To be honest if he doesnt do this I am now talking to some friends about taking some proper classic metal songs and throwing christmas lyrics over the top lol.

Would be superb!

Christmas! The meaning of fun
The time when we share and enjoy
Mulled wine, immense fruitcakes
Meals that force you to loose weight
Forced in, behind the table
Eating, to your heart's content
Waiting, for the morning to come
Presents lying under the tree!

What will I get?
I hope it's not another pair of socks!

Something along those lines?

Go to the Halford shop here, there's a video clip with an excerpt from one of the new songs (I imagine it's 'Get Into The Spirit', his first single from this album), it actually sounds really good, and fifty billion times better than Nostradamus!!

But still! Amazing front cover and I am sure this will be funny as hell! I hope he actually does some metal songs, but with christmas lyrics. if it is all slow stuff it will be rubbish. But if he takes a painkiller-esce christmas approach it will be classic.

Chrorus to Painkiller could be all like: THIS, IS, FA-THER CHRISTMAS
THISSS
ISSS
FA-THER CHRISTMAS

Riding on his sled,
The whole world he will please,
Dressed in red he fly's out the skies
Spreading Christmas Glee

Those on the naughty list
A piece of coal for thee
You better be asleep cause he was seeeeee

ETC...etc...would be more epic then anything ever!

Brilliant! I am crying with laughter!

Wow, here we go! Two new tracks have been unveiled!





Get Into The Spirit is pretty much a bog-standard Halford solo track, but We Three Kings is incredible.

Wow.

Not that impressed with either i'm afraid.

The intro to 3 kings was bloody rocking though.

Drum sound makes me want to die.

HAHAHA HOLY SHIT! 3 Kings is fucking brilliant, i have a giant smile on my face right now. The lyrics are sounding glorious comming from Halford, this man is fucking heavy metal santa! This is brilliant and glorious!

Into the Spirit sounded really really cool! I can not wait for this!

They're not supposed to be impressive, they're supposed to be hilarious.

Woeful.

Woenderful. As Only Halford can do! What a magic heavy metal holiday maument.

Frightening.

Look what the guy who sang on Stained Class, Sad Wings and Screaming For Vengeance IS DOING NOW.

Well upsetting, sorry Jon but I'd rather have serious heavy metal magic than something just 'hilarious'.

Of course it would be better if it was actually good, but let's face it, albums like Stained Class and Sad Wings will never be made again, the same can be said for Maiden and all the albums up until Seventh Son, it's just not going to happen. So the least they can do is give us some hilarious joy in one form or another. If we can't have another amazing album, I'd rather have something hilarious than just something plain awful and non-hilarious like Nostradamus.

Anyway, this is just an hilarious Halford heavy metal christmas gift adventure, the next Judas Priest album might actually be good if what Halford was saying is true (going 'retro' and all that... basically trying to make another British Steel I think).
