To promote the album, a pack of Ozzy Osbourne tracks was released on Jas downloadable content for the Rock Band video game series, containing three Scream songs and three of Ozzy’s biggest hits. It is Osbourne’s first album since 1986, The Ultimate Sin, using his classic logo on the cover art. The album’s main single released was “Let Me Hear You Scream”, which reached number 6 on American Rock Songs. Scream is also the first release to feature keyboardist Adam Wakeman, who has worked with Osbourne as a touring musician since 2004. The album’s drums were recorded by Kevin Churko, although Tommy Clufetos was credited while he was touring with Osbourne’s band at the time. It is the only Osbourne album to feature guitarist Gus G, who replaced longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde.
The album was originally titled Soul Sucka, but was changed to Scream before release, after fans voiced their objections. The album, despite reaching number 4 on the Billboard 200 in the USA and 12th on the UK Albums Chart, was considered commercially disappointing. The album was recorded in the private studio of Osbourne called “The Bunker” at his home in Los Angeles, California, and produced by himself and kevin Churko, with whom he had previously worked on the previous album, Black Rain, 2007.
Scream is the eleventh studio album of Ozzy Osbourne, released in the UK on 14 June 2010.
