Ozzy Obourne
📀 The Ultimate Sin
#HeavyMetal #HardRock
40 years ago Ozzy Osbourne from West Midlands, England, #UK released his 4th studio album.
The Ultimate Sin was the highest charting and best selling Ozzy album at the time.
The album is generally poorly rated in Osbourne's solo discography and even Ozzy himself was never much proud of it in retrospect.
Nevertheless this is one of my favorites from him, also thanks to the wonderful work of guitarist Jake E. Lee, here at his last studio appearance with Ozzy🤘
In this album:
#OzzyOsbourne – vocals
#JakeELee – guitars
#PhilSoussan – bass

Black Sabbath
📀 Seventh Star
#HeavyMetal #HardRock
40 years ago Black Sabbath from Birmingham, #UK, released their 12th studio album.
Seventh Star came out 3 years after the previous 👉 Born Again and was originally intended as the first solo album of guitarist Tony Iommi.
#BlackSabbath in fact did not officially disband, but Iommi put the band on hiatus since at the time he was the only remaining original member.
The record company pushed Iommi to still use the Black Sabbath monicker, that's why the album was published as "Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi".
Despite being negatively recieved by critics and generally poorly reviewed, this is a great album ❤️🔥
In this album:
#TonyIommi – guitars
#GlennHughes – vocals
#EricSinger – drums
#DaveSpitz "The Beast" – bass
#GeoffNicholls – keyboards

Black Celebration is the landmark album for #DepecheMode. The band moved away from the early Synth Pop years and teenybopper image in favour of darker sound, lyrics and outfit.

Moonmadness is the last #Camel album recorded by the original formation, the final 4 songs are a loose concept with each track based on the personality of each band member.

30 years ago The Divine Comedy from Northern Ireland, #UK released their 4th studio album.
Casanova marked the band's commercial breakthrough, mainly thanks to the single "Something For The Weekend" after which #TheDivineComedy were (wrongly) addressed by many as #BritPop.
The album and the band are in fact rather different!
Casanova is apparently linked to Venice.
👉 "Something For The Weekend" video is entirely filmed in Venice, the album title and the song "Theme From Casanova" are inspired by 👉 the Venetian adventurer, the front cover is a photo of leader Neil Hannon on a water taxi on the #GrandCanal.
Classy work 🙌

For this album Iommi and Butler downtuned their instruments, achieving what Iommi called a "bigger, heavier sound"🤘
For this reason Master Of Reality is not only considered a Heavy Metal milestone, also the forefather of #StonerRock / #SludgeMetal.
The album begins with a tape loop of Tony Iommi coughing from a joint he was smoking with Ozzy Osbourne, perfect introduction to the opener "Sweet Leaf", an overt ode to marjuana.
The proto speed metal "After Forever", the anthem "Children Of The Grave", the stunning psychedelic walz "Solitude", the final stoner "Into The Void"...
