Order “ChosenHERE.

Glenn Hughes - CHOSEN

His explosive brand-new single,”My Alibi” is out now, so turn it up LOUD!

Glenn comments on the new song:

My Alibi‘ …from the start of my career, all the way through, to the present moment, I’ve always had a strong desire to write groove-oriented songs. It’s who I am, and I firmly believe that grooves are extremely relevant in all genres of music.

This latest new track release follows the debut of three others from the new album:

Into The Fade

Voice In My Head

Chosen

After a nine year hiatus as a solo artist, GLENN HUGHES is back with “CHOSEN“, his brand-new solo record: an album which presents Glenn in his most hard rockin’ fashion. An explosive record that offers GLENN HUGHES at his absolute best with a state-of-the-art album, both from a songwriting and production standpoint. A truly captivating return!

CHOSEN” Tracklist:

1. Voice In My Head
2. My Alibi
3. Chosen
4. Heal
5. In The Golden
6. The Lost Parade
7. Hot Damn Thing
8. Black Cat Moan
9. Come And Go
10. Into The Fade

Line Up:

GLENN HUGHES – Vocals, Bass
SOREN ANDERSEN – Guitar
ASH SHEEHAN – Drums
BOB FRIDZEMA – Keys

Commenting on the new album, Glenn stated:

Songwriting is deeply personal to me, and I generally write and record when I have something to say. It’s been nine years since I recorded my last solo album, “Resonate”.

While there have been recordings and collaborations with other artists, since 2016, when writing “CHOSEN“, I went back to my life drawing board, writing about the human condition, love, hope, faith and acceptance. I write about how I feel on the inside and not externally. My life is lived from within, in the present moment. It’s an album of soul food, and I’ve never been so grateful, right here, on planet earth. Music is the healer!

This year will also see GLENN HUGHES busy touring across Europe, UK and South America, with “The Chosen Years” tour starting in Zoetermeer, Netherlands, on September 2nd, and ending on November 29th in Bogota, Colombia. For tickets, VIP upgrade and the full list of dates, please see HERE.

Iommi / Hughes – The 1996 DEP Sessions & Fused Rerelease

Iommi / Hughes - The 1996 DEP Sessions - Fused

The two classic Tony Iommi and Glenn Hughes ‘solo’ albums are getting a long overdue reissue – The 1996 DEP Sessions and Fused – both will be available on October 4th on Vinyl, CD and all major streaming platforms.

Glenn comments:

Yes, finally both albums re-released. Really enjoyed working on these with Tony. Great memories from these sessions, And so much fun 🖤

New double A side digital single featuring the tracks ‘Dopamine’ and ‘Resolution Song’, both taken from the Fused album.

New double A side digital single featuring the tracks ‘Gone’ and ‘Saviour of the Real’, taken from the The 1996 DEP Sessions and Fused albums respectively.

TONY IOMMI TO RELEASE SOLO RECORDINGS WITH GLENN HUGHES ON VINYL FOR THE FIRST TIME

‘THE 1996 DEP SESSIONS’ AND THE 2005 ‘FUSED’ ALBUM TO BE RELEASED ON LIMITED COLOURED VINYL, DIGISLEEVE CD AND DIGITAL ON OCTOBER 4TH VIA BMG.

LISTEN TO THE NEW DOUBLE A SIDE SINGLE ‘GONE’ / ‘SAVIOUR OF THE REAL’

AND PRE-ORDER HERE https://tonyiommi.lnk.to/depfusedPR

The relationship between iconic Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi and English musician Glenn Hughes stretches far back into the mid-eighties. Best known for playing bass and performing vocals in the hard rock band Trapeze and in the Mk. III and IV line-ups of Deep Purple, Hughes sang on the 1986 Black Sabbath album ‘Seventh Star’. It was the twelth album from the fabled heavy metal originators and was initially intended to be the first solo release from Iommi, but record company and management pressures led to the album being billed as ‘Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi’. Despite these demands, the album was a commerical success and reached the Top 30 of the English charts. Glenn’s powerful, soulful voice complimented Iommi’s unique guitar style perfectly and even though the eighties was a turbulant time for Black Sabbath, it was clear that Iommi and Hughes would work together again in the future.

That time came in 1996 when Iommi once again collaborated with Hughes for a release that would become known as ‘The 1996 Dep Sessions’, recorded at DEP International Studios in Digbeth, Birmingham. The recordings were demos and were left unfinished due to the original line up of Black Sabbath reforming at the time. However, a bootleg recording known as ‘Eighth Star’ was circulated among fans so in 2004, to combat this, the session was eventually offically released.

After Black Sabbath’s 1995 album Forbidden, the band would go on hiatus. So when Tony and Glenn reunited in 1996 to record together, it was with a renewed creative vigour and ambition to take a step away from the signature Sabbath sound and forge a new direction. The results were a formidable, contemporary take on a classic rock sound with Glenn’s soaring vocals combined effortlessly with Iommi’s monolithic riffs. These eight songs sound as vital as the day they were recorded and are now being pressed on vinyl for the first time in limited Translucent Black Ice colour.

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.
