Band History
In 1990 Zakk Wylde's boss Ozzy Osbourne was about to take a longer break after the album Ozzmosis. To kill some time Zakk formed his first project band Pride & Glory in which he combined Southern Rock with Heavy Metal. The project was cancelled in 1994 but the idea behind it stayed alive. In 1996 Zakk recorded a accoustic album called Book Of Shadows. The drummer Phil Ondrich, who worked with Zakk on Book of Shadows encouraged Zakk to do another record in the style of Pride & Glory. The project was intended to be called Hell’s Kitchen but in the end the name Black Label Society was chosen in reference to Zakk's love for Black label Whiskey.
The record Sonic Brew was released in 1998 as another Zakk Wylde solo project because it was entirely recorded by Zakk himself (besides the drums); Black Label Society was never intended to be a long lastin,touring band! Zakk and Phil did a BLS-tour with rythm guitarist Nick Catanese and bassist John DeServio. The feedback to the music was big enough to make Zakk record another BLS record in 2000.
