[Interview] Zakk Wylde talks Black Label Society’s ‘Doom Crew Inc’ and new Ozzy album

Black Label Society have recently released their 11th studio album, Doom Crew Inc., out now via Spinefarm.

Fronted by legendary guitarist and frontman Zakk Wylde, The 12-track album is both a tribute to the band’s “first to bleed, last to leave” road crew and a salute to the legion whose support, stretching back to 1998, rivals that of the KISS Army. The stomping, heavy, bluesy, recklessly unhinged hard-rock-metal quartet are part invading horde, and part traveling carnival – summoning caffeine-fueled cacophony on records and the stage.

The Everblack Podcast caught up with the one and only Zakk Wylde to talk about the crushing new album ‘Doom Crew Inc’, His approach to writing some of the heaviest riffs on the record, the moving new version of ‘Love Reign Down’, their massive recent tour in the states, who He thinks should play him in a movie as well as news about the new Ozzy record!

Watch/listen to the interview HERE:

The songs are odes to celebration and mourning, the soundtracks to jubilant evenings and bewildering days recorded in Zakk’s home studio, the Black Vatican. On this album, Zakk trades solos and twin-guitar parts with Dario Lorina, backed by the rumble of long-time bassist John “J.D.” DeServio and powerhouse drummer Jeff Fabb. “We incorporated Father Dario even more into the solos, doubling with me and being more involved in that regard,” said frontman Zakk Wylde. “It really, truly is a two-guitar album, more so than ever. A twin guitar band, whether it’s the Allman Brothers or Judas Priest, with harmony lines, unison lines, and trading off solos. It stemmed from the live shows, where we’d both go into the crowd and extend songs like ‘Fire It Up.’”
