From The Dark LP (Indie Exclusive Red/Black Marble 45 RPM)

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 his long-term producer Mike Exeter have created one of 2026’s defining rock albums. Sonically heavy and rich in musical textures, it sees Tony bring to life a musical vision long-in-the-making, and features some of the finest guitar performances of his career. “World Alone,” the first single, is a fast-paced, guitar-driven track with Tony’s signature, monster riffs driving throughout. It’s heavy, yet catchy and is uplifting courtesy of the lyricist and vocalist, Jorn Lande. This is classic Iommi and bears all the hallmarks of his legendary guitar work combined with a contemporary twist.
