DescriptionBlack Label Society - Discography [Flac] Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine In the press material for Sonic Brew, Zakk Wylde calls his new project Black Label Society, a band featuring himself and drummer Phil Ondich, "Alcohol Fueled Brewtality for the Next Millennium." Translated, that means Sonic Brew is a boozy, balls-to-the-wall metallic hard rock album that is unashamed about being a hard rock album. To be blunt, nothing on the record sounds as if it's designed for the year 2000 -- it sounds like classic '80s metal. Wylde isn't a great singer or songwriter, but he can write a riff and drive it into the ground while spitting out furious solos. The thing is, he's so unabashed about his love for this music that it winds up being quite entertaining. Few other albums in 1999 sound like this, and that will be enough for fans of unpretentious, boozy, bloozy hard rock, since they aren't getting much of it at the close of the 20th century. [The 1999 edition includes one bonus track.] Tracks Title Time 1 Bored to Tears 4:29 2 The Rose Petalled Garden 4:55 3 Hey You (Batch of Lies) 3:53 4 Born to Lose 4:23 5 Peddlers of Death 4:34 6 Mother Mary 4:27 7 Beneath the Tree 4:09 8 Low Down 5:05 9 T.A.Z. 1:56 10 Lost My Better Half 4:24 11 Black Pearl 3:28 12 World of Trouble 5:20 13 Spoke in the Wheel 4:14 14 The Beginning... at Last 4:27 15 No More Tears 6:58 Enjoy!

With many rock bands expanding their approach — for better or for worse — on subsequent albums, Stronger Than Death shed the few remaining Southern rock elements that were heard on Sonic Brew (undoubtedly left over from 's Pride & Glory days). The riffs are meaty and the solos are furious, as heard on such tracks as the album-opening "All for You," "Counterfeit God" (which is a song about a subject that seemingly every single metal band has penned a song about — televangelists), and the title track, the latter of which includes a vocal cameo from New York Mets slugger Mike Piazza. Stronger Than Death provided a firm confirmation that Black Label Society would be sticking closely to the guitar-heavy game plan from here on out.

(2001)  Artist: Black Label Society Album: Alcohol Fueled Brewtality Live!! Rating: 3 Stars Release Date: Jan 16, 2001 Label: Eagle Rock Type: Live, Explicit Lyrics Genre: Heavy Metal AMG Album ID: R 513607 Review by Patrick Kennedy Former Ozzy Osbourne axe-slinger Zakk rose to international guitar acclaim for the better part of the 1990s after helping co-author Ozzy's No Rest for the Wicked, No More Tears, and Ozzmosis. From there, formed Pride and Glory, a Southern-fried combo that released a disc and then yielded the hammer and thunder of Black Label Society, whose incorrigible, heavyweight riffs and rhythms are showcased here on the band's completely live, un-overdubbed Alcohol Fueled Brewtality Live!! Most of the material resides somewhere between the chugging, lugubrious redneck metal of Pantera and labelmates Crowbar, and the more Southern approach of latter-day Corrosion of Conformity — in other words, super-heavy, down-tuned riffage. What obviously sets this apart is 's lightning-fast leads and sheer six-string ability. The songs may be little more than basic collections of riffs, and far too often entreats the crowd to "make some f*cking noise!" but this is a testosterone-fueled sound often rejected by the mainstream press and heartily embraced by an aggressive listenership. Black Label Society does this as well as anyone out there, and it's heartening to see four guys on a stage hammering it out, riff by riff, beat by beat. Add 's raw, bluesy baritone — at times reminiscent of Jerry Cantrell or Layne Staley — on top of that, and you've got a hearty meal. The second disc treats the listener to five slightly quieter, somewhat acoustic tunes, including a cover of Neil Young's "Heart of Gold."

Every riff is a meaty, grindy morsel that sticks to your ribs, Zakk 's vocals are either guttural grunting like he's Wino from the Obsessed with a hangover or a pleasant, passive voice like when Phil Anselmo covered "Planet Caravan" (see the dark ballad "Bridge to Cross"), and the rest of the instrumentation is decidedly secondary to the cause and effect. The dark feel of the mix causes even the thrashier moments, such as opener "Bleed for Me," that alternates between Ozzy and later-period Metallica, and the self-explanatory "Battering Ram," to seem sluggish, like they're sinking in quicksand. With the majority of the disc residing in mid-tempo-land, the sound is akin to running in a dream; you're not getting anywhere very quickly, and eventually you wonder where you were trying to go in the first place. means what he says, whether he's speaking with words or his axe, and such conviction is encouraging. A few gems reside, such as the lively "Genocide Junkies" and "Life/Birth/Blood/Doom," a spooky tune with rhythmically funky bass courtesy of Robert Trujillo that'll get your head nodding and a solo that is to die for, but much of 1919 Eternal sounds like the stuff that didn't make the last couple of Corrosion of Conformity records. And the stuff that was on the COC discs wasn't that great either.
