About

Black Label Society is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1998 by guitarist and vocalist Zakk Wylde, best known as Ozzy Osbourne's longtime lead guitarist. The band blends crushing riffs with blues-soaked grooves and the occasional raw ballad, and has released twelve studio albums over more than 25 years. Albums like 'Order of the Black' (2010) and 'Catacombs of the Black Vatican' (2014) both cracked the top five on the US hard rock charts, cementing BLS as one of heavy metal's most durable acts.
