April 19, 2007, 17 years ago
As previously reported, OZZY OSBOURNE returns May 22nd with Black Rain, his first album of new studio material in six years. To view the cover art click the photo on the left. 'I Don't Wanna Stop' is set as the first single - and is currently streaming at BraveTunes (left-hand side of the page). Fans can log onto Ozzy.com to hear samples of the following tracks from the album: 'I Don't Wanna Stop', 'Not Going Away', 'Thank God For The Almighty Dollar', 'Civilize The Universe', 'Black Rain', 'Countdown's Begun' and 'Trap Door'.
Ozzy co-produced the album with Kevin Churko and recorded it with his touring band: Zakk Wylde (guitar), Mike Bordin (drums) and Blasko (bass).
Ozzy feels Black Rain is the true follow-up to his classic No More Tears, the 1991 album that also challenged the expectations of what an Ozzy Osbourne album should sound like.
Explains Ozzy, "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 [Wylde] plays some amazing stuff as always."
Ozzy will support Black Rain with a world tour beginning in Moscow on May 27th which continues through July 6th. Then starting July 12th in Seattle, he'll headline the 12th annual OZZFest tour throughout America (www.ozzfest.com).
