We all know that Tony Martin has been a busy man since his departure from Sabbath...
Empire
The Cage
Giuntini Project
Rondinelli
Silver Horses
Great stuff in all of them...But I have to say I've always enjoyed The Cage project with Dario Mollo the most, although Aldo Giuntini is a fantastic guitarist as well and especially Project IV is suberb.
Silver Horses is a strange one, not bad but different...to say the least.

That's a few years ago now, I remember Gianluca putting snippets of a few of the demos out for people to hear (Youtube or Myspace I think?), and I was just stoked for the actual album to come out. I don't know if was just too much time went by or the finished product just wasn't my cup of tea, but I didn't like it as much as the samples I heard.

I want to add his Black project with Andy LaRocque since 2012.
"BLACK, the new project featuring vocalist Tony Martin (BLACK SABBATH), bassist Magnus Rosén (HAMMERFALL), guitarist Andy La Rocque (KING DIAMOND) and drummer Danny "Danté" Needham (VENOM, TONY MARTIN), is mixing its first two songs at La Rocque's Sonic Train studios in Varberg, Sweden.
In an interview with Metal-Rules.com conducted earlier this summer, Andy stated about BLACK: "I talked to Tony just a few days ago and what we're doing right now is, like, he's going to redo some vocals for the first two songs and then we're going to send that out as a demo tape to a different few record companies and see if they might be interested in releasing the stuff."
He continued: "I met Tony about a year and a half ago, in Sweden, Gothenburg, and I invited him and Magnus down to the studio, because I wanted them to check out the few songs that I had and they liked that very much. So we decided to do like a cooperation. So I sent to Tony a few songs that he put vocals on, but he wasn't really happy with that, I believe. So he wanted to do it again, but then he was really busy with this other band THE CAGE, an Italian band. I can't remember the guitarist's name right now, but he was really busy with that, and he was busy with many other things, too. So he didn't really have time back then, and while we were playing at the Sweden Rock [Festival with KING DIAMOND], I kind of almost gave up on BLACK, because I thought nothing is going to happen with that. But then I got in touch with Tony again and he said, 'Hey, Andy, I'm ready now. I'm going to send you two new takes of the first two songs you sent me with some vocals.'"
One of the tracks completed during BLACK's initial writing sessions had the working title of "Deathless Soul" and was previously described by Martin as "very dark." However, the singer was quick to point out, "I don't expect it to be completely in that vein."

Yeah...he posted a lot of stuff on facebook too at the time and I too was pretty excited but it just didn't quite pan out for me either...
Oh yeah Tyr! I remember the talks about the Black project...but sadly that one got buried. Don't really know what happened. I should really ask Tony about that some day...

Going to be doing a Tony Martin collection for my car player and started researching his appearances...and there are quite a few!
Need to see how many of those I can find on youtube... ;D

Doing my research for my radio shows, I see Tony Martin frequently in the early 50s with some mellow crooning hits.
Totally not the same Tony Martin, always check the ingredients on your Tony Martin music! :)
