Ozzy Osbourne Working On A New Album; Promises Upcoming Release Is ‘Really Special’

Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne is said to be working on a new album, which got a lot metal heads excited for his upcoming work.

In a report by Blabbermouth, Osbourne claimed to be working on a "really special" release, as he goes back performing on his solo act.

Epic Records president Sylvia Rhone revealed that Osbourne is brewing up something different, while they held the first annual Epic Fest this weekend.

"It's going to be a really special album," Rhone said. "It's going to be amazing, it's something Ozzy has never done before that he's always wanted to do."

Meanwhile, according to a GMI Rock report last year, Ozzy Osbourne would be working on his "Momoirs Of A Madman" before releasing a new album, which would include compilations of his best work throughout the years.

"'Memoirs Of A Madman' was, because I've been not doing my solo stuff for quite awhile now, I've been touring with Black Sabbath, I just wanted to let everybody know I haven't stopped doing my solo stuff. It's like a bridge thing," he said. "So I'm gonna do one more Black Sabbath tour, one more album with Black Sabbath, and I'm in the process, as we go along, [of] collecting stuff that I'm writing. I've co-written about three songs so far for my own solo thing...It'll take about two or three years before I release solo stuff again, so 'Memoirs Of The Madman' is just to say to the fans that I haven't stopped, y'know?"

The reported new album of Ozzy Osbourne would be a follow up to his 2010 release "Scream," which he revealed in a previous interview that the next record would hit hard.

"On my next album, I can assure you it's going to be back to balls to the wall," he said. "I don't stick to a formula. I just try and experiment a lot. 'Scream' was more like an experimental album because I didn't have a band at the time. [Guitarist] Gus [G.] came along and the guys played on the album after I'd done a lot of the work myself and my producer, Kevin Churko, in my studio."
