Insights from Participating Artists

Several bands have shared their thoughts on their contributions to this tribute project:

Imperial Domain (Sweden)

“Mr. Crowley has always stood out to us as one of Ozzy’s most iconic tracks—the atmosphere, the mysticism, and that unmistakable melody. Our version is a tribute to that legacy, pushed through our own lens.”

Insineratehymn (USA)

“Black Sabbath laid the foundation for everything we do. Covering ‘Into the Void’ was our way of paying tribute to one of the heaviest songs ever written while channeling it through the sound and intensity of Insineratehymn.”

Rêvasseur (Vietnam)

“Ozzy is the GOAT and always will be. Given that he was our first intro to the dark side, it is an honor to cover his banger track, ‘I Don’t Wanna Stop.’ Hope we have done it justice!”
