Harmonix and MTV Games have announced that on June 15, one of the best known rock vocalists in the industry, Ozzy Osbourne, will be bringing six of his songs to the Rock Band Music Store, allowing those who enjoy Rock Band on the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii to download and sing them.

Ozzy Osbource, who led Black Sabbath to international success and then went on to have a good solo carrier, commented, “It’s great to bring my songs to Rock Band, especially material from the new album, Scream. I hope Rock Band players around the world are ready to have their living rooms invaded by me!”

Ozzy Osbourne is offering three of the tracks that will be part of the new studio album, “Scream,” which is set to release on the same date that his tracks hit Rock Band. The new single “Let Me Hear You Scream” is joined by another two songs, “Soul Sucker” and “Diggin' Me Down.” The other tracks on offer are “I Don't Wanna Stop” from “Black Rain,” which came out in 2007, “Crazy Babbies” from the 1998 release “No Rest for the Wicked” and, “No More Tears,” the hit from the album with the same name that came out in 1991.

The Ozzy Osbourne Pack 01 will be available for 800 Microsoft Points on the Xbox 360 and the equivalent in real life currency on the PlayStation 3. Gamers can also get each track individually.

MTV Networks is putting on some special programs in order to celebrate the new Ozzy album and his Rock Band launches, with a dedicated show coming to VH1 on June 15, an edition of Headbangers Ball and You Rock the Deuce on MTV 2 and a segment on MTVU.
