Black Label Society is a heavy metal band formed by Zakk Wylde. They have released 9 albums to date, and Wylde (with bassist John “JD” Deservio, drummer Craig Nunenmacher, and fellow guitarist Nick “The Evil Twin” Catanese) recently released the follow up to the 2005 release “Mafia” (9/11 UK, 09/12 US) called “Shot To Hell”. Zakk recently started a record deal with Roadrunner Records and the new album will be produced by Michael Beinhorn (Soundgarden, Ozzy Osbourne, Red Hot Chili Peppers).

In 1992, Ozzy retired after the No More Tears tour, which led Zakk to form his own solo band Pride & Glory, blending potent bluesy southern rock with heavy metal. In 1994 Ozzy decided to come out of retirement, and the numerous recording sessions for Ozzmosis took place. Around this time, Zakk was also offered the open guitar slot in Guns N’ Roses and had a hard time deciding whether to tour with Ozzy or join Guns N’ Roses. Neither project panned out. This gave Wylde the opportunity to record his own acoustic solo album, “Book of Shadows.” After limited commercial success with Book Of Shadows, in 1998, Zakk and drummer Phil Ondich formed Black Label Society and recorded their debut album “Sonic Brew.” Nick Catanese has been Zakk’s rhythm guitarist since the Book Of Shadows tour. Craig Nunenmacher has been drumming since 1919 Eternal (2001) following Phil’s departure.
