Album Description
Tony Iommi unleashes his fiercest solo outing yet
with the aid of legendary vocalist Glenn Hughes
(Black Sabbath, Deep Purple). FUSED combines classic
blues rock vocal stylings with the famous metallic
crunch of Iommi’s signature Gibson SG guitar
- the guitar sound that has come to define heavy
metal.
Joining Iommi on Fused is former Deep Purple vocalist/bass
guitarist Glenn Hughes and former John Mellencamp
drummer Kenny Aronoff, who has also played sessions
with the likes of the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan,
Rod Stewart, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, Lynyrd Skynyrd
and countless others. Fused was produced by Bob Marlette,
who also manned the studio boards for 'Iommi.'
Iommi and Hughes tend to write quickly when they
settle in. Once the basic song ideas were written
for this new album, Hughes worked on overall melodies
and lyrics. The songs were in place, but a drummer
was needed to tie it all together. Iommi was eager
to work with Aronoff again and had him in mind
from the beginning. The highly respected skins-basher
was thrilled about the invitation, especially when
Iommi said he wanted to tour to promote Fused.
