Buttressed by the twin-guitar attack of Patrick Lachman and Mike Chlasciak, Halford often flirts with the same kind of high-flying riffing provided by Priest's double-axe tandem Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing, as on cuts like the runaway \"Betrayal\" and the equally intense Wrath Of God.\"\u003cbr\u003eFans not inclined to partake in the rap-rock hybrids of nouveau metal or the nostalgic posturing of once vital metal acts will also feast on cuts like the the Middle Eastern-flavored \"Hearts Of Darkness\" and the anthemic \"One Will.\" Even on slower numbers, the Halford is in fine fettle, snaking his way through \"Crystal,\" a mid-tempo cautionary tale of crystal meth addiction and the epic \"Sun\" with its goth-like atmosphere and exotic-sounding guitar runs. With CRUCIBLE, Rob Halford continues mining the vein of classic metal without sounding like a hapless retread.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52622455570719,"sku":"879337000713","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/1053491d68c5f7d6685fef1ebd911abc.jpg?v=1781776713","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/crucible-4","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
