Biblical: Rob Halford's Heavy Metal Scriptures | ROB. HALFORD
1 post | 2 read
The Metal God, himself, Rob Halford--lead vocalist of Judas Priest and author of the critically acclaimed and reader-beloved autobiography, Confess--delivers yet again, now with the bible of hard rock and heavy metal, all in his enlightening, hilarious, and one-of-a-kind voice. Rob Halford has long been known for his legendary voice. As the front man of Judas Priest, his vocals have been tremendous, and tremendously influential. In 2020, he brought his voice to the page with a glorious autobiography. Fans and readers loved Halford's frank and open narrative, as well as his terrific insight and sense of humor. In an ideal follow-up, Halford runs his lively eye over all facets of the hard rock history and the heavy metal world. Biblical is an encyclopedia and manifesto in which Halford shares his opinions, memories, and anecdotes regarding every element of the rock and roll work and lifestyle from tours to tattoos, riffs to riders, and drugs to devil horns. In Halford's relaxed and honest tone, the book mixes serious and in-depth pieces with whimsical reflections on lessons learned during his fifty years of a life in music. Biblical is a handed-down-from-on-high holy tome that transports fans behind the scenes and back into their record collections, to the almighty ways of rock.

Music bios are hit and miss for me. This was a total hit. Not really a biography, more anecdotes and reflections on life in music, specifically heavy metal, and as a gay man who was in the closet for so much of it. I laughed a lot, he has a great English wit and is very much not in the closet now! It was a wonderful time being stuck into this one.
