Heavy metal architect Tony Iommi has debuted a second single off of his forthcoming album “From The Dark“. The Black Sabbath guitarist has newly shared the track “Stormwatcher” online, with the below animated music video for it having been overseen by Daniel Gray.
Iommi assembled a proverbial backing band to join him on this record, with vocalist Jørn Lande (Masterplan, Jorn, etc.), bassist Becky Baldwin (Mercyful Fate, etc.), and drummer Karl Brazil (Robbie William, Feeder, etc.) helping flesh out the tracks.
Lande went on to say the following about the maritime themes that influenced this latest cut:
“It channels something from within, something real… We are the captain of our own vessel, a ship crashing through unknown and sometimes challenging waters, always navigating forward, steering steady through every storm, driven by dreams of new horizons and longing for something new.”
“From The Dark” is on course for an October 23rd release date. In other Iommi-related news, the man himself has just received his MBE at Windsor Castle. That honor was bestowed upon him today, September 30th, signifying his recognition as a Member of the Order of the British Empire. That title was given to him in honor of his services to the arts and charity. You can see him showing off that award below:
