KFIX Rock News: Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi Writes Music For “CSI”

Tony Iommi is, of course, the legendary guitarist for Black Sabbath, which still keeps him busy, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have time for side projects.

In a post on his Facebook page, Iommi says he’s returning to the studio, and has recorded a piece for the TV show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

“People have been asking what exactly I’m doing at the moment, well I’m getting back in the studio having tried to make myself rest after the tours,” the statement reads.

“I’m writing, mostly just putting ideas down rather than complete songs. I like to create all sorts of moods with my music and then decide later how they might be used.”

Iommi adds, “One specific piece though is for the CSI TV series that will be aired in the US on November 9th. I was asked if I’d be interested so I had a look at the footage and came up with an idea they seemed to like. It’s not very long but it was different working with images rather than just music, I’d certainly be up for doing more.”

This isn’t the first time Black Sabbath has joined forces with CSI. The band performed their song “End of the Beginning” on the show’s season 13 finale, which aired May 15, 2013.

Iommi and Black Sabbath plan to record their 20th and final album next year, as well as embark on a final tour.
