Rob Halford wants to make a black metal album with Ihsahn and Nergal
Emperor frontman spoke in an interview with Finland's Kaaos TV Rob Halford , vocalist of Judas Priest .
“I actually talked to Rob about this project…He approached me…this was a long time ago,” said Ihsahn. “I think I met him in 2001 or something like that. But, of course, as he’s said in many interviews as well, his situation in Judas Priest, and my schedule with both bands [Emperor and the solo project], is one of those things, but at some point this would be great. When the metal god calls, it’s not something you want to miss.”.
He continued: “Then [Rob] met Nergal from Behemoth as well, and he [discussed a possible collaboration with him too]… Because he [Rob] is a big fan of black metal, so at some point, he wants to do something. So, if time allows and fate makes it happen, me, Nergal and Rob would do something together – Nergal is someone I have great respect for – I think it would be amazing.”
Halford has been talking for a long time about wanting to work on a black metal album.
Ihsahn released his seventh solo album, Ámr , on May 4th via Candlelight/Spinefarm.
