Iommi/Hughes - Fused (2005)

I was pleasantly surprised by the recent Black Country Communion album. You know, the -ahem- new supergroup.
As I've always liked bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes from way back when he started out with Trapeze I decided to have a look around. And came up with this little gem:

Now Glenn already sang on the Sabs' album Seventh Star, truth be told a Tony Iommi solo effort in all but the name.
Both also worked together before on the aborted 1996 DEP sessions which finally saw a release in 2009.
Both gentlemen decided to record a proper record and that's what became Fused.

Don't expect pure Black Sabbath here. Hughes voice is just too strong for that. Although the über riffmeister Iommi is in full swing  and creates some monster riffs, there are actually a couple melodic songs here.
Highlights certainly are Wasted Again, What You're Living For and Grace.
Fused may be considered by many as a little side project but if you like your music heavy and metal here's a nice surprise in this little known album.
