Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi reflected on 2022 and talked about what's upcoming in an end-of-the-year video.
Among his 2022 highlights were releasing the two Ronnie James Dio-era Sabbath albums -- Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules, performing at the Commonwealth Games with Ozzy Osbourne, and writing two songs for Ozzy's latest album, Patient Number 9.
As for what's upcoming, he says, "I've been writing and recording. I'm having a new studio built... In another couple of weeks I think I'll be ready to go in and start work in there, which I'm really looking forward to -- writing another album."
He also has an archival album on the way, a box set of Sabbath material from the lineup with singer Tony Martin, drummer Cozy Powell and bassist Neil Murray. "I'm looking forward to that, because a lot of people have asked about that, which is great... You can't just bring everything out together; it has to come out in [the right] times. So we've had all the original Sabbath box sets, and then we've got the Ronnie [James Dio] stuff. And then the next thing will be the Tony Martin and then my solo stuff. So it's gonna be busy again. But it's great."
