Fused is the second solo album by Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, released in 2005. The album also features vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes (who briefly fronted Black Sabbath in the mid-1980s, assuming vocal duties on the album Seventh Star – an album that was originally intended to be Iommi's first solo album) and drummer Kenny Aronoff.

The album was recorded in Monnow Valley Studios, Wales in December 2004 and BHM's studio in Warwickshire, England, [2] and was produced, engineered and mixed by Bob Marlette (who also contributed keyboards and bass on the album), with additional production by Tony Iommi. Fused reached number 34 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart. [3]
