Born on August 25, 1951, in Birmingham, ENGLAND, Rob John Halford began
singing as a teenager, fronting a local Hard-Rock band, Hiroshima and
working as a theatrical lighting engineer. In 2000 Rob Halford returned to his Metal roots and formed a band simply called Halford; he recruited guitarists Patrick Lachman and Mike Chlasciak, bassist Ray Riendeau and drummer Bobby Jarzombek releasing in August "Resurrection"; the record peaked at #5 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers and reached #140 on The Billboard 200 charts. "Crucible" followed in June 2002, reaching only #144 in the U.S. and not charting in Great Britain. Halford then re-joined Judas Priest in 2003, the re-energized band released the career-spanning box set "Metalogy" in 2004 and followed with European and U.S. tours. The new studio album, "Angel Of Retribution", was released in early 2005 to critical acclaim. November 2006 saw the release of "Halford: Metal God Essentials Vol. 1"; the 15-track set features Halford's material, rare demo recordings of Rob Halford's first solo band and two new Halford tracks: the single "Forgotten Generation" and "Drop Out". Just in time for the 2009 holiday season comes a release that is sure to grab the attention of Heavy-Metal fans worldwide, as Halford debuts his first holiday CD, "Halford 3 Winter Songs", on his new label Metal God Records, it is a collection of new Halford-penned tracks plus traditional holiday favorites presented with original arrangements by the band: Rob Halford, Chlasciak, Jarzombek, guitarist + producer Roy Z. and new bass player Mike Davis. The 10-song set includes the single "Get Into The Spirit".
