OZZY RELEASES NEW SINGLE WITH SABBATH CO FOUNDER TONY IOMMI
Ozzy is back! Get ready for the new Ozzy Osbourne album which will be released on September 9th.
The album features a whole host of special guests including Zakk Wylde, the late Taylor Hawkins and Ozzy’s Black Sabbath co founder mate, Tony Iommi.
You can listen to the new single ‘Degradation Rules’ featuring Sabbath co founder Tony Iommi below:
On working with Tony Iommi, Ozzy says; “It was really great working with Tony. He’s the riff master. No one can touch him in that respect. I only wish we had these songs for Black Sabbath’s 13 album.”
Working with producer Andrew Watt for the second time, Ozzy welcomed a dynamic A-list supporting cast. The record boasts guitarists Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, and longstanding righthand man and six-string beast Zakk Wylde who plays on the majority of the tracks.
For the bulk of the album, Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers held down drums, while the late Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters made an appearance. Old friend and one-time Ozzy band member Robert Trujillo of Metallica plays bass on most of the album’s tracks, with Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses and Chris Chaney of Jane’s Addiction supplying bass on a few songs. For the first time ever, Black Sabbath co-founder, guitarist, and riff-lord Tony Iommi appears on an Ozzy solo album.
An exclusive version of Patient Number 9 with a limited-edition special McFarlane-designed comic book will be available for preorder; a limited-edition comic with foil cover is also available with a special deluxe box. Both can be pre-ordered here.
