I wonder why this great song was never used as a bonus track on the first Fight album? It's only on that piece of crap 'Buffy' movie soundtrack.

Great song!! I refuse to buy the "Buffy" movie soundtrack for the sake of this one song though. I was hoping it would turn up on Halford's METAL GOD ESSENTIALS VOL. I compilation a couple of years back, but no dice. There is a live version of it on his LIVE INSURRECTION 2-CD so that'll have to do for me for now.

P.S. Didja know Rob's backing band on this track was Pantera?

Yeah, the video clip confirmed it. Love the guitar tone!

I love this song and have to say selfishly I am glad he hasn't released it!

I have seen this promo single I have go for $100 on ebay.

I didn't want the soundtrack either so when I saw the promo single years ago I added to the collection Smile

Who covered this song? I never heard this Halford/Pantera version, but I know I've heard this song. I can hear their version in my head. It's someone that has a Halford-like singing voice.

Anyone?

You got me, boss... I am unaware of any covers of this song... Rob Halford (Light comes out of Black) Icon_scratch

By the way, I love how whoever YouTubed this song credits it as "Pantera featuring Rob Halford" ... when it was released on the Buffy soundtrack it was listed as merely "Rob Halford," and the Pantera guys' involvement was something of a secret at the time...

I'm not positive just yet, but I want to say that "super-group" Killing Machine covered this song. I'm hearing James Riviera's voice in my head.

Interesting, will have to investigate that. I only have one Killing Machine CD (METALMORPHOSIS) and that tune isn't on it. Unless it was a super duper limited bonus track or somethin'.

*EDIT* METALMORPHOSIS has a track on it called "Scarred Beyond the Black" which has a somewhat similar vibe to the Halford song... you sure that's not the song you're thinking of?

Wow, cool stuff. Was this specifically recorded for the soundtrack?

Yup. It was the first thing Rob did as a "solo" artist after he left Priest.

That be the one. Different songs, but very similiar chorus. Almost too close in fact.

That's on the original BtVS movie soundtrack? Okay, despite the original movie paling miserably in comparison w/ the awesome TV show, I am a sucker for all things Buffy, so I might have to check that out... Smile

Yup, the original '92 movie soundtrack. The rest of the track listing includes Ozzy (a non-album track called "Party With The Animals" and The Cult ("Zap City"), along with C&C Music Factory (Yuk!), Susanna Hoffs of the Bangles, amongst others...

Looks like you can get it pretty cheap @ Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Buffy-Vampire-Slayer-Original-Soundtrack/dp/B0000028QL

And I agree, the "Buffy" TV series was far, FAR superior to the movie. The only thing the movie had going for it was Kristy Swanson as Buffy, cuz she was pretty damn hot at that time. Laughing

Okay, it's also got Matthew Sweet, and Toad the Wet Sprocket? Sold!

Love the fact that it also has The Divinyls - there's a Divinyls reference in the 2nd season of the show, wonder if that's a coincidence...
