WILLIAM SHATNER 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. "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." Additional album details - including title, tracklisting, release date, lead single, and the full roster of featured artists - will be revealed soon.
