The legendary Tony Iommi has revealed all of the details of a new solo record, a journey into the mind of metal’s finest.

It’s titled ‘From The Dark’ and will be released on October 23. It sees Tony joining forces with vocalist Jorn Lande, who shares writing credits on all songs, bassist Becky Baldwin and drummer Karl Brazil. It was also co-produced by Tony alongside Mike Exeter, his long-time creative partner.

Tony had this to say about the project, stating, “It’s an album we’ve really enjoyed making. We’re not trying to prove anything – it’s a great album, it rocks!”

The artwork looks like this:

And the journey starts with ‘World Alone’, a rip-roaring, adventurous celebration of metal at its most bodacious and boundless. From Iommi’s bludgeoning riffs and technically wondrous solos, to the worldbuilding at the core of the lyrics, it’s a triumph in every sense.
