Halford's first album "Resurrection" was included in Martin Popoff's "The Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time". As well, the songs "Silent Screams" and the title-track "Resurrection" were included in Popoff's list. The track "The One You Love to Hate" included guest vocalist Bruce Dickinson, from Iron Maiden.
In 2002, Halford released the second studio album "Crucible", although no live recordings have been officially released to promote this album. A high-quality soundboard bootleg titled "Live - From the Disney House of Blues" was made available for download along with a special DEP at Robhalford.com in 2004. Halford released bonus tracks in Japan, such as "She", "Fugitive", "Rock the World Forever" and "In the Morning".
On November, 2006, Halford released a single set from the Halford IV album, titled "Forgotten Generation." The first wave of Halford releases included remastered editions of his solo band's back catalogue and initially releasing them through Apple's online iTunes Store. Fight also celebrated a release, an early recording entitled "K5- War of Words Demos," which were the demos that Rob Halford had recorded back when Fight had first formed. Lastly, a compilation was included, called "Metal God Essentials, Vol. 1," which not only had the fans' favorite Halford tunes, but also had new songs called "Forgotten Generation" and "Drop Out."
Rob Halford's third solo record, entitled "Halford III - Winter Songs", was released worldwide through all retailers on November 3, 2009. The record features new tracks recorded by his solo band between 2008โ2009, as well as traditional Christmas songs re-arranged to heavy metal renditions by Halford himself. The first single, "Get Into the Spirit" was released to radios on September 29, 2009.

Golgotha
Halford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Devil's had a taste of holy water
Lost children need your guiding hand
Take them through the fire of the promised land
Now we've come together
We're all waiting for a sign
If it takes forever
Grand Canyon, source of all our dreams
Protected from a billion years of evil
Golden fire, thunder all around
Covenants will cover up you sinners
Now we've come together
We're all waiting for a sign
If it takes forever
We believe in the divine
Overcoming tyranny to desecrate the entity - satanical
Laying waste this sick disease
That crippled, maimed, feel to our knees - like Jericho
Pile of skulls crunched under foot
Torched remains are crying out - satanical
Rising up to purge and scourge the killing of our paradise - like Jericho
Salvation
Now we've come together
We're all waiting for a sign
If it takes forever
We believe in the divine
In Halford's song "Golgotha" the lyrics revolve around the themes of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity. The opening lines of the song, "Golgotha, rise up from your tomb, Devil's had a taste of holy water," may be interpreted as a call to action for the listener to rise up and fight against evil. The concept of lost children needing guidance is also present in the lyrics, suggesting that there are people who need help navigating struggles.
The song also includes references to biblical stories, such as "Take them through the fire of the promised land" and "like Jericho," which suggest that the listener should have faith in their ability to overcome obstacles. The lyrics present the idea that even through hard times, there is something greater to believe in and hold onto. The repetitive chorus of "Now we've come together, We're all waiting for a sign, If it takes forever, We believe in the divine" paints a picture of people coming together and holding onto their beliefs in tough times, and encourages the listener to do the same.

When a live performance outstands its studio version. Unbelievable
@jurgencuypers8350
No fiddling with it in the studio, you think? I have seen Halford and Priest a million times but he never sounded like this.
@GiuseppeParisiArtist
@@jurgencuypers8350 totally agree
@marinothegreatsan
โ@@jurgencuypers8350have you seen them jp live in 80's???
@todorkolev4244
I think they are equally good with the studio song
@rodneybrimer5171
Priest has been my fav band for 42 yrs now. When Rob made his return to Metal with Ressurection nobody was happier than me. His band Halford is legit badass! Looking back I believe Rob was at his peak. The songs were unique with laser sharp guitars and melodic and POWERFUL VOCALS. Long live the greatest voice in Metal history!
@jeffmusgrave2458
Rob heavy metal Halford the voice of metal. He is like no one else!!!!!!๐ค๐๐ฏ๐ค
@taumpytears6999
Halford is so Heavy Metal even Plutonium calls him Sir and steps quietly out of his way
@kingofmetal1961
Sorry to burst your bubble Taumpy Tears, It was a nice try, but Plutonium is in the family of Actinide Metals, They, along with the lanthanides, are often called "the f-elements" because they have valence electrons in the f shell. Only thorium and uranium are naturally occurring actinides with significant abundance. They are all radioactive. (NONMETALS) A for effort!
