On 29th July, founding member of Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi announced his brand-new studio album, From The Dark and premiered the first single from it, ‘World Alone’ to critical and fan acclaim.
Racking up 2.5 million streams and heavy global radio playlisting since its release, ‘World Alone’ is a thunderous rock song that speeds along on a barrage of flying guitar riffs and solos, backed by a driving rhythm section and topped off with the powerful rock operatics of acclaimed Norwegian vocalist Jorn Lande.
This limited edition 7″ single edition of ‘World Alone’ is out today and has an exclusive instrumental version on the B-side and is packaged in a deluxe, foiled sleeve.
The video for ‘World Alone’ is based around a retrofuture, dystopian universe where the lead protagonist, The Believer, is pitched into a twisted video game to save his life and ultimately find salvation. Tony has now released a behind the scenes film, pulling back the curtain on how this extraordinary video was made.
From The Dark sees Tony Iommi joined throughout by Jorn Lande, who shares writing credits on all songs, as well as bassist Becky Baldwin and drummer Karl Brazil. Co-produced by Tony and Mike Exeter, his long-time creative partner, co-writer, producer and audio engineer, the sound is crystalline, vibrant and enormous, engulfing the listener in a state-of-the-art sonic experience that is as contemporary as it is timeless.
