BLACK LABEL SOCIETY have announced their new album "Engines Of Demolition," arriving February 27 via MNRK Heavy, and unleashed the riff-heavy opening track "Name In Blood." The 15-track album is the band's first full-length since 2021's "Doom Crew Inc." and includes three previously released singles — "Broken And Blind," "The Gallows," and "Lord Humungus" — as well as "Ozzy's Song," described by Zakk Wylde as "the most personally profound and heartfelt ballad" he has ever written, dedicated to the man who gave him his start.
Wylde began writing the album in 2022 during his Pantera Celebration World Tour, channeling the energy of those massive arena shows into a batch of songs that feel both arena-ready and deeply personal. "Name In Blood" opens with a thundering, down-tuned riff that immediately recalls the crushing tone of BLACK LABEL SOCIETY's heaviest work, before erupting into a galloping verse driven by Wylde's unmistakable pinch harmonics and John DeServio's grinding bass. The track builds to a soaring chorus that balances melody with brute force — a signature BLS dynamic that has defined the band across their two-decade career.
Production duties were handled by Wylde himself alongside engineer Mike Plotnikoff, who captured the sessions at Wylde's Black Vatican home studio in Los Angeles. The result is a record that sounds massive yet intimate, with each instrument occupying its own space in a dense but transparent mix. Wylde has described "Engines Of Demolition" as an album about perseverance and brotherhood, themes that resonate throughout the tracklist. A North American tour with ZAKK SABBATH launches February 27 in San Antonio, running through mid-May with stops at legendary venues including the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
