The Heavy Metal world would have looked a lot differently without Rob Halford. You will read that in any respectable report about this genre of music. Heavy Metal’s characteristics are based on Rob’s enormous voice and his outfits of clothing. That is why his nick name is Metal God. Rob Halford delved into his own career after having laid down the trend when he played the role of figure head in Judas Priest. He decided to create music under his own name via the bands FIST, 2WO and other projects. Several albums were released under the name Halford and in 2006 he founded his own company called ‘Metal God Entertainment’. From this, six albums were re-released containing previously unheard bonus material. For the first time, there was also a compilation CD released of his solo material. This ‘Metal God Essentials Vol.1’ gives a nice overview of Rob’s solo material over the past years and contains a few new songs as well. Every Heavy Metal fan knows what to expect starting from the first scream. Rob has that very typical and recognizable voice that can accommodate all kinds of Metal styles. Those twin guitars that you encounter on the Judas Priest albums were also used in his solo work. The upbeat songs are even more extreme and there’s even a place for the slow and enticing pieces. Rob can be grateful for his acrobatic voice because it’s his claim to fame. There’s a bonus DVD for the fans too. It contains behind the scenes footage and a few clips from the song “Never Satisfied”, off the very first Judas Priest album, ‘Rocka Rolla’. ‘Metal God Essentials Vol.1’ gives a nice and varied view of the capabilities of this top notch guy!
