Band: Rob Halford
Title: Resurrection
Label: Metal-Is / Sanctuary Records

The man is back, yes Rob Halford delivers what he does best, never mind past projects, this time it's for real.  This album shows Halford at his prime. Judas Priest fans must be crying out for a reunion after listening to the blistering tracks on this album.

Each track absolutely screams out pure metal to your ears. After all those years since he departed from Judas Priest he has come back with an album worthy of his talent.

The Title track has Mr Halford reaching the notes only he can.  'Resurrection' is the only title that this album could have really, as back from the land of the dead this man and his vocal chords burst back into life as if they were never away.

In the past he may have looked like an extra from the video YMCA, but the cover of this album shows him sitting astride a motor bike clad in black leathers and by the look on his face this is one mean dude who will not be laughed at by anyone.

He's mean, he's bad and he rocks like only the old time classic rockers could. It was 15 years ago since I first saw this man in concert and he totally blew us away with his power and might. Totally committed to every single note of every song he performed. To look at him now on the cover of this album he doesn't look a day older, and to be honest his voice has not suffered the ravage of the years at all, if anything he his voice has matured and has all that it had before and a whole lot more to offer.

The opening lines of ' Silent Screams' is slow and soft and you really wouldn't believe anyone who could sing this so gently could carry on to the high pitched screams that follow once the track gets going.

'Cyberworld' blasts through you like a bolt from the blue, a track reminiscent of Free Wheel Burning. It's fast its furious and it will give you whiplash!

'Twist' is somewhat of a surprising find on this album and to be honest it wouldn't be wrong to say it could have been found on an Alice Cooper album. If you had to choose one track off the album to say what the clubs might pick up on then I would say this would be a strong contender and could see Rob capturing the attention of a new league of fans that wouldn't have listened to his heavier material.

Want an album to help blow those cobwebs away? Well this is the one for you then.
