RESURRECTION is the debut album by a heavy metal band Halford released in 2000 and led by Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford. The album features "The One You Love to Hate," a duet with Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson. RESURRECTION was ranked number 54 on Metal-Rules.com list "Top 100 Heavy Metal Albums".
Here the ex-Judas Priest banshee gives the fans what they've been craving for nearly a decade - a return to his classic metal roots. After the brutal metal of Fight and the industrial experimentation of Two, Rob Halford seems to have finally purged himself and is once again delivering the goods. The thunderous title track heralds the finest material he's come up with since Judas Priest's DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH. "Silent Screams" utilizes the songwriting talents of Alice Cooper and Union producer Bob Marlette for a killer tune that features Halford's lower register dubbed over his famously piercing high notes, to mighty effect. "Made in Hell" tells of the birth of Halford's addiction to metal music, and his subsequent worldwide spreading of the gospel, while "The One You Love to Hate" has him paired with Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson, reason alone to purchase this album. The two came together through Roy Z, who produced RESURRECTION as well as three of Dickinson's solo efforts. Whatever career missteps Rob Halford may have made in the alternative-drenched 90's, with RESURRECTION he's redeemed himself. Get the leather and spiked bracelets out of the closet.
