Featuring singles “Satan is Real (Satan is a Sackler),” “Loaded,” and “Wildfire”

Today, acclaimed singer-songwriter Trapper Schoepp releases Osborne, his boldest and most unflinching album to date. Written in the wake of his stay at the Hazelden Betty Ford Center — where he was placed in the Osborne unit, a rehab wing poetically named after Ozzy Osbourne — the album channels Schoepp’s journey through opioid dependency, recovery, and renewal into 11 tracks of searing honesty and surprising celebration.

Already, the album’s singles have showcased its scope and urgency. “Satan is Real (Satan is a Sackler)” takes aim at the Sackler family and the pharmaceutical industry’s role in the opioid epidemic, fusing righteous anger with punk grit and Sabbath-inspired menace. “Loaded” cuts just as deeply, recounting the casual cruelty of doctors who fed his decade-long dependency with advance prescriptions — pills he likens to “loaded guns” sitting in his desk. Meanwhile, “Wildfire” opens the record in a blaze of synths and Springsteen energy, a cathartic anthem for renewal.

“The title of Trapper Schoepp’s new album is drawn from a very personal perspective, one that reflects the dire struggles that Schoepp went through while battling addiction… That tenacity is encapsulated in the song ‘Satan Is Real (Satan Is A Sackler)’” – Goldmine Magazine

Produced by Mike Viola (Andrew Bird, Dawes) and Tyler Chester (Madison Cunningham, Jackson Browne), Osborne strips away artifice in favor of raw performances, recorded largely live to tape. The result is Schoepp’s most daring and defiant work yet — an album that confronts the darkness of addiction while finding light in recovery, resilience, and rock ’n’ roll.
