Judas Priest Release Monumental ‘War Pigs’ Featuring Ozzy Osbourne for Charity
Heavy metal legends Judas Priest have delivered a truly monumental take on Black Sabbath’s classic anthem, *War Pigs*. This “colossal” new version sees the band sharing vocals with none other than the late-great Ozzy Osbourne, adding a historic layer to the already iconic track. Fans are calling it a dream collaboration, uniting two of metal’s most influential forces in a powerful, unforgettable rendition.
The track, officially titled *War Pigs (Charity Version)*, is more than just a musical celebration. Judas Priest have confirmed that all proceeds from streaming, downloads, and physical sales of the release will be donated to The Glenn Tipton Parkinson’s Foundation and Cure Parkinson’s. The move continues the band’s long-standing commitment to charitable causes, particularly supporting the fight against Parkinson’s disease, a condition that has personally affected the band’s guitarist Glenn Tipton.
Musically, this version of *War Pigs* elevates the original’s dark, anti-war energy while amplifying its heavy metal intensity. Rob Halford’s iconic vocals intertwine seamlessly with Ozzy’s hauntingly distinct voice, creating a dialogue between two generations of metal royalty. Fans can expect soaring guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and the kind of raw energy that has defined Judas Priest’s career for decades.
The release has generated immediate excitement across social media, with fans praising the collaboration as “epic,” “historic,” and “an absolute metal masterclass.” Beyond the music, it’s a poignant reminder of the power of metal to unite people for a cause, blending artistry with philanthropy in a way few bands can match.
*War Pigs (Charity Version)* is now available on all major streaming platforms and in physical formats, offering fans the chance to experience metal history while contributing to a meaningful cause.
