Ozzy Makes You Want To Scream

Ozzy Osbourne has revealed that the name of his new album is Scream, and that the album’s first single will make its worldwide debut in a US TV drama.

Scream is released in July and will be preceded by debut single ‘Let Me Hear You Scream’. The song will make its debut in the show CSI: NY on 14 April (in the US) during a prison riot scene.

The show’s executive producer Peter Lenkov, who also co-wrote the screenplay for the episode, admits Osbourne's new tune was perfect for scenes in which show regular Hill Harper is trapped in a prison during a riot.

Lenkov says, "We were looking for something high energy and irreverent to sell the madness of a prison riot. We immediately responded to the new Osbourne tune. The song exceeded our expectations and brought exactly the right tone to the episode."

Ozzy revealed: "When I heard they were going to use ‘Let Me Hear You Scream’ for a prison riot scene, I thought, 'Well, now that's some thing I know about.'" (Presumably referring to his time spent in prison when he was 18).

The original album title, Soul Sucka, was canned when it turned out that it was a pretty rubbish name for a rock record.

Scream will feature the debut of Ozzy's new guitarist Gus G and will be the follow up to 2007's Black Rain.
