William Shatner, a renowned actor, cultural icon, and recording artist, is once again demonstrating that creativity is not limited by age, as per Blabbermouth. Shatner is still working on his eagerly awaited heavy metal project at the age of 95, and he has revealed a significant partnership that will thrill fans everywhere. Rob Halford, the legendary leader of Judas Priest, has been officially enlisted by Shatner to collaborate with him on a reworked rendition of the epic metal hit “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’“. Halford’s soaring, powerful vocals and Shatner‘s distinctive spoken-word intensity combine to create a daring and unusual interpretation on one of heavy metal’s most timeless songs.
I’ve always been drawn to the energy and storytelling of heavy metal, working with Rob on this track brings that intensity to life in a way that feels both timeless and entirely new. -William Shatner
One life I’m gonna live it up!’ William Shatner is boldly doing that more than ever, and I am honored to reinforce this message with him — ‘taking flight I said I’ll never get enough!’ – Rob Halford
Shatner‘s long-standing study of music across genres, pushing boundaries and defying expectations, will continue with the new album, which is now under development. This most recent effort, which features well-known collaborators and daring renditions of famous songs, truly embraces the heavy metal genre.
I’m honored to be a part of another chapter in William Shatner’s musical journey, and celebrating as he goes louder, harder and heavier than ever. – Brian Perera, founder of Cleopatra Records
As part of the impending Nuclear Messiah project by former Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland, Shatner has in fact already ventured into these waters. The all-star group’s next song and music video, “Prophet Of Fall-Out,” will be released before the whole “Black Flame” album is released at the end of April. There will soon be more information on William Shatner‘s record, including release dates and other guest appearances.
