ROB HALFORD (JUDAS PRIEST): COMPLIMENTS CYNIC ON COMING OUT

ROB HALFORD, vocalist of British heavy metal legends JUDAS PRIEST has complimented members of Florida technical/progressive metal warriors (PAUL MASVIDAL (guitar/vocals) and (drums) SEAN REINERT) CYNIC for recently coming out as gay as HALFORD came out a few years ago..







ROB HALFORD (JUDAS PRIEST) stated in a TERRORIZER interview: "What a great fucking great thing to do. It's all chipping away, there's homophobia in metal, there's homophobia in all kinds of music. For the most part metal heads accept each other because we're given a lot of stick, people don't like us, they don't like our music, they don't like the way we look. So for these two guys to make a statement, that is absolutely brilliant."

CYNIC unleashed  "Kindly Bent to Free Us", 2/14/2014 via SEASON OF MIST.

JUDAS PRIEST are set to release "Redeemer Of Souls", due to be unleashed 7/14 and 15, 2014 via SONY RECORDS.

FROM CYNIC:
 “I told someone, ‘Have you read about this? These guys in Cynic?’ He said, ‘Oh, that’s cool.’ I said, ‘I am the only gay in the village! I ain’t having this!’” he laughs heartily, doing his best Daffyd Thomas impersonation.http://www.terrorizer.com/news/rob-halford-gay-village/
