Editor's note

Halford, the straightforward metal band after Judas Priest.

Rob Halford's post-Priest project stuck to heavy riffs and familiar themes across albums like 'Resurrection' and 'Crucible'.

For a quick sense of Halford, try 'Jawbreaker' or 'Rock The World Forever' from the debut. They're straightforward, no-frills metal tracks that define the band's approach.

Halford gave fans exactly what they wanted after Rob left Judas Priest: no reinvention, just reliable metal. Songs like 'Jawbreaker' and 'Rock The World Forever' from the debut 'Resurrection' carried that sound forward with aggressive, guitar-driven energy. The band's consistency, through records like 'Crucible' in 2002, made it a steady presence in the genre.

Halford formed in 1992 with musicians like Patrick Lachman and Bobby Jarzombek, releasing 'Resurrection' that same year. They kept putting out albums like 'Halford IV: Made of Metal' in 2010, always working within that established heavy metal framework without dramatic shifts.

Archive material and source history

Halford formed in 1992 after Rob Halford left Judas Priest, bringing together musicians like guitarists Patrick Lachman and Mike Chlasciak, bassist Ray Riendeau, and drummer Bobby Jarzombek. Their debut album 'Resurrection' arrived with songs like 'Jawbreaker' and 'Rock The World Forever' that carried the heavy metal sound forward without trying to reinvent it.

Over the next couple decades they put out records like 'Crucible' in 2002 and 'Halford IV: Made of Metal' in 2010, sticking to a straightforward metal approach that felt familiar to fans of the genre. The music didn't dramatically shift styles, just worked within the established framework of heavy riffs and Halford's recognizable vocal delivery.

Rob Halford's public discussion of his sexuality during this period brought attention that extended beyond the music itself, though the band's catalog remained focused on traditional metal themes rather than overtly political statements. Tracks like 'In to The Pit' and 'The One You Love To Hate' delivered exactly what the title promised, aggressive, guitar-driven metal without much subtlety.
