Black Label Society's 'Engines of Demolition': A Tribute to Ozzy

On March 24th, Black Label Society has released their 12th studio album,

Engines of Demolition.

Frontman Zach Wilde delivers the hard-rocking riffs,

bluesy grooves, and soulful ballads fans expect after nearly 30 years.

The standout track is a heartfelt tribute to his longtime friend Ann Banney,

the late Ozzy Osborne, who passed away last July at age 76.

Wilde wrote and recorded the album over the past four years,

squeezing in sessions between his stints on Pantera reunion tours.

The line-up features guitarist Dario Lorena,

bassist John DeServio, and drummer Jeff Fab.

They drop four singles in the last 18 months to build hype,

including the brooding name and blood and the anthemic Lord Humongous.

Fans and critics are praising the album's energy and emotional depth.

It appeals to lovers of heavy metal, biker rock, and killer guitar solos,

with tracks that mix heavy chugs, catchy choruses, and even some country,

tinges, long-time listeners say it captures what makes the band special.

Highlights include riff-heavy songs like Pedal to the Floor,

and Gatherer of Souls, plus haunting melodies on above and below.

A few lighter moments keep things varied,

though most tracks stay true to their high octane roots.

Overall, it's earning four stars for delivering that alive feeling wild chases.

This new release keeps Black Label Society's fire burning strong

for old fans and newcomers alike.
