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.

Las Vegas, NV – In a significant update, former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee has confirmed that the two individuals allegedly responsible for shooting him last fall have been arrested and are scheduled for sentencing next month (July 2025). This news comes as Lee prepares for his highly anticipated performance at the "Back To The Beginning" event in Birmingham, UK, an all-star concert marking Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne's final live performance.

Last October, Lee, 68, was shot multiple times in his driveway – in the forearm, back (breaking a rib), and foot – during an early morning incident while about to walk his dog, Coco. Miraculously, no vital organs were hit, and his beloved dog was unharmed. Local police reportedly found 15 shell casings at the scene.

For die-hard Motörheadbangers and Lemmy acolytes, the unearthed "The Manticore Tapes" is more than just another archival release; it's a peek behind the curtain into the very genesis of rock and roll's most iconic power trio. Recorded way back in August 1976 at Emerson, Lake & Palmer's Manticore Studios, this long-lost album showcases the legendary "Three Amigos" – Lemmy Kilmister, "Fast" Eddie Clarke, and Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor – in their rawest, most embryonic form. It's a fascinating historical document, a gritty blueprint of the speed metal and hard rock juggernaut they would soon become. But let's be honest, there's a reason these early recordings remained tucked away for nearly five decades.
