Legendary BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi will reveal the first details of his long-in-the-works new solo album during a YouTube livestream on Wednesday, July 29, at 7:30 a.m.

PDT / 10:30 a.m.

EDT / 3:30 p.m.

The livestream will mark the official announcement of the upcoming project, which Iommi has described as a personal endeavor with no pressure, allowing him to create music when he feels inspired.

In a July 2025 appearance on SiriusXM's 'Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk,' Iommi said: 'I was doing my own album until [the 'Back To The Beginning' event] came up, and then, of course, I had to stop and concentrate on [preparing for] the SABBATH [performance].

But I'm continuing on trying to finish off what I started with this album.

And then who knows what I'm gonna do then? It's great, really, 'cause if something pops up, I'll do it, if I want to do it.

So it's a good thing.' Iommi confirmed that the album will feature a vocalist, though he initially considered multiple options.

He stated: 'At the moment, no.

I've got one singer on it at the moment, which I originally thought of different singers.

But it started off as it's gonna be an instrumental album, and it's gone from I've got some instrumental stuff, but then I thought, 'Oh, I wanna try it with a singer.' And so that's what I've been doing.' The new album will be Iommi's third solo release, following 2000's 'Iommi' and 2005's 'Fused.' On 'Fused,' Iommi collaborated with ex-DEEP PURPLE bassist Glenn Hughes and drummer Kenny Aronoff, both of whom he has praised for their energy and chemistry.

In a 2017 interview, Iommi recalled: 'It was like a load of nutters, quite honestly.

We all let loose in the room.

It was just like being kids, because Kenny, you know, he was, like, he's so, like, up, and full of energy, and you've got Glenn [makes crazy sound] and Kenny [makes crazy sound] — bloody hell! It's almost too much, you know, but it worked.' The album will follow a series of earlier musical releases, including the 2024 instrumental track 'Deified,' which featured Mike Exeter on keyboards and production, Laurence Cottle on bass, Karl Brazil of FEEDER and Robbie Williams, and Ben Andrews on orchestrations.

'Scent Of Dark,' released in 2024, was Iommi's first new music in eight years and marked the beginning of a creative collaboration with perfumer Sergio Momo, a guitarist known for his work in the fragrance world.

Iommi previously stated during a June 2024 appearance on Full Metal Jackie's radio show: 'I am writing stuff now for my own, for an album.

So that's exciting too.

And there's no pressure.

I just do stuff when I feel like it, because, obviously, I've got a life to live and I like to do all the different stuff.

But I've really enjoyed doing this stuff, as I did with Ozz [BLACK SABBATH singer Ozzy Osbourne] when I'd done a couple of tracks for his last [solo] album ['Patient Number 9'], which was good, to work with Ozz again.

And I'm quite open for all that now.

Whatever comes, and I like it, I do it.' When asked if he would release a 'proper record' or individual songs, Iommi responded: 'No, I'm gonna do a record.

And I've got a lot of stuff.

But now we're actually getting around to sort of putting it together, myself and the engineer.

So it's been good fun, really.

And as I say, there's no pressure.

I can just do it — I don't have to do it by next week.

And because of everything else [that has] been lurking around, I have to take my time in doing things.

But it's been fun.

And that's what it's all about, really.

And I'm looking forward to actually doing it and an album coming out.'"
