Review of the week:
HALFORD - Resurrection / Metal Is
The god of Heavy Metal is back with a vengeance. The new album of Halford has nothing to do with his previous projects. (thank god) He has returned to his roots and he is playing pure, classic heavy metal with a very fresh sound and a very modern approach to it. There are 12 songs in the album and all of them are excellent, the least to say. Roy Z has done an excellent job producing the album and helping Rob with the arrangements and compositions and the voice of Rob seems to be as good as ever. The songs are fucking heavy, melodic and powerful and the result is an explosive album. The duet with Bruce Dickinson is a dream come true for every metal fan around and the song it self is one of the best in the album. That's exactly what I expected from the man and he hasn't disappointed me. This is exactly how metal should be played and I am pretty certain that this album will establish the reputation of Rob. A reputation lost in the past years because of his non metal projects. Get it as fast as possible. This is classic metal at it's best.
