{Detailed bio}
Tony Martin is a multi-instrumentalist who has mainly recorded as a vocalist, but also happens to be a capable player on guitar, bass, drums, violin, harmonica, and allegedly several other instruments including keyboards, bagpipes, and pan pipes. He is best known for having been the singer for Black Sabbath on-and-off from 1987-1997, but following his departure from that band also has had a pretty extensive career appearing in a variety of other bands. Though many of these bands have unfortunately gotten less public attention than his work with Sabbath, Martin has displayed some excellent vocals throughout his discography - frequently featuring some very tasteful singing in the upper fourth and lower fifth octave on just about every album he's recorded. However, despite his powerful high range, he can also be a surprisingly reserved with his range in some ways, as he rarely surpasses E5 on most of his discography, and does little in the ways of low singing (usually bottoming out in the lower third octave, with very occasional second octave notes). Martin very much focuses on quality over quantity when it comes to range spans, but also makes for some very tasteful singing with this approach, with super high notes only selectively chosen for the best moments!

From what I've been able to find online, it seems that Martin began his career sometime in the mid 1980s, with The Alliance serving as the first band that he recorded published demos with. In 1986 he briefly joined the band Tobruk as well, but the only song that amounted from this was the demo "It's Murder". In 1987, however, he came into the starlight when he was hired to join Black Sabbath as their new vocalist, replacing their previous vocalist Ray Gillen, who had just quit on short notice. Prior to Gillen's departure from the band, he had already written lyrics and vocal parts for their next album, and had recorded demo vocals for it, but guitarist Tony Iommi did not want to use these recordings for the final album. As a result, Martin was faced with the daunting task of learning and memorizing all of Gillen's vocal parts over the span of ten days, and then coming into the studio to record them himself. The end product of this was Black Sabbath's 1987 album The Eternal Idol, which I must say Martin did a particularly impressive job on, given the circumstances! Following this, he embarked on his first tour with Black Sabbath, for which he was faced with another demanding task, as he was required to perform material from the Ozzy Osbourne era of the band, the Ronnie James Dio era, the Ray Gillen era, and even the occasional song from the Glenn Hughes era (as can be heard in this 1990 performance of "Heart Like a Wheel"). Despite the challenging nature of this role, Martin made an admirable feat performing all of these singers' different styles to the best of his ability. The only one whose parts he particularly struggled to recreate was Ronnie James Dio, as he had to lower the melodies of several parts of different songs from Dio's tenure in the band, such as "Neon Knights" and "Die Young".

In 1989, Martin released his second album with Black Sabbath, entitled Headless Cross, which served as his first time writing his own vocal parts in the band. This album featured what I would consider some of his best vocals to date, and demonstrated some of his highest notes ever recorded, such as the backing G5s in the title track and the epic F♯5 in "Devil & Daughter". Unfortunately, this album was released during a time when Sabbath was receiving less public attention, and received significantly less recognition than it deserved, in my opinion. This continued to be the case for Martin's next album with the band, 1990's Tyr,as well, which perhaps influenced Iommi's subsequent decision to fire him when faced with the opportunity to reunite with Ronnie James Dio as their vocalist in 1991. As a result, Martin went on to pursue a number of other endeavors in the following years, such as working with Serbian guitarist Misha Calvin and recording vocals on his 1993 album Evolution. Martin also wrote and recorded his first solo album in 1992, entitled Back Where I Belong, which featured a surprising departure from the traditional metal style that he was known for with Black Sabbath, and instead featured a surprisingly pop-oriented musical approach. However, his vocals proved well-suited to this style nonetheless! Martin also collaborated with his former Black Sabbath bandmates Neil Murray and Cozy Powell in the band Cozy Powell's The Hammer, whom he toured with in 1992. This band covering a wide range of songs including Black Sabbath tracks from Martin's first three albums with the band, early Whitesnake songs from Murray and Powell's time in that band, Rainbow songs from the Ronnie James Dio and Graham Bonnet eras, and songs from Martin and Powell's own solo albums. All of this can be heard on a 1992 Ludwigsburg bootleg that has been uploaded to YouTube, and makes for another interesting range of other singers to hear Martin covering!

In 1993, Martin was rehired by Black Sabbath following Dio's second departure from the band, which led to the recording and release of his fourth album with them - 1994's Cross Purposes. This was accompanied by a promotional tour, during which the band recorded a live album simply titled Cross Purposes Live. On these later Black Sabbath albums, Martin's tessitura began to shift incrementally - though he was regularly still singing in a pretty high register overall, he began to focus on the A4-D5 range as his main "money notes" area during this time, as opposed to the earlier albums which featured heavy E♭5 melody singing on many songs, and sometimes higher notes. This would also go on to shape the tessitura he would mainly focus on for the next three decades of his career afterwards. In 1995, Martin recorded one more album with Sabbath, entitled Forbidden, and embarked on a final tour with them later that year. However, at the time, negotiations had already begun to formulate between Iommi and the other founding members of the band for a reunion of the original lineup, which once again resulted in Martin's firing from the band. This came to be his final departure from Black Sabbath, but he has since continued to perform songs from his era of the band on solo tours, and has re-recorded versions of the songs "Jerusalem" and "Anno Mundi" with other projects.

Following his second departure from Sabbath, Martin's career has been somewhat scattered, and has seen him leaping between projects somewhat frequently, but always staying busy and releasing new music in some form. These have included collaborations with various Italian musicians, such as Dorio Mollo in the project The Cage (with whom he has released three albums - The Cage in 1999, The Cage 2 in 2002, and The Third Cage in 2012), Aldo Giuntini in the Giuntini Project (with whom he has released another three albums - Giuntini Project II in 1999, Giuntini Project III in 2006, and Giuntini Project IV in 2006), and the English-Italian band Silver Horses (with whom he released a self-titled album in 2012). In 2001 he reunited with former Black Sabbath bassist Neil Murray and drummer Bobby Rondinelli in a band called Rondinelli (formed by Bobby and his brother Teddy on guitar), and released the album Our Cross - Our Sins with them in 2002. This reunion with Murray in particular led to the two of them collaborating together in several other bands - first in the band Empire, whom Martin joined in 2002 as a replacement for Lance King, and released the albums Trading Souls in 2003 and The Raven Ride in 2006. Martin then also temporarily joined the Whitesnake spinoff group M3, which featured founding Whitesnake members Murray, Micky Moody, and Bernie Marsden, and exclusively played covers of that band's early material. During Martin's time touring with this band, they released the 2003 live album Classic Snake Live, though it has become something of a rare collector's item over the years.

Aside from his extensive list of collaborations and side projects in his post-Sabbath career, Martin has also intermittently continued his solo career, having released his second album Scream in 2005. This album shows the full extent of his multi-instrumentalist abilities, as he recorded bass, drums, and some guitars on most of the album in addition to vocals. On top of that, the title track of the album showcases some of his seldom-heard violin abilities! This has served as his last solo release to date, and he has surprisingly not released any full-length albums since 2013, though he has made an extensive list of guest appearances for other artists during that time. However, there are currently plans for Martin's third solo album, Thorns, to see a release in 2020! Considering that his studio vocals have managed to hold up with excellent quality over the years, I expect that this album will feature more great singing from him, and look forward to hear what else he has in store for us!

Turns out Tony has dropped two new guest appearances this year that I hadn't heard yet! His high range appears to be holding up as well as ever at the age of 64. :smiley:


Lots of strong B♭4s and C5s in this track.


C5s galore in this one, definitely capitalizing on that as a money note.

He's had a new album in the plans since last year that was originally supposed to be released then, but apparently got delayed due to Covid. He's been saying for a while that it'll be released this year instead, but has yet to announce a release date or anything, so I'll be waiting. :time: Glad he's getting some kind of new music out in the meantime though.

I hope he will release a album with Tony Iommi.

[Henny Macc]

Me too! I've heard that they're back in contact again as of late, so that would be awesome if so!

[Zedd Squared]

I'm totally ignorant of almost all of Martin's non-Sabbath work, what would you say his best non-Sabbath performances are? And, for that matter, were there any big stylistic surprises? I know some of his solo work is a lot more rock 'n' roll but idk if that translates to a particularly different vocal style or not.

[Henny Macc]

As far as best performances go, I'd have to think about it a bit, but I would say the range video that I linked in the spoiler would be a good place to start as far as vocal highlights go, since it includes a nice mixture of his Sabbath material and solo/other project material. I'll probably mark some of those as bolds in the note listing at some point, cause it seems like people are more used to that format nowadays and don't really check out range video links as much.

Overall, I would say his vocal style more or less stayed the same in other projects, but it adapted surprisingly well to ones with different styles. For instance, the album he did with Forcefield is a drastic jump away from his other stuff musically, since that one's straight up '80s pop, but his voice still blends surprisingly well with it and creates a kind of Lou Gramm-esque sound when put to that kind of music. Then there's also the live album of Whitesnake covers he did with M3, which is a Whitesnake spinoff group with several of the '70s/early '80s members of that band specialized in playing songs from that era. Turns out Tony's voice works quite well for the kind of bluesy rock style that David Coverdale sang with during that period, though he might've dodged a few of Coverdale's high notes in certain songs (I don't know how high all of the original versions of those songs go, but the highest Tony gets on that album is D5).

As far unexpected stylistic surprises go, one that comes to mind is this bonus track song off his 2005 Scream album. Most of that album is done in a fairly traditional heavy metal style, but this song takes an unlikely jump into nu metal territory all of a sudden:

[Zedd Squared]

lol wow I did NOT expect to hear Tony Martin rap but here we are. Actually he kinda sounds like he's channeling a little Bootsy Collins in the second verse. The song in general has an oddly Limp Bizkit-y vibe which is also not what I'd have expected to happen in his career. It doesn't shock me that he adapted well to an 80s pop scenario though, I'm sure he'd sound very natural belting out St. Elmo's Fire or something lol. Funny he sang Whitesnake songs too because I've seen some of the Martin-era Sabbath naysayers say that Sabbath sounded too much like Whitesnake during the Headless Cross-Tyr era. Not a completely random comparison, but I think they were mostly thinking that because of the production and general 80s vibes because there's still some undeniable Iommi-isms that keep it Sabbath imo.

Were there any non-Sabbath vocal performances that you'd consider in his top 10? Something on the level of Nightwing or Kill in the Spirit World perhaps?

Yeah, that was a complete one-off, unless he decides to do something else in that style on his next solo album, which is supposedly coming out sometime this year, but there haven't been any release dates announced yet. As far as the comparison between Tony Martin era Black Sabbath and Whitesnake goes, I can't say I really see it at all. I mean sure, they did get a bit more '80s with their production and all, but that's about as far as it goes. They were about as comparable to Whitesnake as any other band from that era, going by that logic lol.

Other than that, they did have Neil Murray and Cozy Powell in the band at the same time as Tony, and both of them did also play in Whitesnake, but I'd say they kept their playing Sabbath-y enough that you didn't really get much sound bleedover from Whitesnake in the overall sound.

Here's a guest appearance performance of his from 2016 that I'd actually go as far as to consider his #1 vocal performance - above Sabbath era stuff and everything. It has no lyrics and is just sung on neutral syllables, but the singing is absolutely beautiful. Very delicate and well controlled, and really does some impressive resonance shifts and stuff on notes as high as E5. Definitely was not expecting to find something like this from him that late into his career!

[Henny Macc]

Well I'm certainly excited for this! He sounded great on "Closer to the Stars" on Victims of the Modern Age, so I will gladly welcome Tony's return to Star One. A4s and a B4 in this sample of the song he's on, but I get the impression there'll be something higher in store when the full song drops. :time:

[Henny Macc]

Another new guest appearance by Tony - this one with A♭4s, B♭4s, backing E♭3s, and a really good sustained C5 at 3:14, which seems to be his main money note these days.

Also his new solo album is officially set for release next month, so I look forward to what kinds of goodies he'll have in store for us on that!

[Henny Macc]

New album comes out on Friday I believe, but in the meantime I missed that he released his first single off it last month! Very strong span of E♭3-E♭5 here, and some cool '90s Sabbath influence in the riffs and melodies.

[Henny Macc]

Thorns is officially out, and it's great to hear Tony back in strong form! This was his first full-length album in nine years (the last one being Giuntini Project IV in 2013), and his first solo album since 2005 (that one being Scream). Overall, I really dig this one, and his vocals sound great on it. Some really nice notes in the C5-D5 range on lots of songs, showing that his voice really hasn't aged much even at 64.

Here's another contender for the "stylistic surprises" category from the new album:

I really dig the alternation between the bluesy acoustic sound on the verses and the much heavier metal sound on the choruses. The vocal delivery on the verses actually reminds me of like a slower, darker version of the narration from "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", to the point that I'm wondering if that song may have served as partial inspiration behind this.

Anyway, how low are we hearing those verses getting from 0:18 to 0:54 and 1:21 to 1:57? I'm getting a few A2s and B2s, but probably nothing lower.

[Zedd Squared]

At 0:19 there on "scheme of THIngs" I hear a solid and quite countable G2 personally. I'll definitely have to check out this new album of his some time soon since I'm seeing a lot of good things about it online and more hype about it general than I usually see for Martin's solo releases.

Not sure if you've heard it but if anyone's curious this is a really good live performance of one of the more underrated Headless Cross tunes:

He really nails the Eb5s too which wasn't super common for him to do during the Sabbath era.

[Henny Macc]

You may be right about that G2, though I'm slightly debating whether it might be too short to be worth counting. However...


As I had hoped for based on the Roy Khan version of this song, it does indeed finally grant us some long-awaited range expansion for Tony with a sustained F♯2! Pretty breathy and clearly getting towards the bottom of his range, but I'm glad he went for it instead of changing the melody. Aside from that, there are also some very good sung B2s and A2s in that section earlier on. This now makes 2 for 2 times that Arjen has managed to get Tony to give us some of his best low singing and melodic low range expansion on one of his Star One features!

[Zedd Squared]

Well shit, definitely didn't think an F#2 like that was ever gonna be in the works for Tony! The Closer to the Stars G2 really seemed like a one-off so this is nice to hear, though it probably is about the lowest he can go short of morning voice I'd guess. It's interesting how Arjen chose to give him such a low part since there have been other deeper voiced singers he's had on albums that didn't get notes like that, so maybe this was written for Khan first? Cool stuff either way, though I won't be listening to the full song until a bit later when I get around to my full album listen.

[Henny Macc]

Yeah I'm really glad we finally got that, cause some of the spoken notes in "The Devil Speaks, The Sinner Cries" and "301 A.D. (Sins of Our Fathers)" sounded painfully close to that pitch but were ruled as only countable down to G2. This is also nice because it helps keep the entire parameters of his range really solid and bulletproof, which I'd much prefer over having him be range expanded by an underwhelming spoken passage or something, which is unfortunately the case for far too many singers in his genre.

But yes, based on how that F♯2 sounded, I also agree that this is probably the lowest we can realistically expect to hear him sing. I could maybe see him pulling off an F2 or something in a spoken passage, but unless his voice suddenly drastically lowers in his old age, that's probably about it. It is indeed interesting that Arjen keeps writing these low parts for him despite his lack of demonstration in that range almost anywhere else. At the time when he did "Closer to the Stars" off Victims of the Modern Age, he had literally done zero second octave melody singing in any studio songs prior to that. There were a couple short melodic second octave notes on Empire's Trading Souls album in 2003, but literally everything else was either spoken passages or higher in his low range.

Whatever the reasoning is, it would be cool if Arjen could also write vocal passages like that for some of our other perpetual low note dodgers that he works with!

Tony Martin hits alot of high notes, vocally one of his best shows. hitting the high notes in Devil And Daughter, when death calls and Headless Cross, and a very impressive vocal display on Black Sabbath. check this show out.

[Henny Macc]

Listened through the whole thing, and yeah wow - Tony really was in peak form there! He nails all the E♭5 parts and so forth just as well as he does on the studio versions, and I never expected him to pull off those "Devil & Daughter" G♭5s as successfully as he did there! Not to mention how well he sings the Ozzy and Dio era songs as well - I'd actually go as far as to say his rendition of "Black Sabbath" in that concert may have even been the second-best performance of that song that I've heard by any Sabbath vocalist (with Ian Gillan's still being the record holder for first place).

No additional notes on any of the performances of the songs from Headless Cross, but he does hit some higher notes on some of the Ozzy and Dio era songs than he did on the performances of them that I had notewatched prior to this. "Children of the Sea" has C♯5s on the chorus, "Black Sabbath" has C♯5s, a D♯5, and an E5, "Iron Man" has a B♭4 and some D♭5s, and "Paranoid" has a G♯4, B4s, and a quick C♯5 at the beginning. The tape speed seems to be running a bit fast, but I think I pitched most of those correctly.

Honestly, I wish they could've professionally recorded a show like this for a live album/DVD with him, because the one concert that they did do that for (Cross Purposes Live from 1994) kinda wasn't his best performance. He starts out okay on it, but when they get to "Neon Knights" around the middle he starts to really struggle and has to dodge a bunch of the high notes, and I remember a lot of the rest of the set being downhill from there - particularly when they do "Heaven and Hell", "Symptom of the Universe", and "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath". If they had caught him during a show like this I think it would've represented his abilities as a Black Sabbath frontman much better.

[dehumanizer3001]

I found that on the 1987, 1989 and 1990 shows Martin has alot of great stuff

1987 german shows are great, Essen, West Germany 1987 is the one to check

1989 has alot of good stuff, the early shows are great, Cleveland and Toronto are fantastic and 1989-10-21 Nagoya is a surprising great showing for Martin. he does a great headless cross there. and then you have the Russia pro shot film which is a better video than Cross Purposes live.

1990 has also alot of great stuff, the german part of the tour has his best singing, St. Wendel, Düsseldorf, Osnabruck etc

for 1994 you will find his best "Symptom of the Universe", and "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" on the USA tour, before the Cross Purposes recordings, 1994-02-20 Newport Music Hall Columbus OH is my favorite Martin does pretty damn great, he does a nice scream on "you bastards" maybe the best i've heard him do this song, many will say this is his best show from the tour youtu.be/P9Y3EjKhW7I

I do collect Sabbath bootlegs, if you need reference material let me know

Yeah, I apparently had already checked that Columbus 1994 performance of "Symptom of the Universe", cause I realized shortly after listening that I already had it listed for a C♯5. I don't hear anything too special on the "you bastards!" part of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" in that performance you linked, but I do hear a B4 on "FILL YOUR head all full of lies", which was a note I had heard him dodge in other performances, where he topped at B♭4 for the whole song. So that's something to add at least.

I feel bad for Tony for how they made him sing "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" an entire whole step higher than the studio version on that tour...presumably because Iommi and Geezer didn't feel like swapping out to guitars tuned to C♯ for it. That's already a fairly challenging song to sing in the first place, and making it so that he would've had to sing it up to E♭5 in order to honor the original song melodies was clearly asking too much. I'm not sure if even Ronnie James Dio would've been able to handle that.

Good to know, it's always good to have a bootlegger notewatcher on board! I think I found performances of just about every song from other eras of Sabbath that Tony sang live, but if you notice anything missing feel free to bring it up. I also own the Ozzy thread, so your contributions would be welcome over there as well if you have anything to share.
