More than two decades after his last proper solo effort, Fused, longtime Black Sabbath<\/a> guitarist Tony Iommi has announced From the Dark. He co-wrote the album with Norwegian metal singer J\u00f8rn Lande, co-produced it with frequent collaborator Mike Exeter, and recruited Queen\u2019s Brian May for a guest solo on \u201cDeath Wake.\u201d It\u2019s out October 23 on BMG. Check out the music video for first single \u201cWorld Alone\u201d below.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s an album we’ve really enjoyed making,\u201d Iommi said in a statement. \u201cWe’re not trying to prove anything.\u201d Alongside the announcement, the guitarist also spoke to Rolling Stone about the record as well as the life without Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s been really strange,\u201d he said<\/a>. \u201cI still don\u2019t feel like he\u2019s gone because when I look on YouTube or whatever, there\u2019s something to do with Ozzy, and I see him again and again. It\u2019s almost like he\u2019s still here. It\u2019s really peculiar. Only, we were in touch so many times. That\u2019s what I miss.\u201d<\/p>\n
