The classic debut album from JUDAS PRIESTs charismatic vocalist featuring the likes of IRON MAIDENs Bruce Dickinson and producer Roy Z will be exclusively available as Gatefold black LP on 2x180 gram vinyl. This classic piece is a must have for all fans of Heavy Metal from the UK - don?t miss that one out!

You know the name, right? Come on, if you have any interest in heavy metal, then Rob Halford will immediately strike a chord. The charismatic, vocally soaring star who fronted one of the almighty bands of the genre. Judas Priest. Now doesn't the mere mention of their hallowed name send sharp shards of anticipation straight through your metal heart?

Doesn't the recollection and recognition of Halford's pre-eminent place in the history of the music we all love with a passion, and send you racing for that tennis racket, as you take aim for the goldfish bowl and let out one of those trademark screams. 'Screaming For Vengeance'? Yeah, the stuff of dreams, the nectar of heritage.

Except that right now, Rob Halford stands four-square to the winds of millennial music, facing up to the challenge and demands of the age. After leaving Priest, issuing albums with Fight and Two, the man has returned to his first musical love: heavy metal. What else?

The 'Resurrection' album sees Rob Halford and co. working with top producer Roy Z., a man closely associated with Bruce Dickinson's acclaimed recent solo output. And Dickinson himself also played his part in the project. "When we were in pre-production, Bruce asked Roy how everything was going, and Roy played him an early version of the track 'Locked & Loaded', which he loved. Bruce immediately got on the phone to his manager Rod Smallwood, which is how I've come to be involved with the Sanctuary organisation for management."
