Osbourne announced that he had started working on its follow-up, with Andrew Watt returning as producer.

Wartella. The clip is the first-ever video to incorporate Osbourne’s hand-drawn artwork. “My demons were animated and can be seen during the Jeff Beck guitar solo in the song,” wrote Osbourne on Twitter. The track subsequently debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, while concurrently achieving debuts of Nos. 17 and 22 on Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, respectively. At the same time, Osbourne announced the album, cover, track listing and release date.

The second single “Degradation Rules” featuring Tony Iommi was unveiled on 22 July. Four days before the album release, on 5 September, the third single “Nothing Feels Right” featuring Zakk Wylde was published. Osbourne performed during the halftime show at the Los Angeles Rams’ NFL season opener against the Buffalo Bills on 8 September in support of the album.
