Paranoid on C64: Ozzy Osbourne Chiptune Tribute

226

Ozzy lives on—in glorious SID. In Paranoid on C64, Nordischsound delivers a heartfelt and electrifying tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne by transforming the legendary Black Sabbath anthem into a full-blown Commodore 64 chiptune masterpiece.

From the first distorted riff to the gritty 8-bit wails of the SID chip, Paranoid on C64 is not just a cover—it’s a resurrection. Using GoatTracker and an actual 8580 SID chip, Nordischsound rebuilds Ozzy’s iconic soundscape with pixel-perfect precision. The result? A track that’s as nostalgic as it is powerful, fusing heavy metal spirit with retro computing flair.

Mastered in FL Studio and paired with a video packed full of retro attitude, this tribute taps into the soul of vintage gaming and rock rebellion. Whether you’re a lifelong Sabbath fan, a SID enthusiast, or just curious what happens when you cross metal with machine code, this video hits all the right notes.

This isn’t Ozzy auto-tuned for a TikTok crowd. This is Ozzy filtered through phosphor glow, cassette hiss, and 8-bit crunch. And yes, it absolutely rocks.
