Halford - The Mower

[nomisofsiman]

This one might be a grower. I've only listened to it a couple of times, but one thing it definitely is is HEAVY!!!! Good lord! Rob definitely isn't mellowing out in his old age. I do like practically anything the guy does though, so I am looking forward to the eventual release of his new solo disc this fall.

needs more vuvuzela

 

[Jasonic]

Sounds like Jugulator-era Priest.

I like his vox, but the music is way too modern for me.

 

[Fire breath]

Not much melody in this song vocally speaking. Very heavy though as you said and the solo is quite cool.

 

[Urban breed]

Never heard him sound so much like Udo.

Never heard him sound so much like Udo.

Wow! He really does.

 

[Creeps]

[VenomGA]

I really like this but he sounds just like UDO...why???

 

[MYSTIC1]

I like it a lot. Looking forward to some tour dates- it's been too long...

 

[Metalmilitia2000]

Downloaded it from his site last night, have probably listened to it about 25 times. Great song and the exact direction I want to see the Metal God going in!

But better than Jugulator.

It does sound a bit modern, but at the same time it's not really that far removed from some of the stuff on Crucible.

That's a bizarre name for a song...The Mower...

[GoRillaBoy76]

if the rest of the album is going to sound like this I might want to check it out

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

Rob Halford is my favorite singer of all time. So, needless to say, I love this!

 

[drmetal8]

Love it.

If you watch the video on youtube.com you can click on the little "soccer-icon" and your wish will be granted.

I'll tell you why Halford sounds like Udo, VenomGA,

The guy's 58 years old and still trying to scream like a banshee! Add to that the fact that he smokes, drinks, and is (according to tourmates) a couch potato on the road, and he's bound to start sounding rougher at some point. That said, I like the new song, and I'm glad that Halford is putting out another solo album. The first two rocked, and I can't imagine this one not doing the same.


Stay metal. Never rust.

Maybe, though his voice is really smooth and clean on Nostradamus.

I think the harsher Painkiller-style vox simply match his solo material more.

I still never picked up any Halford solo discs.
I should someday check em out.
Just the few tunes I have heard seem as I said a bit too "modern" sounding

 

[Pelata]

I like it...better than Priest's recent output...I think Rob sounds great!
