Tony Iommi - 'Beyond The Dead' (official audio)

Are you like me my friend?
Have you been holding back your soul?
As the night wraps the light into its darkness
This quest for paradise
Building our ships to pass the sun
Under the Orion dreamers fly
Is there a place for you and I?

Father time you will see me through
Can I ride with you when all is said?
I wanna be in your vision head,
Gazing through your eyes to be led
I need to see what comes to be the future of mankind
I’ll sell my soul to be awake inside your wheel of time
Beyond the dead

Yes, I’m coming to the dead
Leaving my vessel to be burned
Far away from pain and all the madness
The ashes of my device
Give it to the stormy winds
And let my music play through lives of sadness

Mother Earth I’ll be missing you when
I make it through to the dead
Your children need to take care of you,
Your final word isn’t said
And I’ve survived my war inside,
A treason of the blind
I’ll drink my wine on the wings of time
For the world we leave behind
Beyond the dead

Father Time I’m calling
Can you hear me cry?
Show me signs I’m falling
Is this my last goodbye?

Shadow dancers on a ledge in a swirl
Some falling off the edges of the world
Clouding the brain, phantoms of pain
God is just a silhouette in the rain
On his wings I hover through the after skies
Turning all the pages of the life that’s left behind
Scanning all the changes, things I never knew
In another chapter but I still remember you

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.»
