Judas Priest singer Rob Halford said he was hoping to collaborate with Ghost frontman Tobias Forge, among others, as he continued to experiment with his voice.

He also noted that, after having fronted bands since the late ‘60s, he’s finally reached a point where he feels confident with his abilities. “My overall vocal performance is finally something I can listen to now without self-criticism,” Halford told the Phoenix New Times in a new interview.

“It doesn’t matter how many records you’ve made, there’s always a new experience you can get with a new producer. We’ve always made that perfectly clear; we know the value of recording with an outside producer. On [Priest’s latest album] Firepower, I was encouraged, coached and captured.” MORE
