Halford was formed in 1999 by then ex-lead Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford and is an attempt to return back to his old heavy metal roots after ending two previous projects: the street metal experience known as Fight, and the Industrial Metal experiment known as 2wo. Halford came back screaming with a vengeance; his first album Resurrection managed to make the cut into Martin Popoff's The Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time as well as the songs "Silent Screams" & the title-track itself "Resurrection" ranking in the book The Top 500 Heavy Metal Songs of All Time. As an extra surprise for newly-found Halford fans, the track "The One You Love To Hate" guest features Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson which can be heard on the studio album Resurrection as well as his live offering Live Insurrection, which is considered one of modern metal's best live albums. "The One You Love To Hate" has also been performed live with Queensrÿche's Geoff Tate.

Rob Halford - Biography - AOL Music (560 words)
In 1973, Halford's sister was dating Priest bassist Ian Hill, and one day a few members were over at the Halford's house, when they overheard Halford singing along to the radio.
With Halford on board, Priest's sound shifted to a more metallic sound, and by 1974, their first album was issued on the small Gull label, Rocka Rolla.
Halford's first post-Priest live set followed a year later with the double disc Live Insurrection, while rumors continued to persist concerning a Halford/Priest reunion (both camps have supposedly patched up their differences).
Rob Halford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (665 words)
