TONY MARTIN – Thorns (2022)

After 15 years of silence, TONY MARTIN roars back with a fiery new album titled “Thorns“, a melodic, powerful and thought provoking record, of course focused in his impressive voice and at the same time the killer riffs of Scott McClellan (who helped co-write the album), a guitarist new to the rock world scene but after first listen a guy who has proved to be a worthy partner in crime for this release.
The album feature some renowned musicians as well; drummer Danny Needham (Venom), bassist Greg Smith (Alice Cooper, Rainbow, Blue Öyster Cult) and Swede Magnus Rosen (Joe Lynn Turner, HammerFall, Billionaires Boys Club) who also previously played bass in Martin’s live band, Tony Martin’s Headless Cross.
”Thorns” shows that Tony Martin still has the voice, and the songwriting skills that made him a force in ’80s Black Sabbath…
