Ozzy reveals where he sleeps in new song "Under the Graveyard"
The Prince of Darkness himself Ozzy Osbourne is back with his first single in 10 years! “Under the Graveyard” was quickly teased yesterday and got people excited to hear more! Well today, the full song has finally been released, and now is acting as a teaser for Ozzy’s new album “Batman’s scared of me”. Wait, wrong one, it’s called Ordinary Man, and is due out early 2020 via Epic Records. Listen to the full song here.
"This album was a gift from my higher power — it is proof to me that you should never give up," Ozzy says. The new album was recorded in the city of angels, and features Andrew Watt on guitars (he also produced the album), Guns N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan on bass, and RHCP’s Chad Smith 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?!’” (Don’t worry Ozzy, Post’s fans didn’t know who you were either.) He continued: “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 and Chad 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.“
There’s still no set release date for Ordinary Man, however it looks like they’re eyeballing for an early 2020 release. It’s also unclear, based on recent health concerns that anything off this album will be performed live. We’ll have to wait and see what happens. Stay tuned for more on this in the coming weeks.
