Black Label Society ‘Doom Crew Inc.’ + “Set You Free”

Led by the legendary Zakk Wylde, west coast heavy metallers Black Label Society have announced their 11th studio album titled ‘Doom Crew Inc.’ which releases on November 26, 2021 through Entertainment One (eOne). The album will be available digitally on CD and vinyl plus a deluxe edition that includes vinyl, CD longbox, cassette and more, pre-order at this location. The band have also dropped their first single dubbed “Set You Free,” which you can check out below in official music video form.

A presser states, “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.”

They add, “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 longtime 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,” comments 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.’”

In addition, Black Label Society are gearing up for North American shows alongside Obituary, Armored Saint, and Prong later this year — see all confirmed gigs below.
