Back in 1988, Judas Priest teamed up with the English songwriting trio S/A/W featuring Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman, known for their work with pop stars including Rick Astley and Kylie Minogue. They collaborated on a cover of The Stylistics' "You Are Everything", which has surfaced onYouTube and can be heard below.

The collaboration reportedly came from a four day studio session in Paris, France that yielded three songs in total: "You Are Everything", and two S/A/W originals, "I Will Return" and "Runaround".

Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford discussed the tracks with Tele 5 Hard 'N' Heavy back in 1988 and offered the following:

"They're hidden away in a vault in our office in London, and some day, at some point, people will hear them — it's just getting the timing right. They're three very powerful songs, you know, so maybe you'll hear them in 1990 or the year 2000, I don't know. We would like people to hear them, because I think people are very curious about what's happening and we had a fantastic time with them..."

Due to the overwhelming success of Judas Priest's 17th studio effort overall, Redeemer Of Souls (which became the highest-charting album of their career when it debuted on the Billboard 200 charts at #6), the band has announced a fall tour, which will hit the US and Canada, from October 16th through November 12th. Supporting Priest on the US dates and the Halifax engagement will be one of modern metal's top bands, Mastodon.

Comprised of Rob Halford (vocals), Glenn Tipton (guitar), Richie Faulkner (guitar), Ian Hill (bass), and Scott Travis (drums), Judas Priest is responsible for some of heavy metal's all-time classic anthems ("Living After Midnight”, "Breaking The Law”, "You've Got Another Thing Coming”, etc.) and albums (British Steel, Screaming For Vengeance, Painkiller, etc.).

Ever since the release of Redeemer Of Souls, Judas Priest has been taking their music all over the world. And they are not finished yet, with the announcement of these new dates!
