Black Label Society bandleader Zakk Wylde wields his guitar like a Viking weapon,bashing out thick riffage and squeezing out expressive squeals as if the glory of his Berserker​ ​brotherhood​ ​depends​ ​upon​ ​every​ ​single​ ​note,​ ​which​ ​of​ ​course,​ ​it​ ​does.     Charismatic beast and consummate showman, Wylde puts his massive heart and  earnest soul on display with unbridled, unchained, animalistic passion in Black Label Society, whether it’s a crushingly heavy blues-rock barnstormer or a piano-driven ode to a fallen brother. Each Black Label Society album is another opportunity to top the one before it, but like AC/DC orTheRollingStones,BLS isn’t here​ ​to​ ​reinvent​ ​the​ ​wheel.​ ​If​ ​it​ ​ain’t​ ​broke,​ ​don’t​ ​fix​ ​it.​ ​It’s​ ​a​ ​brand​ ​we​ ​can​ ​trust.   Mighty missives like “DamntheFlood,”“InThisRiver,”“Stillborn,”“MyDyingTime,”  “Queen of Sorrow,” and “Blood is Thicker Than Water” have amassed millions of downloads and streams. They are the soundtracks to sweatsoakedrevelry, jubilant evenings​ ​that​ ​descend​ ​into​ ​bewildering​ ​mornings,​ ​and​ ​adrenaline​ ​fueled​ ​sports.     Grimmest Hits ​ , the band’s tenth full-length studio album and follow-up to Billboard Top 5 entries​Catacombs of the Black Vatican (2014) and​Order of the Black(2010), BlacklabelSocietysubmitnewanthemslikeradiosingle“Room of Nightmares,”the  bluesy “Seasons of Falter,” and Southern-fried “The Day That Heaven Had Gone Away”​ ​to​ ​the​ ​BLS​ ​faithful;​ ​12​ ​unstoppable​ ​tracks​ ​to​ ​add​ ​to​ ​that​ ​lifestyle​ ​soundtrack.
