release in over seven years. It includes original tracks including, “Get Into The Spirit” and “When Christmas Comes For Everyone.” as well as Christmas classics such as “Oh Holy Night” and “Come All Ye Faithful” which are set to original arrangements.

Rob’s solo project is aptly named “Halford” and includes Roy Z and Mike Chlasciak on guitars, Mike Davis on bass, and Bobby Jarzombek on drums.

Whether you are a fan of Rob’s, Judas Priest, or just want to an incredible Christmas album to your holiday collection, I suggest you pick up this Winter Song.  It is immaculately played, beautifully written, and superbly sung by Rob…as always.
