New Tony Iommi Album

During a question-and-answer session at the 2025 Steel City Con, which was held December 5-7, 2025 in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, legendary BLACK SABBATH bassist Geezer Butler was asked if there is a possibility of him collaborating in the future on new music with either one of the two other living members of the original SABBATH lineup, guitarist Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward. Geezer responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I was actually gonna do some… Tony's got this great album that he is doing right at the moment. He's just in the process — I think he's in the process of mixing it right now, so it should be out sometime [in 2026]. He's got this great singer from Sweden on it. And he wanted me to do three bass tracks, but he wanted me to do them in England, and I can't go to England until June [of 2026]. So if he can hang on that long, I might collaborate with him back in June, if he can wait that long."

Late last month, Iommi shared a year-end video message in which he said that he will "definitely, definitely" release his new solo album in 2026. "I'm really looking forward to that," he said. "I'm enjoying doing it, and it's been great fun, and I really hope you enjoy it."

Tony previously talked about his long-awaited new solo album during a July 2025 appearance on SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk". He said at the time: " 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 next week 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."
