Halford, Rob with family and friends - Celestial LP

Without question, Rob Halford is one of heavy metal’s all-time great vocalists - as heard through
his highly influential and groundbreaking work with Judas Priest. But over his career, he has also
proven able to master a variety of other styles vocally - including holiday-themed music. And in
time for this holiday season, Halford will be releasing an all-new album, entitled Celestial.
Credited to Rob Halford with Family and Friends, the album mixes holiday classics with all-new
compositions, and will appeal to lovers of traditional holiday music and headbangers alike. “The
great thing about heavy metal is it’s got these kinds of multiple dimensions,” explains the man
also known as the Metal God. “I think when you look at it from an outside point of view - if you’re
not really familiar with the metal scene - it can look pretty intimidating. And it is a very strong,
powerful experience. But it comes at different levels. I think the music that we’ve made on
Celestial, for example, gives a display of that. Metal maniacs - as we call ourselves - are just as
ready for the holidays as everybody else. And what we’ve tried to do with this music is to reach
out to as many of those metal dimensions as we possibly can.”
