BMG Records has announced the worldwide release of the brand-new album from legendary guitarist Tony Iommi, entitled From The Dark, heralded by the first single “World Alone,” which received its premiere today at a special global streaming event hosted in Iommi‘s hometown of Birmingham, England, a stone’s throw from the famous Black Sabbath Bridge across the canal, which was opened as a civic tribute to the iconic band in 2019.

“World Alone” is a thunderous rock song that speeds along on a barrage of flying guitar riffs and solos, backed by a driving rhythm section and topped off with the powerful rock operatics of acclaimed Norwegian vocalist Jorn Lande. The video is based around a retrofuture, dystopian universe where the lead protagonist, The Believer, is pitched into a twisted video game to save his life and ultimately find salvation. Watch the video below.

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.

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.

From The Dark will be available in several deluxe vinyl and CD formats. Pre-order it here.
