PHIL CAMPBELL and ROB HALFORD team up on new song 'Straight Up': Stream

28 October 2019

MOTORHEAD guitarist Phil Campbell just released his first solo album, Old Lions Still Roar. The record is packed with all-star collaborations, including “Straight Up”, which features the Metal God himself, Rob Halford of JUDAS PRIEST.

“Straight Up” is a spot-on title, as the no-frills track sits cozily in Campbell’s wheelhouse of driving, riff-centric hard rock. Halford’s melodic vocals convey the attitude behind the lyrics, with just enough of the snarling swagger he brings to JUDAS PRIEST’s music. It’s a comfy collaboration for the heavy metal legends, and they sound at home together on the same track.

“‘The Metal God’ Rob Halford has always been an artist I admire,” Campbell commented in a press release. “His distinctive vocals and stage presence have rocked millions of fans all over the world, so I count myself blessed to have written a rockin’ song together with him!”
