Resurrection is the debut album by the American heavy metal band Halford, released in 2000. It was recorded over the span of almost two years, from August 1998 to June 2000. The album marks the return of Rob Halford's heavy metal roots after several years of musical experimentation and after publicly confirming his homosexuality. It features the song "The One You Love to Hate", a duet with metal band Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson. "Silent Screams" is a re-recorded song that was originally demoed by Halford's previous band 2wo.

In 2006, Resurrection was remastered and re-released with an expanded (adding outtakes from the original sessions[1]) track list on iTunes, and later on CD in 2009.
