William Shatner recently announced a new heavy metal album that will see the 95-year-old actor collaborate with a handpicked group of 35 metal icons. The record will reportedly include original material alongside covers of songs by Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and more.
Now, the “Star Trek” star has revealed that he’s teamed up with Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford for the album, with the two recording a new rendition of the band’s classic hit “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’.”
“The collaboration pairs Shatner’s unmistakable spoken-word intensity with Halford’s soaring, powerhouse vocals, creating a bold and unexpected take on one of heavy metal’s most enduring tracks,” a press release reads.
Speaking about the collaboration, Shatner said: “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.”
Halford added: “‘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!’”
As of writing, the still-untitled album has yet to receive a release date.
