Magnetic Intrusion: A 45-Year Musical Journey and a Tribute to the Prince of Darkness

For some musicians, music is more than a passion—it is a lifelong devotion born from a single spark of inspiration. For Magnetic Intrusion, that spark came from Black Sabbath. The band’s dark riffs and unrelenting energy ignited a creative fire that has driven the project ever since.

Black Sabbath’s influence has reached countless fans and musicians around the globe, shaping not only a genre but entire lives. Among those deeply moved was Magnetic Intrusion, who found in their sound the reason to create music.

The recent passing of Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary frontman and cultural icon, left an undeniable void in the rock world. Out of grief and admiration, Magnetic Intrusion released a powerful tribute titled “The Prince of Darkness”—a hard-hitting track that channels the raw intensity, heavy rhythms, and commanding spirit that Ozzy embodied throughout his career.

The song serves not only as a farewell but also as a celebration of Ozzy’s enduring legacy. With its fierce energy, driving guitars, and unfiltered emotion, “The Prince of Darkness” captures why the influence of Ozzy Osbourne continues to live on in new generations of music.

Magnetic Intrusion has been writing and recording songs for more than four decades. Now, with this release, Magnetic Intrusion shines a light on both personal dedication and the universal impact of one of rock’s greatest figures.

“The Prince of Darkness” stands as a reminder that hard rock is alive, that the echoes of Ozzy’s voice and spirit will never fade, and that independent artists like Magnetic Intrusion continue to carry the torch with power and respect!

Magnetic Intrusion Strikes A Chord!

In the aftermath of his passing, the dedications have been vast – some short and concise, simple posts, some taking the form of huge concert events and odes. In every case, the fact is clear – Ozzy Ozbourne’s impact on metal, on music, and on the lives of those who knew and loved him, was immense.

Magnetic Intrusion has taken the time to craft this evocative dedication to The Prince Of Darkness, and it’s both musically and lyrically impassioned and poignant, as a celebration of the man who changed the face of metal.

Following an intimately picked guitar line, alongside one that hits with soulful distortion and freedom, The Prince Of Darkness is nostalgic but crisp, and this voice at the forefront gifts that same balance and versatility – with softer moments next to those that pierce through with energy and emotion.

It’s a compelling performance, a gorgeous melodic progression, and an overall impressive, engaging, and immersive moment of songwriting, performance, and dedication.

Magnetic Intrusion has been making music as a solo artist for 45 years, but the sense of freshness and vibrancy, the emotional weight and clarity of this release, feels like the work of someone absolutely at the peak of their creative ability and love for the process. You can feel the sadness from the loss of Ozzy Osbourne, but you can also feel the influence, the gratitude, the inspiration, and those qualities resound and linger after listening.

Black Sabbath were the very reason that Magnetic Intrusion started making music, and The Prince Of Darkness is an open letter and celebration of that fact.
