Former BLACK SABBATH Singer TONY MARTIN To Collaborate With BLACK WIDOW's CLIVE JONES

December 9, 2009

Clive Jones of classic U.K. progressive rockers BLACK WIDOW and former BLACK SABBATH singer Tony Martin recently met (see photo below) and are planning to work together soon.

BLACK WIDOW is currently recording its reunion album, "Sleeping With Demons", for a 2010 release. The band's original female vocalist, Kay Garret, has rejoined the group in a studio so her voice will be heard on BLACK WIDOW's music again for the first time since 1969. Jones and Geoff Griffith wrote the entire album with the aid of Paolo "Apollo" Negri on keyboards. One of the songs — "That's When Evil Touched Me" — has lyrics written by a Canadian lyricist Sylvie M. Durette (Sylvie has also written lyrics for the extreme metal band FILE OF GHOSTS). Another track that will appear on the CD, "Partytime For Demons", got its inspiration from Pasi Koivu, a Finnish rock keyboardist and a close friend to the band.

Jones and Koivu celebrated BLACK WIDOW's return by recording "a short horror music thing" called "We Are Back". Jones also gigged as a special guest on PROPAGANDHI's (a Canadian punk/metal act) U.K. tour, making guest appearances during the old BLACK WIDOW classic "Come To The Sabbat".
