According to RollingStone.com, Judas Priest will release a new compilation album, "The Chosen Few", on October 11th via Legacy/Sony. The collection contains songs that were selected by some of the biggest names of the hard rock and heavy metal world, including Gene Simmons, Ozzy Osbourne, Slash, James Hetfield, Alice Cooper and Lemmy.
"This is a collection of songs chosen by our friends and respected peers,"Priest frontman Rob Halford tells RollingStone.com. "So we hope all the metal maniacs out there will rock out to the tunes enjoyed by metal legends."
"The Chosen Few" will contain explanations from the artists about each of their selections, including Taylor making the argument that Priest early MTV anthem "You've Got Another Thing Coming" established the group as "the blueprint for the ultimate heavy metal band."
