| Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter Ozzy Osbourne today (November 8th) has released Under The Graveyard, his first new solo music in almost 10 years. A massive ballad that builds into a searing rocker, it’s the first single from Ozzy’s forthcoming album, Ordinary Man, due out on Epic Records in early 2020. Listen to it below. |
| “This album was a gift from my higher power–it is proof to me that you should never give up,” says Ozzy. |
| Recorded in Los Angeles, the album features producer Andrew Watt on guitars, Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses) on bass and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) on drums. |
| “It all started when [his daughter] Kelly comes in and says ‘do you want to work on a Post Malone song?'” Ozzy explains. “My first thing was ‘who the fuck is Post Malone?!’ I went to Andrew’s [Watt] house and he said we will work really quick. After we finished that song, he said ‘would you be interested in starting an album.’ I said ‘that would be fucking great, but now I am thinking I don’t want to be working in a basement studio for six months! And in just a short time, we had the album done. Duff [McKagan] and Chad [Smith] came in and we would go in and jam during the day and I would go work out the songs in the evenings. I previously had said to Sharon I should be doing an album, but in the back of my mind I was going ‘I haven’t got the fucking strength…’ but Andrew pulled it out of me. I really hope people listen to it and enjoy it, because I put my heart and soul into this album.” |
| Stay tuned for additional details on Ordinary Man in the coming weeks. |

Something’s missing, oh I know, it’s the Wylde man! But you know what? It’s still a good song, and I can really relate to Ozzy’s emotions in this song.
Not bad in my opinion, I agree with you Doug I needs some Zakk Wylde.
Ozzy still gets me in the feels, as they say today. Guy is great. What happened to Zakk being on his next album, or did I miss an announcement saying he wouldn’t be on this project? Miss his sound. Still, a good song. \MM/
I have to say pretty solid song -is it me or does ozzy’s voice sound higher than normal ?? Studio manipulation? Either way i am impressed he didn’t Phone it in –
I noticed the same thing. Not sure if it’s an effect or a result of what room he recorded it in. Sounds hollow and distant.
