BLACK SABBATH Drummer To Release New Solo Track

March 4, 2004

BLACK SABBATH drummer Bill Ward has decided to release another one of the songs from his long-awaited "Beyond Aston" solo album free online as a "teaser" of sorts for the CD, which he hopes to complete soon. The name of the song Bill will be making available is "The Dark Half Hour". More details as to exactly when fans will be able to download this file, along with further details regarding the album's release, will be available soon on Bill's official web site, BillWard.com.

As previously reported, Ward recently released a limited-edition CD-single, with proceeds being donated to the charity of each purchaser's choice from one of five organizations. The single features the track "Straws", which Ward wrote and recorded to express his concerns regarding the war with Iraq and the escalation of terrorism. Each copy of the CD, which is available exclusively on Bill's web site, is numbered and autographed by Ward. A total of 2,200 copies of the limited-edition "Straws" CD-singles were produced in all, with Ward servicing 1,200 copies to governmental heads of state throughout the world, humanitarian organizations, peace support groups, media outlets and fellow musicians. Among those who have received the special package are President George W. Bush, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and members of the United States Congress.
