Review by Paul Monkhouse for MPM
The Lord of the Riff is back. Unleashing the first track of his forthcoming new solo album ‘From The Dark’, Tony Iommi brings all the magic that he’s built his legendary career on and ‘World Alone’ is a thrilling and heavy slice of crushing, premium class metal.
Thick with atmosphere, ‘World Alone’ is an epic bit of storytelling that promises much, much more to come, the guitarist bringing the extraordinary vocals of Norway’s very own Jørn Lande, along with powerhouse rhythm section Becky Baldwin on bass and drummer Karl Brazil, along with keys player Mike Exeter.
Kicking off with a riff that could flatten city blocks, Lande’s distinctive voice starts to weave the spellbound tale, full of power and threat, the whole a mix so heady as to make it impossible but to just be drawn into their world. Echoes of Heaven & Hell era Sabbath but with a dirtier, harder modern edge, this is all you could have hoped for and more.
His first solo release for twenty-one years, ‘World Alone’ is an untouchable testament to the power of Heavy Metal and the man who invented it. Turn it up loud.
