As previously reported, a brand new HALFORD song, entitled 'Forgotten Generation', has been made available for streaming at MP3.com. The track, which was officially released on November 21 via iTunes, is the first new HALFORD song in more than four years. Rob Halford wrote the tune and another new cut, 'Drop Out', with the HALFORD band this year during downtime from working with JUDAS PRIEST on their upcoming album 'Nostradamus'. 'We just thought it would be nice to offer fans an earful of new HALFORD stuff and let everybody know we're still around,' he said, according to MTV.com. Both new tracks are available on 'Halford: Metal God Essentials - Volume 1', which came out November 28. The album contains 15 songs spanning Halford's solo career and will also be available exclusively through iTunes. Also on November 28, Halford released the entire HALFORD catalog ('Resurrection', 'Live Insurrection' and 'Crucible'), plus the FIGHT demo 'K5 the War of Words Demos'. 'We love iTunes,' Halford said. 'It's a tremendous format and they're really looking after the Metal God in a really great way.'
