For more than 25 years, Black Label Society has stood as one of heavy music’s most enduring and unmistakable forces. Founded in 1998 by Zakk Wylde, the band built its legacy on a powerful blend of crushing riffs, blues-drenched grooves, soaring guitar leads, and unexpectedly vulnerable balladry, earning a singular place in modern hard rock and metal. Across a discography defined by both brute force and heart, Black Label Society has become a banner for loyalty, grit, and unapologetic heaviness, with Wylde’s larger-than-life presence and unmistakable playing at the center of it all.
That same spirit drives Engines of Demolition, Black Label Society’s first full-length since Doom Crew Inc. in 2021, the record delivers everything fans have come to expect from Black Label Society: thunderous riffs, soul-soaked solos, signature vocals, and the unmistakable balance of heaviness and emotion that has defined the band for decades. Written in the years following 2022, while Wylde was also immersed in major live commitments including Pantera and Zakk Sabbath, Engines of Demolition channels grief, brotherhood, power, and catharsis into a record that feels both massive and deeply personal. Featuring tracks including “Name in Blood,” “Broken and Blind,” “The Gallows,” “Lord Humungus,” and “Ozzy’s Song,” the album reaffirms Black Label Society as a relentless force on record and on stage.
Released worldwide on March 27, 2026, Engines of Demolition launches a major new chapter for Black Label Society. Following a run of advance singles, the album is being supported by an extensive 2026 touring cycle with headline dates across North America, Mexico, the UK, and Europe, plus newly announced summer and fall shows under the “American Crusade” banner.
