Speak Evil stand as the UK's longestrunning Ozzy Osbourne tribute and the only Black Sabbath tribute in the UK performing both the Ozzyera and the Dioera catalogue. Formed by professional, touring musicians with decades of experience across the UK and Europe, the band deliver a powerful, authentic and uncompromising tribute to the heaviest and most influential era of metal. The band's identity is rooted in the legacy of 1982, the year that defined the split between metal's two greatest frontmen. Ozzy Osbourne released Speak of the Devil, a ferocious live album of Sabbath classics performed with raw aggression and attitude. Weeks later, Black Sabbath released Live Evil, the first official live album featuring Ronnie James Dio - a soaring, powerful reinterpretation of both Dioera and Ozzyera material. Speak Evil honour both of these worlds, performing the full spectrum of Ozzy, Dio and Sabbath with accuracy, tone and total respect. Collectively, the members have performed with respected tribute and touring acts including Revelation Rhoads, LA80, Led Into Zeppelin, Iron Mayhem, Who's Who, Blood Red Saints, Gary Moore UK, Jetset Junkies and Riff Raff. This pedigree gives Speak Evil a level of authenticity, precision and musical depth rarely found in a Sabbath/Ozzy tribute. Frontman Dave brings the vocal power, grit and range required to deliver both Ozzy's unmistakable tone and Dio's soaring intensity. Justin anchors the band with a heavy, driving bass tone and tight backing vocals, drawing on decades of touring experience. Lee, a professional studio musician and recognised Randy Rhoads expert, handles guitar duties with the tone, accuracy and phrasing needed to cover Tony Iommi's iconic riffs as well as the Jake E. Lee and Zakk Wylde eras. Chris completes the lineup with powerful, precise drumming capable of handling everything from early Sabbath doom to the faster, more technical Dioera material.
