BLACK LABEL SOCIETY TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM, “DOOM CREW INC.” ON NOVEMBER 26TH, VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “SET YOU FREE” AVAILABLE NOW
Black Label Society will release itss 11th studio album, Doom Crew Inc., on November 26th 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 now. Today (August 23rd), the band released the music video for the LP’s first single, Set You Free (listen below).
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.
The songs are odes to celebration and mourning, the soundtracks to jubilant evenings and bewildering days recorded in Zakk Wylde‘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,” said 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.”

Zakk is so damn funny, as sick as this video is , one cannot help, but laugh….and those wigs?? Must be from the Gene Simmons collection.
God, I love Mr. Wylde…
– the Gene Simmons collection, LMAO! 😉 Totally agree on the video, love the song! Very abrupt ending though… so abrupt that I thought my battery died in my phone!
Black Label Society is scheduled to begin touring with Armored Saint around the end of December 2021. Those should be killer shows!
Love Zakk, can’t wait for the new album. The video is gruesome, but funny as hell in the style Zakk.
I really dig the new song and I already pre-ordered the vinyl haha. Zakk and everything he’s been a part of are some of my all time faves. I met him before a Zakk Sabbath show two years ago. Paud $100 & worth every penny. He is the coolest dude. Gave me a big man hug, signed a bunch of shit, took a photo with me. Simply the best.
I was fortunate to meet him up at Eddie’s studio once, he gave me a huge hug, as well. He is a great person, and funny as heck, I love when he says “toodles.”
Also, he supports veterans, because his dad was a vet.
Too bad there aren’t more rockers like the Wylde man!
Supporting veterans is very important. I’ve volunteered at A Hand Up events in Central Ohio. 1919 Eternal is a highly under-appreciated metal record. That record is dedicated to his Father I believe and when I listen to it I’m ready to get on a plane and go defend our great country!!
Bless you for doing that, I always donate to Vet causes (which are very close to my heart, as I had WWIII vets in my family, my Dad was in the Army reserve, etc.), kudos on you.
