BLACK LABEL SOCIETY will release a new album, “Engines Of Demolition”, on March 27 via MNRK Heavy. The follow-up to 2021’s “Doom Crew Inc.” contains 15 tracks, including the three previously released singles “Broken And Blind”, “The Gallows” and “Lord Humungus” as well as a tune titled “Ozzy’s Song”, which is an apparent tribute to BLACK LABEL SOCIETY guitarist/vocalist Zakk Wylde‘s longtime bandmate, the iconic BLACK SABBATH singer Ozzy Osbourne.

“Engines Of Demolition” track listing:

01. Name In Blood
02. Gatherer Of Souls
03. The Hand Of Tomorrows Grave
04. Better Days & Wiser Times
05. Broken And Blind
06. The Gallows
07. Above & Below
08. Back To Me
09. Lord Humungus
10. Pedal To The Floor
11. Broken Pieces
12. The Stranger
13. Ozzy’s Song

15. Lord Humungus (Unblackened)

Wylde formed BLACK LABEL SOCIETY in 1998 and has kept the band busy in between touring and recording with Ozzy Osbourne, whose backing group he first joined nearly four decades ago.

A charismatic heavy metal marauder recognized worldwide as a living legend, Wylde rose to prominence when Ozzy chose him as his loyal axeman, based on a cassette he mailed in as a teen. Guitar World put Zakk on the magazine’s cover more than a dozen times in recognition of his work on multiplatinum albums by the icon he called “the Boss” and more than two decades of music made by BLS.

BLACK LABEL SOCIETY quickly became a touring juggernaut and has gone on to release nearly a dozen successful studio albums which have sold more than a couple of million copies in total.

BLACK LABEL SOCIETY‘s “Order Of The Black” (2010) and “Catacombs Of The Black Vatican” (2014) both broke into the top five on the hard rock album charts.

Since first joining Ozzy, Zakk had played on all of the BLACK SABBATH singer’s solo albums except for 2020’s “Ordinary Man”, including such classic efforts as “No More Tears” (1991),“Ozzmosis” (1995) and “Black Rain” (2007).

BLACK LABEL SOCIETY is:

Zakk Wylde – vocals, guitar, piano
John “JD” DeServio – bass
Jeff Fabb – drums
Dario Lorina – guitar
