Former frontman of popular metal rock band Judas Priest, Rob Halford is the mastermind behind the hardcore rocker brand Metal God Apparel, which features tees embellished with all of the graphics one would come to expect from a metal band.
The Metal God Apparel is teeming with skulls, skeletons, Celtic crosses, creepy weird creatures and, oddly enough, comic book superheroes. The tees from Metal God Apparel also sport badass names such as Cerberus, Steel Wings and Metalhead.
