BLACK SABBATH Legend TONY IOMMI Announces New Solo Album ‘From The Dark’
Tony Iommi, the guitarist and founder of Black Sabbath, has announced a new solo album titled "From The Dark", released via BMG. The record was unveiled alongside its lead single, "World Alone", premiered at a global streaming event in Iommi's hometown of Birmingham, and arrives roughly a year after Black Sabbath's farewell show at 2025's "Back To The Beginning" concert in the same city, underlining Iommi's continued creative output beyond the band.
The nine-track album features Norwegian vocalist Jorn Lande, who co-wrote every song, alongside bassist Becky Baldwin and drummer Karl Brazil, and was co-produced by Iommi with longtime collaborator Mike Exeter. A limited seven-inch single of "World Alone", including an instrumental B-side, is due on 4 September, with the song also set to appear on the Gibson learn-to-play-guitar app, while the full album will be issued across multiple deluxe vinyl, CD and media-book formats.

Explained simply
Tony Iommi is the guitarist and founder of Black Sabbath, a hugely important British heavy metal band formed in the late 1960s. The band's dark, heavy sound became foundational to the metal genre and shaped rock music for decades to follow.
Alongside Black Sabbath, Iommi has maintained a solo recording career throughout his decades in music, releasing his own albums and collaborations. His solo work represents an independent creative outlet that runs parallel to his role in the band.
Black Sabbath held a final farewell concert in 2025, bringing the group's touring years to an end after more than fifty years together. The band remains one of the most influential and respected acts in music history.
