Ozzy Osbourne and Judas Priest Announce Final Album as a Farewell Tribute to Their Legendary Heavy Metal Legacy: “One Last Groove” — Release Date Revealed
In a moment that marks the end of an era, two titans of heavy metal—Ozzy Osbourne and Judas Priest—have officially announced their final collaborative album, “One Last Groove.” Set to release on October 31, 2025, the record promises to be a thunderous farewell and a celebration of decades that defined the very soul of metal.
The announcement came just days after Ozzy’s emotional final performance in Birmingham. In a joint statement, Ozzy and Rob Halford described the album as “a love letter to the fans and a final roar from the beasts who helped build the genre from the ground up.” With both legends now in the twilight of their careers, One Last Groove is being hailed as not just a record, but a legacy-cementing event.
The album will feature ten new tracks, recorded in secret over the last year, blending the signature doom-laden riffs of Sabbath-era Ozzy with the soaring vocals and speed metal fire of Judas Priest. Special guest appearances include Tony Iommi, Zakk Wylde, and even a rumored contribution from Metallica’s James Hetfield.
Lead single “Forged in Fire” drops September 13, and insiders say it’s an instant classic—pure, unapologetic heavy metal.
Fans can expect the album to hit streaming platforms, vinyl, and a limited-edition collector’s box featuring handwritten lyrics, behind-the-scenes footage, and a tribute booklet celebrating their intertwined legacies.
As Ozzy puts it, “This is the last ride, mate. Let’s make it loud.”
“One Last Groove” drops October 31, 2025 — pre-orders open soon.
