Tony Iommi, the founding member of Black Sabbath and the godfather of heavy metal, returns with his first new solo music in 21 years and his first full-length release since Black Sabbath’s final album “13″. Across eight inventive, expansive and absorbing tracks, Tony and long-term producer Mike Exeter shape one of 2026’s defining rock albums. It is sonically heavy and rich in texture, bringing a long-held musical vision to life with some of the finest guitar playing of his career.
“From The Dark” sees 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 Exeter, 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. 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!”
