WHY?? WHY?? WHY??? First Twisted Sister, now Halford? That's unfortunately the case as the JUDAS PRIEST frontman will be releasing Halford III – Winter Songs on his own Metal God Records. The disc will include "a collection of new Halford-penned tracks plus traditional holiday favorites presented with original arrangements by HALFORD". Here are some of the tracks already announced:
– ‘Get Into The Spirit’
– ‘When Christmas Comes For Everyone’
– ‘Light Of The World’
– ‘What Child Is This’
– ”Oh Holy Night’
– ‘Come All Ye Faithful’
UGH!! The only saving grace is that Halford's backing band is full of seriously skilled musicians including Roy Z. on guitar, Metal Mike Chlasciak on guitar, Mike Davis on bass and (one of Frank's favorite drummers) Bobby Jarzombek on drums. So, it might be cool despite it's complete lameness. I guess we'll see at the end of the month when the first single is released (a full 3 months before winter even officially kicks off).
Did Halford not see our AntiChrist-mas special a few years back?
