Friday, March 8: Halford, "Handing Out Bullets" [ENCORE]

The Today’s Metal Tune tumblr posted its first song March 5, 2014.  Amazingly, 10 YEARS LATER we are still here and going strong.  A huge THANK YOU to everyone that has followed, liked, reblogged and commented over the past 10 years, this tumblr has been a passion project that took on a life of its own and far exceeded humble expectations, and that is all because so many have listened and gotten in on the fun.  To celebrate the past decade, we are revisiting some favorites from the early years.  Stay Metal everyone, there’s much more still to come…

“Handing Out Bullets” angrily made the case for Rob Halford’s continuing engagement with and relevance to heavy metal circa 2002.  The song was classically constructed and crafted, and not only felt of the moment and raged with the kind of energy that musicians 30 years younger would struggle to keep up with, but also roared with a timelessness that makes the tune continue to resonate over 20 years later.  Everything was just so perfectly massive and heavy, and so perfectly metal: the jabbing riffs were a nonstop gut-punch, Bobby Jarzombek’s double-bass barrage was unrelenting (and actually got faster as the song progressed), and the Metal God himself seethed in a way that demonstrated why he still deserved the moniker.  Furthermore (and more than a little surprisingly), “Handing Out Bullets” contained some of Rob’s best lyrics: railing over international conflicts that are sadly still relevant today, the song spoke harsh truths with an insight and maturity not entirely expected from a man known mainly for screaming about robots and the awesomeness of heavy metal.  But most of all, “Handing Out Bullets” just raged so spectacularly that it remains one of Halford’s- both the man and band- best songs, an evergreen headbanger that will never fail to sprain some necks.

Monday, September 30: Halford, "Wrath of God"

Rob Halford had a strange way of delivering his most interesting material when he wasn’t totally invested in the process: both of his sophomore outings with Fight and Halford (which both came after Judas Priest brushed off his attempts at reconciliation) were dynamic attempts to broaden his approach while still playing to his core strengths, and in the case of Crucible the Metal God raged with a venom and hunger that we hadn’t heard in at least 20 years.  Numbers like “Wrath of God” seethed with indignant venom and found Rob in full lockstep with his ravenous band.  It wasn’t just that the track was ultra-heavy and pummeling- there was a clear throughline and sense of purpose to the attack, reflecting the roughly two years Halford spent on the road tightening up as a band.  And that was key to the power and fury of “Wrath of God”: Halford was truly a band, and it showed in the writing, arrangements and especially performance.
