Tony Iommi revealed through a short video from his 2022 retrospective that he intends to work on a new studio album for 2023. The musician's last solo project was a collaboration on Ozzy Osbourne Patient Number 9 (2022) , on the track " Degradation Rules ".
“2022 was a good year. I wrote and recorded a lot of things. I'm building a new studio, which makes me very happy. Well, actually, the studio is almost ready, I'm just waiting for some equipment. So, in a few more weeks, I'll be ready to start working there, which makes me very eager to write a new album.”.
“In 2023, we’ll have the Tony Martin and Cozy Powell and Neil Murray . I’m looking forward to that, too, because a lot of people have asked me for it, which is great. So, the next step will be the Tony Martin era box set; then my solo material. I’ll be very busy, and that’s great,” said the Black Sabbath (transcription via RockBizz ).
At the end of 2021, Tony Iommi had already commented that he had a lot of material stored on his phone and couldn't wait to start focusing on it in the studio.
