ROB HALFORD Wants To Release Original TWO Recordings

July 18, 2007

Sarah Kurchak of ChartAttack.com reports that JUDAS PRIEST frontman Rob Halford plans to offer more of his FIGHT and HALFORD material, including box sets and a FIGHT DVD, through his new company, Metal God Entertainment. Due to popular demand, he's also looking into releasing material by TWO, his project with NINE INCH NAILS' Trent Reznor.

"Everyone's asking me about TWO," Rob said. "The reason that we really haven't gone there yet is because we're trying to figure out all of the business side of that scenario. When I separated from Sanctuary in London, they gave me the opportunity to buy back all of my HALFORD solo material. You know, obviously the recordings and the photos and the videos and everything else. So we did a really sweet deal there and then Sony BMG have been really cool about me gaining access to all of the FIGHT material, because that was originally on Epic. The TWO project was with Trent Reznor's label, Nothing Records, through Interscope. And I wasn't really sure there would be that much demand for it, but the fact is that everybody keeps asking me about it and I'm really pleased about that. 'Cause, to some extent, I think that it was overlooked because it wasn't metal as people know me for, but it was a fantastic collaboration with Trent and what I would like for people to hear are the original recordings that Trent first listened to. And then when he became involved with Dave 'Rave' Ogilvie from SKINNY PUPPY in Vancouver, the three of us put our heads together and created that final CD. So I think that it would be great if everybody had an opportunity to listen to the original songs, because they are a lot tougher, you know, they're a lot edgier. They've got more of a rock/metal vibe going to them."
