Jorn Lande is co-writing and singing on Tony Iommi's new album "From the Dark"! We are extremely proud and excited to share these news, and here you can read Jorn Lande's own thoughts and reaction:

"Finally the cat is out of the bag! After nearly 2 years in the making, I'm extremely happy to see my friend Tony's solo album "From the Dark" hitting the stores!

I am extremely proud to have been co-writing and singing on this album! 
Thank you my friend, for the challenge and experience, it is an absolute honour to work with you!  

A big thank you to producer Mike Exeter, for baring over with my pickiness and bringing out the best in me, and to Ben and Ralph Baker for navigating everything brilliantly!

I also want to give praise to our fellow musicians on the album, Becky Baldwin (Mercyful Fate) and Karl Brazil (Robbie Williams), you guys nailed it and better players can't be found! 

All songs are written and composed by the Striking Viking and the most powerful Brummie in existence!

I am humbled and very grateful for having the opportunity to put my mark on this great album, for a rock singer it can't get more significant than this! 

First single and video "World Alone" out now, hope you all like it as much as we do, be prepared to rock!"
