HOWLING GIANT comment on the track: "Ozzy is the biggest vocal influence for us, blending the clean melodic vocals with heavier pentatonic based riffery, which is one of the core flavors of Howling Giant and directly influenced by Sabbath", writes drummer and vocalist Zach Wheeler. "Usually, when we do a cover, we like to chop and screw everything from the song form, musical arrangement, and sometimes will even add in our own melodies. We feel that the only reason to do a cover is to make it your own and offer a different experience than the original. When it comes to Black Sabbath, they're so revered within our scene that we decided not to alter the riffs or song form too much. We used our classic HG tone and added some sax on the low end riff to offer a slightly different sound palette. We also recently worked with Ben from All Them Witches on our Ripple Music split album, 'Masamune & Muramasa', so we wanted to get him shredding dual solos with Tom over some extended sections."


HOWLING GIANT are an up and coming US stoner doom band from Nashville, Tennessee. The trio founded in 2014 has already released three EPs and their debut full-length "The Space Between Worlds" (2019) immediately created a huge buzz around the globe.
