Tony Iommi - 'Return Of The Arbalist' (official audio)

Silent warrior
Find your spirit
In your eyes I see the spark
Secret screamer
Alive the dreamer
Growing fire from the ashes of your sun

Phantom crossroads winding through your mind
Haunting demons in the night
Evil raining over paradise
On the wings of the storm,
You’ve got to hold on and fight

Soon forever
What comes after
Show me bridges from the dark
Mighty father
Remove my armour
Take my sword and let my soul forever run

Aiming crossbows searching in the night
Killing demons for the light
Evil shadow over paradise
In the blackmare of Hell,
They’re ringing the bell of cries

Be the sound of thunder
And the lightning never seen
The road your heart decides
Is never in between

Freedom rivers lead me to your time
Don’t leave me stranded in the night
The Devil watches over paradise
As a promise to man
I’m breaking his web of lies

And the darkness gets colder
I’m taking the burn
With an angel on my shoulder
I’ll make my return

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από 13 έτη (τόσα πέρασαν από τον κύκνειο άσμα των Black Sabbath, το full length album "13") για τον Tony Iommi. "From the Dark" ο τίτλος του νέου του προσωπικού δίσκου και κυκλοφορεί ήδη (από τις 23 Οκτωβρίου 2026) σε cd (με δύο επιπλέον τραγούδια), διπλό βινύλιο και σε ψηφιακή μορφή μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας BMG.

Πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα η συνεργασία του Βρετανού κιθαρίστα με τον τραγουδιστή Jørn Lande (βλ. Beyond Twilight, Ark, Jorn, Masterplan, The Snakes, Brazen Abbot, Allen - Lande κλπ), ενώ συνεισφέρουν επίσης οι Mike Exeter στα πλήκτρα (Judas Priest, Heaven & Hell, Halford κλπ), Becky Baldwin στο μπάσο (Mercyful Fate, Fury) και Karl Brazil (τύμπανα).

Δελτίο τύπου: «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 alongside vocalist, Jorn Lande, drummer Karl Brazil and bassist, Becky Baldwin.»
