During an interview with NJ.com, Zakk Wylde confirmed that Ozzy Osbourne was hoping to record a new album with him before his death. The guitarist said the following:
“He was texting me, ‘Zakk, let’s do another record. Because I really loved it when you were going through your Allman Brothers, Skynyrd phase when we did ‘No More Tears’. It’s heavy but it’s more melodic. It’s not pummeling heavy.’ So I said, ‘All right, Oz. Whatever you want.’”
