Crucible is the second studio album by the heavy metal band Halford released in 2002. A remixed and remastered edition was released in 2010. In contrast with the retrospective approach of the previous Halford album, Resurrection , Crucible was an intentional effort to depart from the traditional metal themes. [2] [3] The album has been described as "harder, darker, and more moody than Resurrection". [3]
