This is the band Rob Halford of formed after leaving Judas Priest. In my opinion it was the best solo effort he embarked (haven't heard Halford yet). They released 3 albums before they disbanded, and Rob went on to form Two, and Halford. Rob has one of metal's defining voices.

Fight kick off where Halford left off with Judas Priest's 'Painkiller'. When I heard this discs at first I thought they sounded like Pantera, but this is clearly much more melodic. The hooks and riffs come like pearls on a thread. I've heard evil tongues say that there are only 3 different guitar chords on this one. Well, these chords work!
Killer tracks: Into The Pit, Immortal Sin, For All Eternity, Little Crazy

In spite of owning this album for quite a while, a review never showed up. But that is changed now. The problem was that I never knew what to write. Some days I really like this album. It's not as good as the first one, but still a good metal-platter. But other days, I hate it. It lacks any really great songs, and the sound is a bit too modern for my taste. So go figure!! I think my best tip would be to check this out for yourselves, and hope you listen to it on a good day!
Killer tracks: It all depends on my mood.
