Context paragraphs:
Halford (band): Halford is an American heavy metal band formed in 1999 by British singer Rob Halford, who is best known as the lead vocalist for Judas Priest.

Metal Health: Metal Health is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Quiet Riot.  It was released on March 11, 1983, bolstered by the No. 5 hit "Cum On Feel the Noize" and the No. 31 hit "Metal Health".  "Metal Health" is notable for being the first heavy metal album to reach the top spot on the "Billboard" 200, replacing the Police's "Synchronicity" at number one in November 1983.  The album went on to sell more than six million copies and is considered a classic among heavy metal fans.  Some critics, such as AllMusic, describe it as a one-hit wonder, owing to Quiet Riot's relative lack of critical and commercial success with following albums (and subsequent disintegration) towards the end of the 1980s.  The title track was ranked No. 35 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs.

March of the Saint: March of the Saint is the first album by American heavy metal band Armored Saint.  It was released in 1984 on Chrysalis Records and recorded with producer Michael James Jackson who previously worked for Kiss.  The debut album yielded a minor MTV hit with "Can U Deliver", but Joey Vera and John Bush later recalled the album's recording as a frustrating and disappointing experience, explaining that Jackson's approach was much more commercial than the heavy metal sound the band had wanted.  As Vera recalled in 2006: "At the end of the record we were very unhappy with the production, the mix, the way we worked and who we worked with.  And the producer and our manager let us spend over ($)300,000 on our first record.  To this day we are still in debt for that one."

Kurdt Vanderhoof: Kurdt Vanderhoof (born June 28, 1961) is an American guitarist, best known as the lead guitarist and founding member of the American heavy metal band Metal Church.  As early as 1976, in Aberdeen, Vanderhoof was ardently networking with local musicians and had formed a band called Tyr, which included Kirk Arrington on drums and Vanderhoof on rhythm guitar.  In 1978 Vanderhoof joined Seattle hardcore punk band The Lewd adopting the stage name "Blobbo" on bass guitar, switching instruments to guitar the following year.  The Lewd relocated from Seattle to San Francisco in 1980.  Following Vanderhoof's departure from The Lewd he formed Metal Church, named after a nickname given to his San Francisco apartment.  Vanderhoof moved back to his hometown, Aberdeen, Washington, with a vinyl single of Trash Can Baby as proof of his interlude with the Lewd.  In the summer of 1982, he formed a heavy metal cover band named Shrapnel.  It consisted of Tom Weber on drums, Duke Erickson on bass (both from Hoquiam), Mike Murphey ("muff", from Montesano) and a guitar player Vanderhoof had jammed with in high school(Aberdeen).  Shrapnel played four events to warm up, including a frat party at Pacific Lutheran University, after which the other guitar player quit, having had a religious experience, unwilling to cover The Number of The Beast by Iron Maiden.  His part was replaced by Craig Wells of Aberdeen, and Tom was eventually replaced by Kirk Arrington (also from Hoquiam) on drums.  When Mike Murphy left the band, they recruited David Wayne for vocal duties.  By 1983, Shrapnel had renamed itself to Vanderhoof's original band name, Metal Church.
