“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 longtime 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!”

Jorn Lande has commented on his collaboration with Tony Iommi on the BLACK SABBATH guitarist’s upcoming solo album, “From The Dark”.

The Norwegian singer is credited as co-writer on all of the LP’s eight tracks, and is joined on the album by Iommi, drummer Karl Brazil, who has worked with pop icons Robbie Williams and James Blunt, and U.K.-based bassist Becky Baldwin, best known as a recent addition to Danish metal veterans MERCYFUL FATE.
