Ozzy Osbourne - The Ultimate Sin 

14

The 1986 The Ultimate Sin album cover by Ozzy Osbourne features fantasy-horror illustration by renowned artist Boris Vallejo. It depicts a powerful, muscular woman with red hair—likely modeled after a bodybuilder—standing over a defeated, demonic figure with Ozzy's face. The scene is defined by vibrant, 80s glam-metal style, with gothic surrealism and bold, dramatic lighting. 

The album is a pivotal, platinum-certified album marking his recovery from substance abuse and a shift toward a more commercial, 80s "pop-metal" sound. It is significant for featuring guitarist Jake E. Lee’s final performances, the debut of bassist Phil Soussan (co-writer of "Shot in the Dark"), and covering themes like nuclear war and the Cold War.
