Ozzfest, Vol. 1: Live captures
Ozzy's 1996 return to the stage, when he launched an ambitious day-long festival of metal with such groups as
Sepultura,
Slayer,
Powerman 5000,
Biohazard,
Fear Factory, and
Cellophane. While
Ozzy only contributes a handful of cuts on the album, his influence is apparent throughout the record, and the performances the supporting acts turn in are tough and forceful, making it a good sampler of post-alternative heavy metal.
