ALL IRELAND METAL PROJECT To Release 'Aiséirí' And Ozzy Osbourne Tribute

THE ALL IRELAND METAL PROJECT was founded in 2021 to bring together musicians from across both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Now, in 2025, the project has been revived to deliver its official conclusion in the form of the Aiséirí Documentary, edited by CosmoPalace, and set to release on December 6th, 2025. In addition, on December 3rd, 2025, Ozzy Osbourne's birthday, A Tribute to Ozzy will be unleashed raising funds for Parkinson’s Ireland.

THE ALL IRELAND METAL PROJECT is one of the most ambitious collaborative efforts in the history of Irish heavy music. Founded in 2021 by Irish musicians Darragh O’Connor(Horrenda/Outis) and Shannon Bowman(Studio 23/Outis), the initiative was created during the COVID era to unite metal artists across all four provinces. More than 140 musicians have participated across multiple releases under the title Aiséirí, meaning "Resurrection" in Irish. The project was built to revive the Irish metal community following the pandemic, promote cross-genre collaboration, and raise funds for meaningful causes. Previous releases supported Barnardos Ireland and Women’s Aid, and the final charity focus is Parkinson’s Ireland.

The upcoming tribute is the final musical release of the project, celebrating the influence of Ozzy Osbourne while also highlighting the strength and unity of the Irish metal scene. The documentary that follows on December 6th will showcase the recording process, participating bands and studios, and the community effort that sustained the project for more than four years.
