Hi there all, Awhile back I heard Ozzy was working on another new album with Andrew Watts and band members from Metallica. Has anyone heard any new, news regarding the recording of the new album or anticipated release? Thank you all in advance, ~OzzyIsDio

Perhaps we could keep this thread going and when we hear new news regarding Ozzy's new album or release dates and such we can report them here?
Thanks for answering Claus, I like all of Ozzy's albums, love some more than others, but like them all and love Blizzard, Diary and Speak Of The Devil, the album responsible for getting me into Sabbath.
His career ended with Back On Earth from Ozzmosis for me. Great way to go out. Everything since then has been soulless tripe.
I love his most recent album, loved it from the start but it’s actually grown on me a bit more since… I jumped off the crazy train after Bark at the Moon but came back after the Sabbath reunion in 99. I did a vip ticket for one of their shows and have been back on board since. Picked up the vinyl box and worked backwards through it. A lot of gems sprinkled throughout those later albums. Bring on a new one!
I was really disappointed with Ordinary Man. I never thought I'd say this but Ozzy really needs to get back with Zakk. Yes, Zakk Wylde really annoyed me with his constant use of pinch harmonics, but he really was a great songwriting partner for Ozzy IMO.
I worship everything up through No More Tears (or Live & Loud technically). I will admit that Ozzmosis has kinda grown on me a bit recently too. I have tried to check out most of his albums after that, but am always left feeling flat. Something is kinda missing and I don't know what it is.
I love No More Tears, my favorite after Bark At The Moon it’s fifth place, and the last really great Ozzy album then comes Down To Earth , Ozzmosis and Ultimate Sin and No Rest For The Wicked, Ordinary Man, Black Rain, Scream, with Blizzard being number one and Diary number two and Speak of The Devil number 3, I add SOTD, because this album has a special place in my heart for turning me onto Sabbath.
It's a singular member of Metallica, and that member is Robert Trujillo, who was Ozzy's bass player on the Down to Earth album. Trujillo's great, but it's not exactly breaking new ground. If he could recruit all of Metallica and create Lulu II, well... that would be something.
Ozzy had two great guitarists in his band… Randy Rhoads and Jake E. Lee. Zakk is only an average shredder! Yes, he recorded one or two great riffs on No More Tears, but what else?
Claus I fully agree with this though I like Zakk, but I like Jake E. Lee better and Randy Rhoads was number 1.
