Judas Priest Set to Release New Compilation Album, ‘The Chosen Few’

Judas Priest is set to release a new compilation album titled 'The Chosen Few,' featuring hard rock and metal greats like Lars Ulrich, Ozzy Osbourne and Slipknot's Corey Taylor.

Each artist involved in the 17-track project was asked to pick their favorite Judas Priest song, record it and include an intro about why or how they made that choice.

"This is a collection of songs chosen by our friends and respected peers," Priest frontman Rob Halford tells Rolling Stone. "So we hope all the metal maniacs out there will rock out to the tunes enjoyed by metal legends."

Judas Priest's farewell Epitaph world tour kicks off October 12 in San Antonio, Texas.
