More than 20 years after its initial release in 2000, ROB HALFORDs first fan-hailed solo album "Resurrection" finally celebrates its well deserved repress on vinyl. 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?
