We’re all Black Sabbath fans, so we really want to be able to do this. As I said when Ozzy had passed, one of my dreams was to play a gig supporting Black Sabbath, and while that dream will never come to fruition now, just being able to pay tribute to Ozzy and the original Black Sabbath in this way it’s a huge honour for me and the guys.
Next up was Judas Priest, and wow, what a performance, what a set, what a night. If I hadn’t already been overloaded by how good Phil Campbell and Alice Cooper were, Judas Priest were exceptional, and it finished off what was essentially a night of Hard Rock & Heavy Metal heaven for me. Getting to hear so much from Painkiller live was a real blessing, being Priest's heaviest album, it is a personal favourite of mine. I was also surprised by the inclusion of Solar Angels, which was also performed expertly live by the band.
My bandmates and I have pondered since the news, without Ozzy, without Black Sabbath, we would have likely never met, never become friends, and never played music together. That is just how much of an impact Ozzy has had on our lives and everything we do.
In this session, our bassist, Isaac, and lead guitarist, Toby, both show us the instruments they are using, as well as their rigs. We are experimenting with new room mics/mixes as well as a multi-camera setup for these videos.
The song in question is Cryptopsy - “Until There’s Nothing Left”. Jesus f+#~$g Christ, this song is heavy. Obviously, if you know Suffocation, you likely know Cryptopsy, and they’re probably more responsible for the tech-death sound as we know it, “None So Vile” being the prime example.
