Fused is the second solo album by Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, originally released in 2005. The album also features vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes and drummer Kenny Aronoff. The official release of '1996 The Dep Sessions' in 2004 proved to be a catalyst for Tony and Glenn, who rekindled their collaboration and within a year, released what would be Iommi's third solo album in 2005. Titled 'Fused', the album was recorded at Monnow Valley Studios in Wales and saw Iommi sounding heavier than ever. The album is chock full of stomping, grinding riffs that saw Iommi tipping his hat to the metal genre he had helped spawn decades before. 'Fused' sounded completely modern for what was happening in heavy music at the time and still stands the test of time today. Once again, Glenn's vocals glided effortlessly over Iommi's earth-shattering six string attack. Produced, engineered and mixed by American record producer Bob Marlette (whose credits include everyone from Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper to Sheryl Crow), the album was a success and reached number 34 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers Chart. 'Fused' is now reissued for the first time on Translucent Cobalt Blue vinyl and includes three bonus tracks. In addition to being an active session musician, Hughes also maintains a notable solo career. He currently fronts the supergroup Black Country Communion, and fronted California Breed from 2013 to 2015 and The Dead Daisies from 2019 to 2023. In 2016, Hughes was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Deep Purple. Tony Iommi's legendary status is assured and he continues to record new music to this day, always pushing the bounderies and staying ahead of the pack. It's only right that these fantastic recordings from his solo years are being cut to wax for the first time for new and old fans to enjoy as well as new digisleeve CD and digital editions.
