Tony Iommi - From the Dark (2026)
Best tracks: Beyond The Dead / Over The Violent Sun
Iommi’s guitar work is instantly recognizable, calling to mind the era with Tony Martin. It’s great to see that Jørn Lande is doing well; while his voice has grown quite raspy, he has also gained a greater range of emotional expression.
"Black Times" features that signature, shifting dynamic.
In "World Alone," Jørn’s melodic sensibilities really shine through, and by the time we reach "Behind the Dead," it’s clear that the two artists have achieved a true collaboration. Both possess a knack for heavy, melodic songwriting and a narrative-driven style. While these may not be chart-topping hits, the album feels remarkably cohesive—if you’re a fan of Black Sabbath, you’ll find constant enjoyment here.
Rating: ★★★★★★★★★★ 3.8 / 5
