Description
BMG Records are delighted to announce the worldwide release of the brand-new album from legendary guitarist Tony Iommi, entitled From The Dark.
From The Dark sees Tony Iommi joined throughout by Jorn Lande, who shares writing credits on all songs, as well as bassist Becky Baldwin and drummer Karl Brazil. Co-produced by Tony and Mike Exeter, his long-time creative partner, co-writer, producer and audio engineer, the sound is crystalline, vibrant and enormous, engulfing the listener in a state-of-the-art sonic experience that is as contemporary as it is timeless.
Tony Iommi says, "It's an album we've really enjoyed making. We're not trying to prove anything - it's a great album, it rocks!"
From the opening notes of 'Over The Violent Sun', featuring a classic, driving down-tuned guitar riff from Tony Iommi and the dramatic vocal prowess of Jorn Lande, it is clear that From The Dark is an outstanding album that can hold its place amongst the impressive Iommi catalogue.
'Black Times' continues the journey, a sucker-punch strike that takes no prisoners, leading into the barn-storming first single 'World Alone', before fourth track 'Beyond The Dead' changes the pace, with a stately and sinister riff interwoven with epic orchestration.
The existential questioning of Lande's lyrics, full of dystopian imagery and ruminations on the fleeting nature of the human experience is writ-large throughout the album, especially on 'Stormwatcher' with its nautical metaphors and dreams of new horizons. A brilliant centrepoint of this remarkable album, 'Stormwatcher' is matched in scope and drama by the subsequent 'Death Wake', both music and lyrics combining to create a vivid picture of the cruelties of a life without love and humanity.
From The Dark's closing two songs, the furious passion of 'Return Of The Arbalist' and the truly epic kaleidoscope of 'Legacy' showcase the power and drama, the light and the shade that courses through the album. Coming a year after Black Sabbath's final-ever show, at 2025's Back To The Beginning concert in Birmingham, it demonstrates the creative fires that burn ever-brightly in Tony Iommi and is undoubtedly one of the greatest rock albums to be released this year.
