Twofer Tuesday: New Ozzy Album – ‘Scream’ releases 6/22

Making of:

…Oz is as sharp as a dagger and at the top of his headbanging skills for “Scream.” His voice is clear, and he belts every song with conviction.

The opening tune, “Let It Die,” sets the bar. This is metal music that begs for arena play, where the sounds of heavy bass, cowbell wallops and guitar power chords can expand. Ozzy’s vocals are as good as they get as he mixes his controlled scream with funky swagger.

That sweat-and-danger attitude carries into “Let Me Hear You Scream,” which combines thrash metal with a tempo that would allow “Scream” dance-hall success.

This is heavy, stairway-to-hell music that demands more volume than your ears should hear…
