Are you going to buy the new William Shatner heavy metal album, /mu/? https://blabbermouth.net/news/william-shatner-announces-new-all-star-metal-album-featuring-35-hand-picked-metal-icons>William Shatner is turning the volume up to pain-threshold max.. The legendary actor, author, and cultural icon today announces his latest album — a heavy metal extravaganza powered a veritable army of metal stars, each one personally selected and hand-picked by Shatner to help deliver a project that's equal parts thunder, theater, and fearless experimentation.>Shatner has long been attracted to music that challenges boundaries and amplifies storytelling. Over the years, his recordings have attracted a striking range of collaborators across heavy music and beyond — artists chosen for their distinct voices, fearlessness, and credibility.>"Metal has always been a place where imagination gets loud," Shatner said. "This album is a gathering of forces — each artist bringing their fire, their precision, their chaos. I chose them because they have something to say, and because metal demands honesty.">Built around massive guitars, cinematic arrangements, and Shatner's signature vocal intensity, the record plays like a high-voltage film: sharp turns, dark humor, raw emotion, and moments of unexpected beauty. The result is an event album — designed not as a novelty, but as a statement, uniting a legion of metal's most respected musicians under one uniquely singular vision.

>>129473689Apparently it's a death metal project >"When NUCLEAR MESSIAH came to life, something clicked," Shatner said. "It wasn't just a track — it was a doorway. It made me want to go all the way in, bring in the best metal players I could find, and create something fearless."
>>129473573He always has a good song or two, so I guess. I mean I'd get stream it or something. Not buy it.
>The forthcoming album will feature covers of Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden, alongside new original material written with his team. "I've spent a lifetime exploring in both reality and fiction," Shatner said. "Now I am stepping out into the unknown once again with my new project in heavy metal… The whole project is destined for this year. I hope you will join me in the exploration."Holy shit this is going to either be awesome or horrendus(ly awesome)
We'll see how it stacks up against Christopher Lee's tracks.
