Review : HALFORD – “Resurrection Remastered”

Halford – “Resurrection Remastered”
released May 3, 2009 on Metal God Entertainment

Rob Halford endured some highs and lows in his years apart from Judas Priest. The 2wo experiment was pretty uneven and although Fight was more of a return to form, it was not until he assembled his eponymous band that the Metal God again aspired to full potential. This is the re-release of their debut album, featuring the tracklisting that had been previously available exclusively through iTunes. The first half is unchanged from the original track listing, but the second half includes the two Japanese bonus tracks from the 2000 release (9, 13) and a pair of new songs for this edition (11, 12). The latter are among the fiercest Rob has ever recorded, delivered with fervent panache and taut urgency. 6 is a duet with fellow living legend Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden). Essential listening!
