Really? A Judas Preist Christmas album
This is just as weird as the Metaliska album...Metallica songs in Ska format.

Halford 3 - Winter Songs available Oct. 26th
Rob Halford, the iconic lead singer of the pioneering heavy metal outfit Judas Priest, will be releasing his first ever holiday album on October 26th via his own Metal God Records. Titled Halford III - Winter Songs, the singer's first solo album in more than seven years will not only feature Christmas favorites like "Oh Holy Night" and "Come All Ye Faithful" - set to original arrangements - but will also contain several tracks written by Rob especially for the season. The first of these, "Get Into The Spirit", will debut on radio and at RobHalford.com on September 29.
Joining Rob on the album is his solo band, the appropriately named Halford, which features a virtual who's who of heavy metal musicians (six-string workhorses Roy Z. and Metal Mike Chlasciak on guitars, Mike Davis on bass, and Bobby Jarzombek behind the drum kit). Since Halford's last studio album, 2002's Crucible, Rob and the band have released a career-spanning retrospective (2007's Metal God Essentials, Vol. 1) and a live DVD (2008's Halford Live at Rock in Rio III).
