Scream is the tenth studio album by English Heavy Metal musician Ozzy Osbourne. Released in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2010, the album was recorded at Osbourne's home studio "The Bunker" in Los Angeles, California and produced by himself and Kevin Churko, who had previously worked on Black Rain. The album was commercially successful, reaching number 12 on the UK Albums Chart and number four on the US Billboard 200 chart.[1][2]

Originally titled Soul Sucka,[3] the album is the first to feature guitarist Gus G and drummer Tommy Clufetos, who replaced long-term guitarist Zakk Wylde and Mike Bordin respectively.[4] Scream is also the first release to feature keyboardist Adam Wakeman, who has worked with Osbourne as a touring musician since 2004. The lead single released from the album was "Let Me Hear You Scream", which peaked at number six on the American Rock Songs chart.[5]

A 2CD, "Tour Edition" version of the album was released in the U.S on October 5, 2010. This package contains the original album on CD1, and a second CD with seven bonus songs. "One More Time"(originally a pre-order iTunes exclusive), "Jump the Moon"(originally a bonus track on the Japanese release) and "Hand of the Enemy" (previously unreleased) from the Scream sessions, and four additional live tracks recorded during the UK leg of the Scream tour: "Bark at the Moon", "Let me Hear You Scream", "No More Tears" and a cover of Black Sabbath's "Fairies Wear Boots". A four-sided vinyl edition, containing the aforementioned studio tracks along with the live version of "Let Me Hear you Scream" and the single version of "Life Won't Wait", is also available. [6]

Background

To promote the album, an Ozzy Osbourne track pack has been released as downloadable content for the Rock Band video game series, containing three Scream songs and three of Ozzy's greatest hits. "Let Me Hear You Scream", "Soul Sucker" and "Diggin' Me Down" were released alongside "I Don't Wanna Stop", "Crazy Babies" and "No More Tears" on June 15, 2010.[7]

Other promotions used to advertise the album include the stunt at the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim MLB game on 12 June 2010, in which Osbourne encouraged the crowd to scream the word "SCREAM" as loud and as long as possible. The goal was to earn the Guinness World Record for loudest and longest scream from a crowd, and it was met successfully. Although the official decibel level has not been announced, the stadium beat the previous record set by a group of Finnish Boy Scouts, which was 127.2 dBA.[8] The money earned was donated to ThinkCure! to aid cancer research. Osbourne has also premiered on many new commercials, video games, albums, etc. to promote the album.

"Let Me Hear You Scream" was featured along with "Crazy Train" in the video game Madden NFL 11.

"Let Me Hear You Scream" hit number 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart, which is Osbournes second single to acchieve such a feat.

CBS had also promoted the song "Let Me Hear You Scream" in their television show "CSI: NY" and it was also featured in the episode "Redemption".

Osbourne is currently promoting the album on the Scream World Tour.
