Zakk Wylde recently did the Lipps Service with Scott Lipps podcast and spoke on the new music being created with his band Black Label Society! They’re working on their 12th studio album and the new LP will follow up 2021’s “Doom Crew Inc.”.
Wylde said, “We’ve been recording a batch of stuff while we’re home. I mean, obviously it’s gonna be a lot of — we’re gonna be doing a Pantera celebration (tour) throughout 2025, and then there’s going to be Zakk Sabbath shows peppered in there as well. So I’d imagine somewhere — I don’t know — maybe late 2025, (early) ’26 or whatever, putting out another Black Label album. But I mean, all it does to me, it just gives you more time to just keep writing and listening to stuff and going back and going, ‘No, you know what? Let me put more orange on that as opposed to red,’ where you can actually sit back and look at it and everything like that. ‘Cause usually, most of the time when I do the records, I’ll go in, whether it was ‘Stillborn’, ‘Suicide Messiah’, anything like that, with nothing. I think if you ask any musician, they’ll tell you, when you’re in a recording studio, it’s just a breeding ground for inspiration. Because everything sounds good… Whether you’re sitting with an acoustic guitar, or you’re sitting behind a piano, or you got the big distorted guitars going, the drums sound like cannons. So everything just sounds amazing. And it just is very inspiring.”
If you’ve kept up, the band released a new single, “The Gallows”, this past September. Another ripper.
As you know, Zakk has been touring a ton lately with Pantera – but is still playing shows with Black Label Society. They headlined Zakk’s inaugural music festival, Berzerkus, on September 14, 2024 at Poconos Park in Bushkill, Pennsylvania. Cody Jinks was the co-headliner. Expect that festival to grow and continue over the years.
Wylde’s been banging away with Black Label since 1998. Cool to see him continue to devote time to this cool project.
