12"

The twelfth full-length studio album by legendary Heavy Metal singer and his band.
The album marks the first time that Osbourne collaborated with Watt and Bell. It is also his first album overall since he reunited with Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler for their final album, "13" (2013), with him as lead singer. It also marks the longest gap between two albums from Osbourne to date, spanning almost ten years since "Scream".
The album is charged with an unexpected crackle of life that hasn't graced an Ozzy album in a long time. It recalls the raw power of Black Sabbath, but also channels "Black Album"-era Metallica on the creeping, oozy "Today Is the End" and the unhinged Punk/Thrash on the Post Malone-assisted "It's a Raid". Despite a few weaker spots, "Ordinary Man" contains some of Ozzy's best solo work in years. The production is huge, but the energy is spontaneous, sounding like it was as fun to make as it is to listen to. 71 years old at the time "Ordinary Man" was released, Osbourne's voice in great shape, sounding more or less like he always has. How he's making music this strong after "riding the crazy train" for more than half-a-century is anyone's guess, but the better songs here rank among his best!
“This is quite possibly the most important album I have done in a very long time, probably since "No More Tears"” - Ozzy Osbourne.
"Ordinary Man" debuted at number 3 on the US Billboard 200 with 77 000 equivalent units, including 65 000 pure album sales. This is Osbourne's eighth top ten album on the chart as a solo artist, and equals the peak of his 2007 album "Black Rain". The album also debuted at number 3 on the UK Albums Chart, his highest-ever solo placing on the chart.
Release features Download Card for the album with additional bonus track "Take What You Want", which not appeared on the vinyl.

The thirteenth full-length studio album by legendary Heavy Metal singer.
Once again produced by Andrew Watt, this 13-track project has the most legendary guests ever on an Ozzy Osbourne release. Three tracks alone, “Patient Number 9”, “Degradation Rules”, and “One of Those Days”, feature Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) respectively, not to mention Mike McCready (Pearl Jam), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Zakk Wylde (Ozzy’s longstanding guitarist from the late 80’s) as well as the late Taylor Hawkins among others.
The lead Single and title track, "Patient Number 9", was released along with an accompanying music video. The clip is the first-ever video to incorporate Osbourne's hand-drawn artwork. "My demons were animated and can be seen during the Jeff Beck guitar solo in the song", wrote Osbourne on Twitter. The track subsequently debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, while concurrently achieving debuts of numbers 17 and 22 on Billboard's Hot Rock Songs and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, respectively.
At the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, "Patient Number 9" received a total of four nominations, including Best Rock Album. The title track "Patient Number 9" received nominations for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance, and "Degradation Rules" was nominated for Best Metal Performance. The album would go on to win two Grammys, including Best Rock Album and Best Metal Performance for "Degradation Rules". This win makes it the third Grammy Award that Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi won together, after previously winning two as members of Black Sabbath.
Partial proceeds from sales of this album will be donated to Ukraine/US Special Needs Orphans through Third Wave Volunteers. “In February, my son, Jack, worked with Third Wave Volunteers to evacuate special needs orphaned children out of Ukraine.  Right now, Ukraine is in desperate need of help, especially since the war started, so it feels right to work with such an important cause.” - Ozzy Osbourne.

The second re-release of the fifth full-length studio album by legendary British Gothic Doom Metal band.
"Draconian Times" is the most commercially successful release from one of the creators of Doom/Death Metal subgenre, also known as pioneers of Gothic Metal. The album continues where "Icon" had left off. Everything sounds rounder and sometimes also a little less heavy. Crunchy riffs entwine with Gothic passages, sewn together by the unique guitar-melodies of the duo Mackintosh/Aedy and Master Holmes' vocals, who sounds more melancholic and expressive than ever.
A roaring commercial and critical success, “Draconian Times” put Paradise Lost at the forefront of the British Metal scene, and saw them hit a peak that remains unequalled!

The second re-release of the fourth live album by the legendary British Gothic Doom Metal band.
Filmed at a sold-out show at The Forum, London on April 1st, 2011, this live album goes back in time to Paradise Lost's 1995 classic album, “Draconian Times”, and combines their matured experience with a new-found love to their own legacy.
Commented Holmes: "It was great fun doing the "Draconian Times" live shows, and the response outshined our expectations by far. All the shows were great, but the London show was a real highlight. Jens Bogren has mixed the songs brilliantly, the extras are fun, and the whole thing has come together tremendously well. We are lucky to have such devoted fans, prepared to travel all over the world to see our shows. This album is dedicated to them, and I hope they thoroughly enjoy it!"
Paradise Lost are one of the few outstanding acts working hard and earning their legendary status by the power of the song, and "Draconian Times MMXI" proves that these songs stand the test of time.

The second re-release of the twelfth full-length studio album by legendary British Gothic Doom/Death Metal band.
Paradise Lost's career trajectory comes virtually full circle on 2009's "Faith Divides Us – Death Unites Us", an album that sees the British Metal veterans resuming virtually the exact same accessible Gothic Doom style that characterized their most commercially and critically successful albums, in essence making it sound like the would-be successor to 1995's "Draconian Times". Of course, in the real world, that successor was 1997's "One Second", which initiated the band's often still remarkable but widely underrated voyage into a decade's worth of Electro-Goth Rock experiments before the start of its Metallic "rehabilitation" via a tentative eponymous set in 2005, and it's far more focused follow-up, "In Requiem", a couple of years later. At this point, many of the band's long-polarized fan base probably guessed what might come next, but few really believed they'd actually come face to face with that which they had longed for over so many years… Luckily for all involved, "Faith Divides Us – Death Unites Us" comes across not as a white flag of acquiescent apology for questionable career choices but as a proudly borne ensign backed up by a steady stream of skilfully realized anthems of sublime despondency ("As Horizons End," "First Light," "Last Regret," the title cut, etc.) too strong in their own right to be dismissed as self-plagiarism on any level. So are there exceptions to the musical templates established of old? Very few, verging on nonexistent, but they include Nick Holmes' reaching for unprecedented higher registers on "I Remain"; the guitar harmonics punctuating the energetic "Frailty"; the nearly Stoner Rock'n'Doom of "Universal Dream"; and the lingering electronic fireflies hovering just beyond sight (but you know they're there) on portions of the album closer, "In Truth." All of which supports the level of fan excitement surrounding "Faith Divides Us – Death Unites Us" and asks the next question: could a full-fledged devolution into the primal dirge of the band's formative Death/Doom Metal origins be next? Don't hold your breath, but stranger things have happened throughout Paradise Lost's increasingly intriguing career…
The album cover is based upon the "Dance Macabre – The Abbot" woodcut, first published in 1538.

The first re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary British Gothic Death/Doom Metal band.
The album, which introduced the world to Gothic Doom Metal!
"Gothic" was the album responsible for a whole sub-genre: Gothic Doom Metal, upon its release in 1991. Creating a more melancholy & atmospheric form of Dark Extremity, with the introduction of Gregor Mackintosh’s highly distinctive & unmistakable lead guitar melodies, Paradise Lost was quickly brought to the forefront as one of the pioneering bands of the early nineties, becoming highly influential to a generation of subsequent greats.
The "Gothic" album was recorded in late 1990 - early 1991 at the renowned Academy Studios in Yorkshire; a studio responsible for classic recordings from bands such as My Dying Bride, Anathema, Cradle Of Filth, among many others.
"Gothic", though a perfectly logical step in retrospect, seemed at the time of its release like something of a departure for the band's earliest fans. This perception was largely enforced by the less deliberate, more energetic arrangements given to songs like "Dead Emotion" and "Shattered", not to mention Paradise Lost's slightly cleaner approach to guitar crunch. Further standouts such as the title track, "Eternal", and "The Painless" also made cautious use of keyboards and even female vocals, which together added atmospheric nuances to the group's ultra-depressive power chords. Gaining in confidence, young vocalist Nick Holmes' growling style was still utterly unmusical here, but at least he was making himself heard over the band's monolithic din. His lyrics were also becoming increasingly more mature, and this maturity would help push Paradise Lost ahead of its demon-obsessed competitors with each subsequent album.
In June 2005, "Gothic" was inducted into the Decibel Magazine "Hall of Fame", becoming the fifth album overall to be featured there.

The first re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary British Death/Doom Metal band.
Timeless debut of Brutal and Atmospheric Death Metal legends and one of the early highlights in the formative years of Peaceville Records!
Paradise Lost are known for being the founders of the Gothic Death/Doom Metal genre – a style fully brought into existence with their genre-defining second album, the highly influential "Gothic".
Having released two albums for the UK’s Peaceville Records and later helping to establish Peaceville as home to the finest trio of UK Doom Metal bands (alongside My Dying Bride and Anathema), Paradise Lost then signed with fellow UK label, Music For Nations, which eventually led to the band breaking through to mainstream Rock and Metal audiences as their style evolved, becoming one of the UK’s most essential Metal exports around the globe in the process.
Featuring more Death Metal influences, Paradise Lost created a Dark and Atmospheric style of Brutal Death Metal, as opposed to one based on speed. The album was recorded at Academy Studios (My Dying Bride, Anathema, Cradle Of Filth) in Yorkshire, England.
On this, their modest debut, Paradise Lost helped define the rules of Doom/Death Metal: grinding, de-tuned anthems of woe topped with Death metal-style guttural vocals. Yet, even as they were laying down the blueprint, Paradise Lost was already reaching for realms unknown to their then-amateurish abilities and latent promise. This is evident in all but the most primitive tracks here, but only the occasionally memorable riff or discreet melody contained in tracks like "Paradise Lost", "Rotting Misery", "Deadly Inner Sense", and "Breeding Fear" (which introduces a female vocalist) even hint at the band's potential. 
The tracks "Our Saviour" and "Frozen Illusion" were rerecorded in other Paradise Lost albums, "Tragic Illusion 25 (The Rarities)" and "Medusa".
"Lost Paradise" serves as a welcome rediscovery for serious fans!

The sixth full-length studio album by American Pop-Rock singer.
The album debuted on the US Billboard 200 for the week of December 14 and peaked at number 26, spawning the Singles "Invincible", "Sex as a Weapon", and "Le Bel Age".
The Grammy Award-nominated single "Invincible" was produced by Mike Chapman and recorded for the soundtrack of the Matthew Robbins film "The Legend of Billie Jean", which, despite underperforming at the box office, became a cult classic to MTV fans in general. The song became commercially successful and was included on the album, despite its musical style differing from Benatar's at that time and more reminiscent of her earlier efforts. Benatar often commented at her concerts before performing the song that it "is from one of the worst movies ever made."
It was Benatar's last album to feature bassist Donnie Nossov, who along with drummer Myron Grombacher went on to play with Lita Ford on her breakthrough album, "Lita" (1988), and on the supporting tour. Grombacher would return to Benatar's band for her follow-up album, "Wide Awake in Dreamland", released after the three-year hiatus that followed "Seven The Hard Way".
"Seven The Hard Way" has been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The first re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary Dutch Thrash/Death Metal band.
“Malleus Maleficarum’s” history traces back to the beginnings of the genre; the album preceded Death’s “Leprosy” by a month, while Morbid Angel was yet to release its first album. The album was originally released on cassette by R/C Records (a sub-label of Roadracer Records, an American division of Roadrunner Records) and today, stands firmly as a monument of early-day Death Metal. 
Although the sound of this album is technically Death Metal, its direction is notably different from the band's subsequent work, leaning more towards the Thrash Metal genre with Punk influences, known as Crossover Thrash. Very Thrashy style with some hints to Possessed, Slayer and Infernal Majesty.
This is the only Pestilence album to include guitarist Randy Meinhard, who was replaced by Patrick Uterwijk prior to the making of their next album, "Consuming Impulse" (1989).
"Malleus Maleficarum" - is a band’s input, that stretches across nearly 40 years, blazed the trail for generations of Progressive Death Metal artists. A must-have for all Pestilence fans, and a perfect looking glass into the dawning of a legendary group!

The first re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary Dutch Death Metal band.
After releasing the now-timeless classic “Consuming Impulse” in 1989, Pestilence was faced with the necessity of replacing a notable member, vocalist Martin van Drunen, following his departure to pursue a career with Asphyx. The band found themselves at the crossroads with an uneasy task, given the success brought about by “Consuming Impulse”. As it turns out, the decision to revert to Patrick Mameli as vocalist not only stood the test of time, but, in hindsight, gave birth to a trademark ingredient of Pestilence’s core sound formula. To make things even more interesting, Mameli stepped away from playing bass, from now on assuming the double role of guitarist/vocalist, and enlisted Tony Choy (of Cyinc at the time), adding another famed name to the line-up, and another anchor point for the band’s inventive nature. Alongside Patrick Uterwijk (guitars) and Marco Foddis (drums), they recorded "Testimony Of The Ancients" (1991) at the legendary Morrissound Studios, where it acquired a refined production, courtesy of Scott Burns.
"Testimony of the Ancients" is regarded as a Progressive Death Metal classic from the originators of the genre. In comparison with the first three Pestilence albums, the material wasn't as abrasive, the musicianship matured, and the band’s previously found innovate technical accretions, rose to new, ingenious levels. Mameli steered the band towards a more Melodic and Technical approach, expanding on the Death Metal sound of its predecessor, "Consuming Impulse". The resulting concept album, "Testimony Of The Ancients" contrasted Brutal Death Metal riffs with Melodic interludes. After each song on the album, there was an instrumental outro track. This attempt to push the boundaries of Death Metal, at a time when the scene was saturated with copycat "one track minded" bands, mirrored the efforts of fellow Progressive bands Atheist and Death, who released "Unquestionable Presence" and "Human" respectively in 1991, the same year as "Testimony Of The Ancients".
The album can also be seen as a stepping stone on the way to the following Pestilence album, "Spheres", which departed still further from traditional Death Metal and headed towards Jazz/Fusion.
At the time of the album’s release, the demand for Pestilence elevated as never before and entailed massive touring; noteworthy is the band’s lauded performance at the Dynamo Open Air Festival from that period.

The debut full-length studio album by legendary British Synth-Pop band.
Immaculately crafted and seamlessly produced synthesized Dance-Pop, "Please" sketches out the basic elements of the duo's sound. At first listen, most of the songs come off as mere excuses for the dance-floor, driven by cold, melodic keyboard riffs and pulsing drum machines. However, the songcraft that the beats support is surprisingly strong, featuring catchy melodies that appear slight because of Neil Tennant's thin voice.
Tennant's lyrics were still in their formative stages, with half of the record failing to transcend the formulaic constraints of Dance-Pop.
The songs that do break free, the intentionally crass "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)", the lulling "Suburbia", and the hypnotic "West End Girls", are not only classic Dance Singles, they're classic Pop Singles.

The last Single by legendary British Progressive Rock band.
"Hey Hey Rise Up" is the first new track recorded by Pink Floyd since "Louder than Words" in 2014. The Single is based on a 1914 Ukrainian anthem, "Oh, the Red Viburnum in the Meadow", and features vocals in Ukrainian by Andriy Khlyvnyuk of the Boombox Band. The guitarist, David Gilmour, was inspired to record it in support of Ukraine during the 2022 russian invasion. Pink Floyd had been inactive for several years, and Gilmour had said several times that the band would not reunite; however, the war encouraged him to release the track as Pink Floyd.
The Single was released on 15 July 2022, alongside a new version of Pink Floyd's 1994 song "A Great Day for Freedom". All proceeds go to the Ukraine Humanitarian Relief Fund.
