Black Sabbath drumming icon Bill Ward is set to drop a monumental surprise on the music world! In the inaugural episode of his new show, "LA Radio Sessions," on 99.1 KLBP-FM, Ward revealed he has two new solo albums nearing completion. Fans can brace themselves for a deeply personal and creatively fearless return from the legendary heavy metal drummer.
"We've been living in the studio," Ward stated, highlighting the intense dedication behind these upcoming releases. With final overdubs in progress, anticipation is building for the mixing phase, promising new Bill Ward music very soon.
A Bold New Direction for Bill Ward's Solo Work
Ward described a liberating approach to songwriting for these albums, emphasizing a raw, unfiltered expression. "I've just let everything go," he explained. "I wanted to play something that plays in my heart and then comes out of my soul." Expect a departure from previous norms, as Ward embraces more jazz influences and a candid use of profanity to convey his current life experiences.
Beyond his renowned drumming, Ward has also expanded his musical roles, delving deeper into piano and bass work on the new tracks. "I'm trying to grow as a musician," he affirmed. This willingness to take risks and explore new territory has resulted in music that is "very heartfelt."
Unearthing Childhood Memories & Special Guests
One particularly intriguing track on the second album delves into Ward's childhood memories of playing in the graveyards of Aston Church – a poignant connection given Black Sabbath's upcoming July performance near the very same spot. This song promises to be a "metal thing," with a special guest appearance by none other than Slayer drumming legend Dave Lombardo.
Ward expressed his joy in collaborating with other musicians, noting, "I love being interactive with different musicians. So it's been a blessing for me." While he handles drums on roughly 80% of the material, he welcomes guest drummers, bass players, and guitarists to enhance the creative process.
These new releases will be credited simply as "Bill Ward," distinguishing them from previous Bill Ward Band material, though Ward assured fans that unreleased Bill Ward Band tracks still exist and may see the light of day in the future.

There’s a wild story going around that Ozzy's estate is broke, and we're not buying it for a second. We'll tell you why we think it's a load of garbage. Then, we dive into the brand-new Testament song "Shadow People." We believe this track is a return to form for the heavy metal legends and might just be their best song since The Gathering.
