Black Label Society, the hard rock powerhouse founded by guitar icon Zakk Wylde, has unleashed a brand-new single titled The Gallows through MNRK Heavy (formerly eOne Music). The song showcases the band’s signature blend of bone-crushing riffs, soulful melodies, and a relentless energy that fans have come to expect. The Gallows is available across all major streaming platforms.
Wylde, renowned for his exceptional guitar prowess and commanding stage presence, continues to make a lasting impact with this latest release. The Gallows captures the dark, brooding essence of Black Label Society‘s catalog while infusing it with a renewed intensity that reflects the band’s evolution. The Gallows embodies the core of Black Label Society — raw power, emotional depth, and a commitment to pure, unfiltered hard rock and roll.
Wylde comments: “Berzerkers!!! Here’s a new Black Label song called The Gallows.
What do you call a fake noodle??? An impasta!!!
See You ALL at the Berzerkus on Saturday September 14th at Poconos Park, PA!!!”
The Gallows exemplifies what Black Label Society fans should expect, blistering guitar solos and lyrics that will spark the heart and soul of the heavy metal community.
Black Label Society will headline Wylde‘s inaugural music festival, Berzerkus, on September 14th at Poconos Park in Bushkill, Pennsylvania. Berzerkus will be co-headlined by outlaw country music’s Cody Jinks. Also scheduled to appear are Clutch, Rival Sons, Black Stone Cherry, ZOSO (the ultimate Led Zeppelin experience),The Atomic Punks (a tribute to early Van Halen) and The Iron Maidens (the world’s only all-female tribute to Iron Maiden).

Posting in correct article (Thanks Dana):
First, I will say that I am a huge fan of Zakk and the band. I’m also a huge fan of Zakk’s work with Ozzy and other artists.
With that said, in my opinion, Zakk has been rewriting the same songs for a very long time now. Same notes, same chords, but with different timings and orders. This song is no different. I honestly believe he just doesn’t have any more ideas and has reached a writing block that he cannot overcome. It happens.
The musicianship is great in this band but this song is stale. I was truly hoping for a new direction but got the same old same old. I’m very disappointed. It hurts to say this because I love Zakk and I’ve met him. He’s a genuinely good person. I’d much rather have a long overdue live record from BLS than another studio record.
RPS,
No thanks necessary, I would have posted it far sooner, but I was out running errands.
Reagrding the song, I don’t mind it. It has the usual Sabbath influence, and to me, I guess Wylde‘s attitude is, like that of AC/DC, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I sometimes wish that Judas Priest subscribed to that philosophy, especially in terms of, Turbo. However, I do admit, that I did like a few of the songs on that album, namely Private Property and Wild Nights, Hot & Crazy Days. 😉
I like several songs from Turbo Dana: Turbo Lover/Out In The Cold/Parental Guidance/Private Property/Wild Nights, Hot & Crazy Days.
It’s not a go-to Priest album for me but I still like it overall. The 30th Anniversary cd is pretty awesome.
I remember after one listen to Turbo Blubber I used it as a coaster….
LOL!!!!!!!!!
Haha that’s hilarious Ramitdown!
Hate to say it, but I have to agree with RPS. I like BLS, but expect something more. I felt the last album was kinda of a disappointment.
If getting into “Turbo,” I prefer “Rocka Rolla.” Only liked one song on “Turbo.”
Which song?
