Tony Iommi has released his first solo album since 2005's Fused, fifteen months after Black Sabbath's Back To The Beginning show in Birmingham. The album features Jørn Lande, a Norwegian singer, and the lineup includes bassist Becky Baldwin, drummer Karl Brazil and keyboardist Mike Exeter, who also co-produced the album.
The album contains eight songs and runs 41 minutes long. The opener is Over The Violent Sun, described as a pedal-to-the-metal track. Brian May of Queen makes guest lead appearances on Death Wake.
Iommi told Classic Rock that he does not have to do this and that it is not about the money. Becky Baldwin previously played with Mercyful Fate.
Mike Canoe wrote that From The Dark fits well into the greater Sabbath timeline, with cleaner and sharper production. Philip Qvist wrote that Iommi is at age 78 still the riff master.
