URobert John Arthur Halford (igama eliphelele losaziwayo) wazalwa ngo-August 25, 1951 eNgilandi. Abazali besithombe esizayo sezigidi babengaxhumene nokudala. Inhloko yomndeni yayisebenza njengomenzi wensimbi, futhi unina wayengumama wekhaya ovamile. Kamuva, lona wesifazane wathola umsebenzi enkulisa. URob wakhulela emndenini omkhulu.

Insizwa ethile yaqala ukuba nesithakazelo emculweni lapho isemusha. Wabe esecula ekwayeni yesikole futhi akazange asole ukuthi ukuzilibazisa okuvamile kwakuzokhula ngokushesha kube uthando lwempilo yakhe. Lapho eneminyaka engu-15, u-Rob waqala ukuba yingxenye yeqembu le-rock lendawo.
UThakk (iqembu uRob alijoyine) wayaziwa yiqembu elincane labantu. Umholi weqembu wayenguthisha wesikole. Abaculi abazange benze izingoma zabo, kodwa bahlanganisa izingoma ezidumile zamabhendi akhona. Khona-ke uRob wayengakaphuphi ngomsebenzi wochwepheshe njengomculi. Ngemva kokuphothula esikoleni esiphakeme, wayengazi ukuthi yini okufanele ayenze ngokulandelayo nokuthi yimuphi umsebenzi okufanele awukhethe.

Indlela yokudala kaRob Halford
URob wazizwa enesithakazelo emculweni, kodwa ebusheni bakhe akakwazanga ukunquma isikhathi eside ukuthi yini ayefuna ukuyenza. Into lo mfana ayeyifuna ngokuqinisekile kwakuwukudlala esiteji.
“Ngemuva kokushiya indawo yeshashalazi, ngangididekile. Bengingazi kahle ukuthi ngizophishekela umculo noma ngizothuthukisa ithalente lami lokulingisa. Ngemva kokuhlushwa, ngakha iqembu elithi Lord Lucifer. Ngemva kwesikhashana, bafunda ngengqondo yami njengoHiroshima. Yilapho-ke ngaqala khona ukuthanda umculo we-rock. Uthando lwalolu hlobo lomculo luphindeke kabili emuva kokuba ngibe yingxenye yeJudas Priest,” kusho uRob Halford.
Ekuqaleni kwawo-1970, amalungu eqembu UJuda Umpristi Besifuna umculi omusha nomshayi wezigubhu. Laba bafana bebefuna ozovala isikhala sika-Alan Atkins. Ngalesi sikhathi, umculi we-bassist u-Ian Hill wayesebudlelwaneni obuqinile nentombazane ebukekayo okuthiwa u-Sue Halford. Uphakamise umfowabo uRobert endimeni yomculi.
Ngokushesha ukuhlolwa kukaHalford kwenzeka efulethini elincane. Abaculi bamangala ngamakhono akhe omculo, ngakho-ke bamvumela ukuba abambe iqhaza le-frontman eyinhloko. Umculi wabe esencoma uJohn Hinch njengomdlali wesigubhu. Umculi owethulwe wayefakwe ohlwini lweqembu likaRob Hiroshima. Ngemuva kokusungulwa kweqembu, kube nezivivinyo ezinzima.

- Umshini Wokubulala.
Ekuqaleni kwawo-1980, abaculi bakhipha elinye irekhodi. Iqoqo lalibizwa ngokuthi iBritish Steel. Izingoma ezazifakwe ku-albhamu zazimfushane ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Abaculi babheje ukuthi bazodlalwa emsakazweni. I-LP Point of Entry elandelayo ikhulise ukuthandwa kweqembu izikhathi eziningana. Waziswa hhayi kuphela "abalandeli", kodwa futhi nabagxeki bomculo.
Ama-albhamu aphumelele
I-disc ethi Screaming for Vengeance, eyethulwa ngo-1982, yazuza impumelelo enkulu eMelika. Ikakhulukazi, izakhamizi zase-United States ziphawule iculo elithi You've Got Another Thing Comin'. Kusele iminyaka embalwa ngaphambi kokukhishwa kweqoqo elidume kakhulu le-discography yeqembu.
Maphakathi nawo-1980, kwakhululwa i-Defenders of the Faith. Ngokombono wezohwebo, i-albhamu isiphenduke "phezulu" yangempela. Izingoma ezifakwe ku-LP zithathe isikhundla esiphambili kumashadi ahlonishwayo. Ukukhishwa kwe-albhamu kuhambisane nohambo olukhulu.

Ukuhamba komculi eqenjini
Kanye nebhendi, uHalford uqophe ama-albhamu afanelekile ayi-15. Lo mculi uthe ngeke agcine lapho. Cishe wonke umdlalo omude wawunengoma, kamuva eyathola isihloko sokungafi.
Lapho abaculi bevakashela umhlaba wonke besekela irekhodi le-Painkiller, komunye wemidlalo uRob wagibela esiteji ngehhashi lensimbi elinamandla le-Harley-Davidson. Indoda yayigqoke izinto zesikhumba ezinesibindi. Kwenzeke ingozi esiteji. Iqiniso wukuthi lo mculi, ngenxa yefu leqhwa elomile, akazange akubone ukuphakanyiswa kwe-drum kit wabe eseshayisa. Kwaphela imizuzu embalwa waquleka. Ngemva kwekhonsathi, umculi we-rocker ulaliswe esibhedlela.
Ngemuva kwalesi sigameko, isikhathi eside, uRob wanyamalala emehlweni abalandeli. Abaningi bakhulume ngokuthi ushiye iqembu. Ekuqaleni kwawo-1990, lo mculi wathi usezakhele eyakhe ingqondo.

Izintatheli zasakaza amahlebezi okuthi lo mculi ushiye iqembu le-Judas Priest ngenxa yokungenwa yi-HIV. I-rocker ayizange iphawule ngala mahlebezi, ibambe ngokuqinile leli tulo. Lokhu kwandise intshisekelo yangempela ku-Rob.

Ngemuva kokuthi lo mculi ehlulekile ukusayina iqembu elisha le-Fight ku-CBS, okwasayinwa nalo inkontileka neqembu likaJudas Priest, umemezele ngokusemthethweni ukuthi uyalishiya iqembu likaJudas Priest, athola kulo udumo nokuhlonishwa. Ngakho, awekho amahemuhemu mayelana nokutheleleka nge-HIV.
I-Fight project yaba yiqembu lokuqala elizimele. Ngaphezu kukaRob, iqembu lalihlanganisa:

Ukuhlanganiswa kokuqala kuyirekhodi lensimbi elinzima, kanti izingoma ze-albhamu yesibili zine-grunge "tinge". Ngemva kokukhululwa kwe-LP yokuqala, abaculi baphinde bethula i-Mutations EP.
Abalandeli bayibukele phansi imizamo yesithixo sabo. Womabili amarekhodi amukelwa ngumphakathi ngokungemnandi, okwalimaza imizwa kaRob kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umculi akazange azicabangele izinguquko izitayela zomculo. Umsebenzi wakhe awuhambisani nezisusa ze-grunge kanye nedwala elihlukile. URob umemezele ukuhlakazwa kweqembu.
"UNkulunkulu wensimbi" akazange ahlale ngaphandle komsebenzi. U-Halford kanye nomshayi wesigingci uJohn Lowry bakhe iphrojekthi entsha ebizwa nge-2wo. Iqembu lakhiqizwa uTrent Reznor. Imisebenzi ekhishwe ngaphansi kwaleli gama iqoshwe abaculi enkampanini ethi Nothing Records.

Wakwazi ukukuqaphela ngokugcwele lokhu ngemva kokudalwa kweqembu le-Halford. Iphrojekthi entsha ibihlanganisa uBobby Jarzombek, uPatrick Lachman, uMike Klasiak noRay Rindo.
Amathrekhi amasha nezinkontileka
Ngokushesha, ukwethulwa kwengoma ethi Silent Screams kwenzeka kuwebhusayithi esemthethweni yomculi. Ngemva kwalokho, iSanctuary yanikeza umculi ukuthi asayine inkontileka ngemibandela evumayo kakhulu. Ekuqaleni kwawo-2000, abaculi beqembu elisha bethula i-albhamu ethi Uvuko. I-LP yakhiqizwa nguRoy Z. Abagxeki bomculo nabalandeli bathole i-LP ngokufudumele kakhulu. Futhi baphawula ukuthi lona umsebenzi omuhle kakhulu kaHalford kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe wokudala.
Uhambo olude lwalandela ukwethulwa kwerekhodi. Njengengxenye yohambo, abaculi bavakashele amadolobha angaphezu kwekhulu. Uhambo lokuqala lomhlaba lweqembu lukhishwe ku-albhamu ebukhoma ethi Live Insurrection.
Ngemva kohambo olukhulu, abaculi baqala ukusebenza ngabodwana. Nokho, lokhu akuzange kubavimbele ekulungiseleleni i-albhamu yesibili yeqembu elithi, Crucible, eyakhululwa ngo-2002.

URob uhlele ukuqopha i-albhamu yesithathu ngezindleko zakhe. Abalandeli bebebheke ngabomvu ukukhululwa kwe-LP. Nokho, ngo-2003, uRob wamemezela ukubuyela kwakhe eqenjini likaJudas Priest.
