VENOM INC. frontman Tony “Demolition Man” Dolan took the lockdown to record a tribute to Black Sabbath. He gathered the likes of Marty Friedman, Mantas, Rasmus Bom Anderson (Diamond Head),  John Gallagher (Raven), Terence Hobbs (Suffocation), Snowy Shaw (Dream Evil/Mercyful Fate etc), Sonia Nusselder (Crypta/Cobra Spell ex Burning Witches), James Murphy (Disincarnate, ex Death/Testament / Obituary), Russ Tippins (Satan), Attila Vörös (Leander Rising, ex Týr / Nevermore / Satyricon), Marc Jackson (Acid Reign, ex M:Pire of Evil) and many more for ‘L’Uomo Di Ferro – A Tribute To Black Sabbath’. All contributions testify of the influence Black Sabbath has had on the participating musicians.

Tony Dolan states: “Christmas Eve 2020 brings to an end one extraordinary year for us all…Therefore to do something positive and showing the amazing talent and strength of our metal community across the globe..I’m presenting you…from Brazil to Japan..USA to Europe..our metal guests joining me with our ‘Tribute to Black Sabbath’ in our own styles, but together and with our greatest respect for their amazing songs but even more their influence on us all..”

All funds raised will go to front line covid workers in Italy. The album will be released in February 2021 digitally and followed by vinyl/CD versions.
