Ozzy talks about his new album "Black Rain"
Ozzy
Osbourne is back with a solo album on May 22. It's called "Black Rain"
and you can hear samples of tracks from it on Ozzy's
official site.
If you pre-order it, you get 2 free tickets to Ozzfest while supplies last.
Ozzy, who recorded the album with his touring band consisting of Zakk Wylde (guitar), Mike Bordin (drums) and Blasko (bass), says this is the true follow-up to "No More Tears." Here are a few quotes from Ozzy about the album:
"It’s a well-put together album. I think it’s evident that it hasn’t been just slapped out and put down. I took my time on the album and Zakk plays some amazing stuff as always."
"I just thought there’s so much fucking bad news, the only way I can release it is to put it in a song," he says.
On the other hand, one new track, “Civilize The Universe,” offers a sense of hope, as Ozzy sings: “I’m alive/Watching better turn to worse/One more time/Try to civilize the universe.”
Ozzy will support the album with a world tour beginning in Moscow on May 27 which continues through July 6. Then starting July 12 in Seattle , he’ll headline the 12th annual Ozzfest festival. Tickets are free this year, as previously announced.
Ozzy is being honored in May on VH-1’s “Rock Honors” show, where he will perform three songs, including a track from Black Rain. Premiering on Thursday, May 24 at 9:00 PM ET/PT, “VH1 Rock Honors,” will be taped at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas on Saturday, May 12.

Love Ozzy's new song. Heard it April 2007 for first time but did not hear name of it. I had never been a fan until I heard this song. Now I am intrigued.
