"Paranoid" by Heartsick Heroine

 


Minneapolis, Minnesota band Heartsick Heroine cover "Paranoid," the 1970 metal masterpiece from London, UK group Black Sabbath, fronted by the man, the myth, the undeniable rabies risk Ozzy Osbourne.

Less than three weeks before his passing last month, Ozzy threw one last hurrah in his hometown of Birmingham.

The "Back to the Beginning" event was the highest grossing charity concert of all time.

Beneficiaries include mental health and musical education initiatives across the UK.

Which is so very, very metal.

For another Black Sabbath cover, the Cardigans' version of "Iron Man" can be found here.

For Ozzy covers, The Barefoot Movement's version of "Crazy Train" can be found here, and Lily Holbrook's version of "Mama, I'm Coming Home" can be found here.

"Crazy Train" by The Barefoot Movement

 



It's a bit early, but I'm calling it now.

Nashville, Tennessee foursome The Barefoot Movement's version of Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" is the best cover I'll hear this year.

Each time they break into three part harmony... sublime.

I'm also glad that they provided proof in the form of video that it's possible to absolutely shred on a mandolin.
