Thunderous riffing from Tony Iommi and mournful and painful vocals from Ossie Osbourne showcase a sound that grabs you by the throat and forgets to let go. Ossie is so good here when he cries 'My name is Lucifer, please take my hand' on N.I.B. you really believe he is the Devil and a chill shudders down your spine. |
I thought it was written 'Ozzy Osbourne' – was the spelling changed from 'Ossie' at some point, perhaps later in his career?
The weather is lovely in County Durham, but I will probably give that album a listen today anyway based on your superb write-up.
