HALFORD's video for the song "Forgotten Generation" has been posted online at YouTube.com. The track, which was officially released on November 21, 2006 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 last 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 is also 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".

"Forgotten Generation" deals with alienation, and Halford told Launch that he wrote the lyrics to speak to and for everyone. "To me, it means the assertation of every individual to kind of have a voice that's valuable and needs to be heard," he said. "So I'm talking about hypocrisy, I'm talking about, you know, speaking up and letting your feelings be felt and heard, and not being passed by, and that's just a streak that I carry with me, I'm the eternal optimist, in that respect."
