Artist : Black Label Society Country : USA Release : Catacombs Of The Black Vatican [Japan Edition] & [Limited Edition] Year : 2014 Genre : Heavy Metal File Type : mp3 320 Info:Catacombs of the Black Vatican will stand as an enduring testament to Black Label Society
s sheer force of will and mastery of each and every musical
neighborhood the hard rock titans choose to stomp through. The
aggressive bite of the barnstorming BLS banger Damn the Flood sits
comfortably right alongside the stripped down, emotionally searing Angel
of Mercy, Scars and Shades of Gray. The album s opening tracks, Fields
of Unforgiveness and lead single My Dying Time, drop the throttle into
swampy, down-tempo menace that wouldn t sound out of place in a Classic
Rock band s catalog nor at the creative height of the grunge era.
There
s a beauty in caveman like simplicity, in the
break-bottles-and-break-necks gusto of a loud power chord. To many
listeners, Wylde invented pinch harmonics every bit as much as Chuck
Berry s dreamt up the duck walk. When the Guitar Hero franchise was all
the rage, Wylde was a playable character in the game.
Every time you
re going to make a new record, it s exciting, he says of the run-up to
the creation of Catacombs of the Black Vatican. When you re in the
studio you can approach it like Salvador Dali where you ve got a blank
canvas in front of you. You can paint a little bit, sit back and look at
it and go, Oh man, let s add a little more red over here, let s make
this darker over there. Because live? It s a free-for-all. People are
bleeding. There s fire going on. You re getting attacked by grizzly
bears...

Artist : Black Label Society Country : USA Release : 1919 Eternal Year : 2002 Genre : Heavy Metal File Type : mp3 320 Info:
One of Black Label Society's most straightforward metal albums (at
least one in a trilogy of them, along with STRONGER THAN DEATH and THE
BLESSED HELLRIDE), this features some of Zakk Wylde's best metal work.
After a few noise effects and a strangely brutal howl, a fairly fast,
rumbling riff smashes in with the intensity of a derailed train on
"Bleed for Me," one of the most memorable songs in Black Label Society's
(and Zakk's) career.
Black Label Society is one of the ultimate
metal outfits I have ever heard; they (and by "they," I mean Zakk and
whomever else he hires as extra help) can do it all. There are the
fast-paced, riff-based juggernauts like "Bleed for Me," "Lords of
Destruction," "Demise of Sanity," and "Battering Ram." Songs like "Life,
Birth, Blood, Doom," "Graveyard Disciples," "Refuse to Bow Down," and
"Berserkers" carry Zakk's signature chugging, lock-step rhythms. Then
there's a couple ballads/semi-ballads, including "Bridge to Cross,"
"Lost Heaven," and the absolutely amazing acoustic instrumental "America
the Beautiful," which is to this day my favorite of Zakk's quieter
pieces.
Artist : Black Label Society Country : USA Release : The Blessed Hellride [Japan Edition] Year : 2003 Genre : Heavy Metal File Type : mp3 320 Info:
The Blessed Hellride carries on the tradition, but in a whole new way.
It is by far Zakk's most diverse album as far as styles go. He opens it
up with Stoned and Drunk, a classic-style hardcore rock anthem, and by
the end puts you out with the slow and creepy Dead Meadow (piano
included).
Standout tracks include: Doomsday Jesus, a revisit to 1919
days, as well as Suffering Overdue, which displays Zakk's low-tune
tradition. Blackened Waters is a slower, ballad-type song with a killer
solo, while the title track is the only acoustic song (still extremely
awesome).
In closing, if you want a CD that has ripping, intricate
guitar work, get this CD. If you want deep, well-written songs, get it.
If you like Skulls, Rotweillers, and Chains...

Artist : Black Label Society Country : USA Release : Skullage Year : 2009 Genre : Heavy Metal File Type : mp3 320 Info:
2009 compilation from the Rock guitarist . Black Label Society, is the
brainchild of guitar great Zakk Wylde. Hard and heavy, big on riffs and
even bigger on the solos, BLS is the bastard child of Black Sabbath
only pumped up on steroids. Having graced the world's stages for the
last 18 years, both as Ozzy Osborne's right hand man as well as fronting
BLS, Zakk Wylde has established himself as one of the few remaining
guitar heroes. Skullage represents a look at the history of Black Label
Society through album tracks, fan favorites and four live acoustic cuts.
