Halford is the eponymous heavy metal band formed by the iconic lead vocalist of Judas Priest, Rob Halford. Known as "The Metal God" for his powerful and wide-ranging voice, Rob Halford embarked on his solo project with the formation of Halford in 1999, following his departure from Judas Priest in the early 1990s. The band marked Halford's return to the classic heavy metal style that he pioneered with his former band, further cementing his status as a pillar of the genre.

The group's debut album, "Resurrection," was released in 2000 to critical acclaim and is remembered for its melodic hooks and robust metal riffs, reminiscent of Judas Priest's earlier work, yet distinct in its execution. Halford continued to produce heavy metal records, including "Crucible" and the Christmas-themed "Halford III: Winter Songs," showcasing Halford's versatility and willingness to experiment within the genre. The band's fourth studio album, "Halford IV – Made Of Metal," released in 2010, delivered on its title's promise with anthemic tracks celebrating the metal lifestyle. Meanwhile, live albums such as "Live Insurrection" and "Live in Anaheim" capture the raw energy of the band's performances and the commanding presence of Rob Halford as a frontman. The 2019 album "Celestial" features a collection of holiday-themed tracks and original songs, illustrating the band's capacity to blend the spirit of the season with their signature heavy metal sound. Rob Halford's legacy with Halford complements his storied career with Judas Priest while showcasing his profound influence on metal music as an enduring genre.
