Hårdrock & AOR

För första gången på över 50 år har den ursprungliga Alice Cooper Group återförenats för att släppa ett helt nytt studioalbum, "The Revenge of Alice Cooper". Detta efterlängtade album är tänkt som efterföljaren till de ikoniska skivorna "School's Out", "Billion Dollar Babies", "Love It to Death" och "Killer".<br/><br/>"The Revenge of Alice Cooper" är en berg- och dalbana rakt in i vintage-skräck och klassisk 70-talschockrock, som fångar ljudet, energin och glimten i ögat som gjorde det ursprungliga Alice <br/>Cooper-bandet legendariskt. Till och med Glen Buxton, bandets ursprunglige gitarrist som gick bort 1997, får vara med postumt. I "What Happened To You" har ett av hans tidigare outgivna gitarrpartier passats in och sömlöst blandas det förflutna med nutiden.

"There's a line in 'Ordinary Man' where I sing, 'I don't want to die an ordinary man,' which I don't think I will," säger Ozzy och skrattar. "Ordinary Man" är första albumsläppet på nära tio år.<br/><br/>Ozzy om inspelningen av albumet:<br/>"It was a lot of fun to do though it's a lot different from my other albums,". "We recorded it quickly, which I haven't done since the first Black Sabbath album. This made it a different process, which I actually enjoyed."<br/><br/>Albumet är inspelat i Los Angeles med albumets producent Andrew Watts på gitarr, Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses) på bas och Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) på trummor. Förutom nämnda musiker gästas albumet också av Ozzys vänner Elton John, Post Malone och Tom Morello.<br/><br/>"It all just came together," berättar Ozzy om gästerna på albumet. "Slash is a dear friend of mine, as is Elton. When I was writing 'Ordinary Man,' it reminded me of an old Elton song and I said to Sharon, 'I wonder if he would sing on it?' We asked and lo and behold, he agreed and sings and play piano on the song."

Osbourne Ozzy: Bark at the moon 1983 (Rem) [CD]

Ozzy Osbourne has had a hit song in every decade since the 70s, and since 1971 has been a constant headliner in the world's arena's. Time and time again he proves to be one of the consistent rock powerhouses of music. He now returns with album Patient Number 9.<br/><br/>Patient Number 9 is Ozzy's 13th studio album, and is produced by Andrew Watt, who helmed 2020's Ordinary Man. With over an hour of heavy glam rock it is Ozzy's most legendary album to date.<br/><br/>The title track Patient Number 9 features guitar work by fellow rock legend Jeff Beck, and in addition to Beck boasts an all-star cast of musicians that includes Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith on drums, Metallica's Robert Trujillo on bass, Zakk Wylde on guitars and keyboards, and producer Andrew Watt on backing vocals, guitars, and keyboards. In addition to the above musicians, the album Patient Number 9 includes guest lead guitarists Eric Clapton, Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, Queens of The Stone Age's Josh Homme, and Pearl Jam's Mike McCready, as well as session work from Guns N' Roses' Duff McKagan, Jane's Addiction's Chris Chaney, and the last recording of late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.

Ozzy's sjätte platta "No more tears" tillhör de starkaste albumen med denne legend. På fyra av spåren finner vi ett samarbete med Lemmy från Motörhead och starke gitarristen Zakk Wylde briljerar. Klockrena metalrökare och den vackra balladen "Mama, I'm coming home", som han fick en hit med.

Solodebuten "Blizzard of Ozz" från 1981 innebar inte bara en comeback för Ozzy sedan han lämnat Black Sabbath utan det var också startskottet för det fantastiska men dessvärre korta<br/>samarbetet med gitarristen Randy Rhoads. Albumet är en modern klassiker med låtar som "Crazy Train", "Suicide Solution" och "Mr. Crowley". Denna ny-mastrade version innehåller dessutom tre exklusiva bonusspår.

Through this album, Sabaton have immortalised historical legends whose actions continue to shape the world today, such as Joan of Arc, Napoleon, Julius Caesar and the Japanese sword master, Miyamoto Musashi. For the first time in the band's history, all current members have contributed to the songwriting and played a decisive role in shaping the album's music and concept.<br/><br/>Reflecting the album's concept, the band is offering a variety of uniquely designed physical editions:<br/>"Music collectors will be happy to hear that you are now able to pre-order our Legends album which comes out on October 17 in all formats imaginable." - Joakim Brodén<br/>"We're all about telling stories through our songs, so we thought, why not do the same with our vinyls? We took the idea from the community and tweaked it ourselves!" - Pär Sundström
