Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi Confirms His Participation In William Shatner’s Metal Album
During a recent interview with BBC Breakfast, Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi confirmed his participation in William Shatner’s metal album. The guitarist also praised the new music, saying “it’s really good.”
Iommi said the following:
“Well, when I was asked if I’d do a track with William Shatner, I went, ‘What?’ I was wondering what it was gonna be like. And when he sent me the track, the idea of the track, I really liked it, and it’s really good what he’s doing. So I put a riff to that and built it up. And it’s not out yet. I don’t know when [it will be released]. I think it’s at the end of the year or beginning of next year.”
He also added the following after Shatner’s singing style was described as being “quirky”:
“Yeah, he does. He more or less speaks it… But his lyrics for it were great. I mean, they’re really good. [The lyrics are] really about what’s happening today. And so I enjoyed doing that. That was very different.”

The Obsessed Finish New Album, Planning New EP
The Obsessed have officially finished work on their new album “Live Fast – Love Hard – Die Free.” The effort is expected to be released early next year. A new EP is also being planned as well.
Frontman Scott “Wino” Weinrich said the following about the album during a recent appearance on Laughing Monkey With Shawn Ratches:
“It’s finished. It’s mixed, mastered, the whole nine [yards], and the label has it. The label usually has a plan, and I think because of the fact that we got some stuff going on with us, too, as far as Jason [Taylor] is having a baby. Because of that, we decided we’re gonna push [the release] to about, I think, March [of 2027]. So, that seems like a long way away, it really does, but it’s feasible because of the holidays and all that. We’re gonna probably release a single. I’m not sure which one, what yet, but we’re probably gonna do a video, too, I would imagine.”
He also commented on the EP:
“We have a couple of tunes that didn’t make the final grade, that we still have in the can, that they’re good songs, but maybe for one reason or another, I didn’t have the lyrics or whatever it might be. But I think what I’d really like to do with the EP is come at it with a brand new thing. Instead of doing a bunch of short songs, who knows? Maybe it’ll be one song. I don’t know. But I’m kind of feeling pretty inspired.”
He then circled back to the album:
“‘Live Fast – Love Hard – Die Free’ [is] one of the tunes [on the album]. And there’s a lot of tunes on it. The tunes are short. I don’t know, man. I like it. I never know. We’ll see what happens.”
He also added the following when asked about performing new material before it’s released:
“Well, we’ve been playing the title track. We kind of don’t want to [play any more than that]… I mean, one camp is, like, ‘Let’s just play them.’ The other camp is, like, ‘Let’s hold them until the release.’ So we’re in that quandary. But I think that we’ll probably just hold them. The one song goes over good. I mean, it’s pretty fast. I wrote that song with the new lineup in mind, because Bob [Pantella] can come right out of the gate blazing. I’ve never been able to do that before. So that’s killer.
When I was writing ‘Live Fast – Love Hard – Die Free’, I had [Bob] in mind [when] I wrote the drum [parts] and stuff, ’cause I could see it in my head, and now we can come out of the gate blazing if we want, which is amazing.”

Jack Osbourne On Ozzy Osbourne A.I. Avatar: “The Backlash, It Was My Own Fault”
As previously reported, the family of the late Ozzy Osbourne recently licensed his likeness for a new A.I. avatar created by HYPERREAL. The digitized singer will be displayed via Proto Luma “holoportation” devices in the U.K. and U.S. However, the idea has been met with backlash. As such, Ozzy’s son Jack further discussed the controversy, taking the blame for how the idea has been presented.
Jack said the following during a recent appearance on Great Company With Jamie Laing:
“The backlash, it was my own fault. It was, like, we’d just kind of figured this thing out, that we were gonna do it, and I guess I wasn’t properly armed with the way to properly explain what it was. And I think people thought that next thing you know, it’s gonna be Ozzy Osbourne selling cell phones. It’s, like, no.
A lot of people are doing this now, where essentially by creating the A.I. model and creating the digital fingerprint of whoever, whatever, whether it’s my father or Bob Marley’s people are doing it, and Michael Jackson’s team are doing it, by kind of creating this digital fingerprint, you ultimately will own the digital I.P. [intellectual property] and image of that person. And so as to what it can be used for now, yeah, there’s a handful of things. But down the road, it’s where things are going. It’s no different than saying, ‘I wanna own my images of my father. I wanna own his intellectual property,’ whatever. It’s just another avenue. And the fact that A.I. is what it is, it’s not going anywhere, it’s not changing, it was our choice to go, ‘Hey, we should be out in front of this, and we should not be on the back foot with having this kind of new pillar of entertainment properly locked down.’”
