Legendary Black Sabbath guitarist, Tony Iommi, has just released a new song. It is called “Scent of Dark” and it is a doomy, shadowy heavy rock tune, the first rock song of Iommi, since Black Sabbath’s “13” album in 2013.
Iommi has announced that he will also release a fragrance, designed in collaboration with luxury Italian perfume house Xerjoff and Sergio Momo.
Written by Iommi, “Scent Of Dark” features Tony alongside Momo on guitar, Jimmy Crutchley on bass, Ash Sheehan on drums, Rebecca Rose on cello and Julianne Bourne on the violin. “I’ve had the riff for quite a while and I’d never done anything with it,” Iommi commented, “but it gave us a base to start from. We built up the track with programmed drums at first and then Mike Exeter demoed bass and keyboards on it, and I added my guitar solos, just to give us an idea of how it was going to sound. Then we added the strings. I’d worked with string sections on Sabbath albums before, but this was a whole new experience.”
