It is universally agreed that one of the greatest heavy metal vocalists of all-time is Rob Halford – who is often referred to as the “Metal God” due to his distinctive, multi-octave singing voice, and his larger-than-life, leather n’ studs persona.
While best-known as the long-time singer of Judas Priest, Halford has also launched his own successful solo career. And now, two of his classic solo efforts will be issued on vinyl for the first time ever – “Crucible” and “Made of Metal.” Both albums were produced by Roy Z. 2002’s “Crucible” spawned such head-banging favorites as “Betrayal” and the title track, while 2010’s “Made of Metal” gave us “Till the Day I Die” and “Fire and Ice”.
Both will be issued in several limited edition color variants – “Crucible” in the colors black (900 units), neon violet (500), ghostly purple (500), and black purple/navy splatter (100), while “Made of Metal” will be issued in black (900), white (500), coronetto (500), and ghostly (100). A limited number of copies of each variant will be personally signed by Rob Halford.
“I am really proud to see these two Halford band records released on vinyl for the first time,” says the Rob Halford. “My fans will love the packaging and care that went into these re-issues.”
With vinyl’s popularity at an all-time high, these two vintage metal masterpieces by the Metal God will undoubtedly be highly sought after by collectors – grab them from here while you can!
