Just listen to what his voice can do on this song, and remember, he isn't screaming. His voice can just do this.

Well this is an impressive display, but can you say that it's a fair representation of how Halford consistently sounds? What I have heard of Halford is more the vocal style he adopts on songs like 'Metal Gods', where his voice sounds flat, weak and shallow. I am restricted in my ability to discuss here due to not listening to a consistent amount of Priest, and I'd never heard 'Painkiller' before, but it seems his singing style is not always as consistent as it appears on this track.
