Free Music Notes for IommiFree Music Review: A Triumphant Return ...
The long awaited solo effort from the heavy metal riffmaster Tony Iommi is here at last. And was it ever worth the wait. Not that Tony Iommi had gone anywhere, but in the years before his reunion with the almighty original lineup of Black Sabbath, he didn't exactly enhance his legacy with a string of Black Sabbath albums in the late 80's and early 90's that simply were not up to the lofty standards set by the group's earlier material. Tony Iommi introduced a completely new guitar style tuning lower and playing louder than anyone before him had ever dared. Tony has created some of the most memorable riffs in the history of heavy music. His influence is felt far and wide, as seen by the wide range of performers that appear on Iommi. From the first chord of the first track (which features Henry Rollins on vocals) it is apparent that Tony means business on an album that many people feel is an indicator of the future direction of his career. This album is a showcase for Tony's many talents, including his unquestionable songwriting abilities, as well as his ability to work in guitar solos that add to the song rather than overpower it. Tony does an excellent job of playing to each guest vocalist's stregnths, complimenting their talents rather than overshadowing them. Not being much of a Foo Fighters fan, I expected little from Dave Grohl, but what I found was a very good and inspired performance. Time is Mine, which features Pantera's Phil Anselmo on vocals, shows that Tony is not afraid to update his sound for a new era of music, while staying true true to the qualties that make him a living legend. Who's Fooling Who, which features Ozzy Osbourne(who is, in my opinion the single most influential figure in the history of heavy metal) on vocals and Bill Ward on drums, is an incredible track which shares some similarites with the studio Sabbath material on Reunion, and serves to show how Sabbath might have sounded if they continued to record in the studio after the Reunion tour. Serj Tankian from System of a Down also gives an excellent performance on Patterns, showcasing alot of vocal range and depth. The blending of the styles of the guest vocalists on this album makes the transition between tracks smooth, led by Tony's guitar wizardry. I applaud Divine Recordings, a newly created label headed by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne for having confidence in Tony and helping this project come to being. |
