The brand new single from legendary guitarist Tony Iommi is released today. Entitled ‘Stormwatcher’ it rides on a signature guitar riff from the man who was the driving musical force behind Black Sabbath’s garlanded career.
‘Stormwatcher’ has a maritime theme, based around a ship stuck in a storm, accompanied by a dramatic animated video, bringing the lyrics and imagery of vocalist Jørn Lande to life. “It channels something from within, something real,” Lande explains, describing how the lyrics tell a powerful story about struggles and sorrow as life voyages from birth to death, and beyond. “We are the captain of our own vessel, a ship crashing through unknown and sometimes challenging waters, always navigating forward, steering steady through every storm, driven by dreams of new horizons and longing for something new.”

One of numerous highlights from the remarkable album, From The Dark, ‘Stormwatcher’ perfectly captures the dark atmospheres and yearning passions that permeate the record. Tony Iommi is joined throughout by 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, it is an outstanding album that sits proudly within the impressive Iommi catalogue.
