Written, arranged and recorded during 2008 and 2009, "Halford III - Winter Songs" celebrates one of the most exciting holiday periods of the year.

"Well, I've always said I wanted to produce a Christmas CD," commented Halford. "The HALFORD band has assembled a fantastic release, and we're excited to have produced a collection of holiday tracks which all of us have enjoyed from a very early age."

"Halford III - Winter Songs" debuts new HALFORD tracks "Get Into The Spirit", "When Christmas Comes For Everyone", "Light Of The World", "What Child Is This", "Oh Holy Night", "Come All Ye Faithful" and more.

HALFORD's last studio album, "Crucible", came out in 2002. "Metal God Essentials, Vol. 1", a 2007 collection containing 15 songs spanning Rob Halford's solo career, featured two new songs, "Forgotten Generation" and "Drop Out".

	The holiday album is awesome.

	COMMENT \| Well now posted by : Metal Fisted 11/7/2009 8:29:37 PM

	It doesn't take much to please RiotAct666 as usual. I personally think the idea of metal Xmas songs and albums is a lame concept, we got one from Twisted Sister and that was plenty, it was more meant as a novelty than an actual stroke of brilliance imo. So Rob how about writing some more classic Priest on the level of Painkiller, or does the band have nothing more to prove in the studio?

	COMMENT \| should be cool posted by : heltorne 11/7/2009 11:44:23 PM

	Wondering if they are going to bring up ORIGINAL topics like him being gay? I never hear enough about that.

	COMMENT \| so.. posted by : Self_Science 11/8/2009 7:15:56 AM

	what's the ratio of new halford to 'christmas' songs here?

	COMMENT \| I played Winter Songs posted by : duperton 11/8/2009 9:54:05 AM

	last night at a little get together of friends...and two of them said, O Come All Ye Faithful was the best singing they've ever heard from Rob Halford...which of course is pretty high praise of The MEtal God. The CD is awesome....we also listened to a little Kiss, Sonic Boom, and Megadeth's Endgame. The beers were flowing and it was a blast.

	Well, that's not great... That song's pretty dull, nothing on the first two Halford albums, especially Resurrection. They should get shot of Roy Z - he's a truly terrible guitarist.
