Tony Iommi, the iconic guitarist and founding member of Black Sabbath, is once again making headlines as he teases new musical projects while reflecting on his decades-long career that shaped the landscape of heavy metal.
In a recent interview, the riff master revealed that he has been working on fresh material, much to the delight of fans worldwide. “I’m always writing,” Iommi shared. “Music is in my blood, and I can’t just sit idle.” While he remained tight-lipped about the specifics, Iommi hinted that his upcoming work will stay true to his signature sound while exploring new creative directions.
The 75-year-old musician also spoke about Black Sabbath’s enduring legacy. “When we started, we didn’t set out to create a genre,” Iommi said, reflecting on the band’s early days. “We just wanted to make powerful music that resonated with us, and it’s incredible to see how it’s influenced so many over the years.”
Black Sabbath, often credited as pioneers of heavy metal, disbanded after their farewell tour in 2017, but their impact on the genre remains unmatched. Iommi has since focused on solo work, collaborations, and occasional projects, including a memorable performance at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, where he reunited with Ozzy Osbourne to celebrate their hometown.
Despite health challenges in recent years, including a battle with lymphoma, Iommi’s passion for music has never wavered. “Every day is a gift, and I channel that into my music,” he said.
Fans are eagerly awaiting more updates about his new music, with many speculating that it could feature collaborations with some of rock’s biggest names. For now, the godfather of heavy metal continues to inspire both seasoned and upcoming musicians, proving that his legacy is as immortal as the riffs he’s created.
