Former BLACK SABBATH Singer Offers New Solo Album Update

November 15, 2004

BLACK SABBATH fan site Black-Sabbath.com has posted the following message from former SABBATH singer Tony Martin regarding his upcoming solo album:

"Yes, there will be a new album, but I'm doing it as a personal release. Geoff Nicholls plays on it and he suggested a limited first edition, so the first release of it will only be 2,000 copies, then early next year I'll add a couple more or different tracks and release it in bigger numbers. Just want to get something out of my own and it's driving me nuts!!!

"It's made up of tracks that I wrote and played with Geoff and Cozy and my sons and a few others but mostly by me. The problem with that, as you know, is my styles really vary! From 'Back Where I Belong' [Martin's first solo album] eg to SABS, and that makes it difficult for companies to take it on, so I'm takin the risk myself and hopin that some people will find some of it inspirational!

"I get the feelin that there's a lot of good stuff on it. Mostly people that have heard bits of it have good things to say but I'll have to wait n see.

"Each track is quite unique but overall it has a SABBATH sound to it, traditional and some of my years are woven in to it.

"Best thing is to keep an eye on my site and as things happen I'll post it up. Was hopin to get it done by Xmas but I can't see me doin it, who knows.

"The worst part of self-release is the 'up in the air' kind of feelin .... wish it would go away! But then I gotta go through this to find out. So.... Bring it on!"

Songtitles set to appear on the upcoming CD include "Bitter Sweet", "Field of Lies", "Wherever you Go" and "Unbearable".
