This project started as a dream of Bob Daisley's nearly 20 years ago.
Having written and played on the landmark Ozzy Osbourne albums 'Blizzard of Oz' and 'Diary of a Madman', which sold in excess of 30 million copies worldwide, Bob had always wanted to give some of the more anthemic numbers that he had co-written a different perspective.
With a desire to record a hard rock project based around those albums with the infusion of a number of new tracks in the same mould, Bob assembled a superstar line up. That line up included Jimmy (who Bob had worked with earlier in 2003), Lee, Don and Steve, and they recorded in Florida at Greg Rike's and in London at Air Studios in July of 2003. Under the watchful eye of producer Darren Schneider (Deep Purple, Matchbox 20, Creed) the project has produced some of the most inspirational new rock tunes to be recorded in many years. The album was mixed at Metropolis Audio, Melbourne and mastered at Edensound Mastering, Melbourne,
