In 1995, Holmes was brought to the attention of Ozzy Osbourne who was looking for a new guitarist to take over Zakk Wylde's spot for the "Ozzmosis" album touring cycle. Former OZZY OSBOURNE and DAVID LEE ROTH guitarist Joe Holmes has shared a second teaser for a new song called "Deadfall". The track, which will be made available under the Joe Holmes name, features a recording lineup that is similar to the one that tracked the debut album from Joe's FARMIKOS project, with Holmes on guitar, Robert Locke on vocals, and Holmes's former OZZY OSBOURNE bandmates, bassist Robert Trujillo (now in METALLICA) and drummer Mike Bordin (also of FAITH NO MORE) on drums. Holmes would go on to co-write three songs, "Facing Hell", "Junkie" and "That I Never Had", which appeared on Ozzy's 2001 album, "Down To Earth".

The most “kick-ass” Black Sabbath song, according to Ozzy Osbourne (Far Out Magazine)

Black Sabbath had plenty of heavy metal classics in their discography, but Ozzy Osbourne pointed to one 'Master of Reality' track as his favourite.

I’ve always preferred just going into the studio and playing, without spending a lot of time rehearsing or getting sounds.” “During Master of Reality, we started getting more experimental and began taking too much time to record,” Iommi said in 1992. Master of Reality would prove to be the start of a new era for Black Sabbath, even though Iommi found that it also represented the band getting too comfortable in the studio.
