Hard rock legends BLACK LABEL SOCIETY,
fronted by guitar icon ZAKK WYLDE, have announced the Unblackened tour.
Originally performed as a one night only concert at Club Nokia in Los Angeles
for a live CD/DVD release
two years ago, the show will now make its way across the U.S. The show
will feature intimate versions of some of the band’s most popular songs, as
well as songs from Wylde’s best-selling solo album Book of Shadows &
his Southern rock band Pride & Glory. “I always wanted to take
Unblackened on the road, we just didn’t have the time until now,” said
Wylde. “You can take a song that you’ve played thousands of times and
rearrange it, and all of a sudden it’s something totally fresh. The attitude of
the songs doesn’t change when we play them acoustically–the tunes are gritty
regardless.”
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY has
been on the road constantly in support of their latest release Catacombs of
the Black Vatican. The band recently wrapped up a block of successful tour
dates with HATEBREED and BUTCHER BABIES which took them across
the States and Canada, followed by an electric performance at the 2015 annual SHIPROCKED
CRUISE. Rocking on the high seas is nothing new for BLS as they have also
participated in the inaugural MOTORBOAT CRUISE just last year.
Catacombs of the Black Vatican was
released on April 8th, 2014 and debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200
Chart and #1 on the Rock and Independent Charts. The chart topping LP was
also hailed as one of the "Best Albums of 2014" by REVOLVER
MAGAZINE. The new effort has accumulated critical praise with
outlets like LOUDWIRE declaring
"Wylde’s guitar playing has always been at an extremely high level, but
the instrument that’s improved steadily over the years is his voice." New
Jersey's AQUARIAN WEEKLY states,
"This is Black Label Society at its finest!"
With cover appearances on the likes of both Guitar Player and Guitar World magazines and a first ever TV performance on Late Night with Seth Meyers following the release of Catacombs Of The Black Vatican, the presence of the band has dug itself deeper into the history of modern day rock music.
