Tony Iommi will release From The Dark through BMG on October 23, 2026, marking his first solo album since Fused arrived in 2005. The Black Sabbath guitarist introduced the record with \u201cWorld Alone,\u201d a track driven by down-tuned riffs, sharp solos and Norwegian singer J\u00f8rn Lande\u2019s imposing voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The song premiered during a global streaming event held in Birmingham, near the canal bridge dedicated to Black Sabbath on Broad Street. Directed by Ryan Mackfall, its video follows The Believer, a character forced to fight for survival inside a video game set in a dystopian, retrofuturistic world. That struggle extends the song\u2019s themes of isolation and salvation into a hostile visual environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iommi\u2019s return does not rely on his reputation alone. \u201cWorld Alone\u201d retains the weight and low tuning that made his guitar one of heavy metal\u2019s foundations, but it does not attempt to recreate Black Sabbath. The production is cleaner and more contemporary, leaving room for Lande\u2019s dramatic range and a rhythm section that drives the track without burying its central riff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
