The Zakk Wylde group Black Label Society released a new single called “The Gallows”, which might be part of an upcoming album the band revealed recently they were working on. However, there is still nothing confirmed about that and the song was really released as a single only.
Besides Zakk Wylde on guitar and vocals, the band is also formed by John DeServio (Bass), Dario Lorina (Guitar) and Jeff Fabb (Drums). The band has only one scheduled show this year that will happen next September 14 in Bushkill, PA. For the next few months, Zakk will be busy touring with Pantera.
Hear the new Black Label Society song “The Gallows”
Lyrics
“Waters of Despair
Until theres nothing left
I’ve died again inside
You’ve taken my dying breath
You will be the first
You will be the last
Together we shall burn
As our gallows turn to ash
Running from my fate
As the vultures await
Whats theirs
I’ve died again inside
And I’ll be there for your
Final ride”
Black Label Society was formed in Los Angeles, California in 1998. Until now the band released 11 studio albums and 3 live records. Some of their most famous songs are “Stillborn”, “Funeral Bell”, “Suicide Messiah” and “Fire It Up”.
Wylde formed the group after working with Ozzy Osbourne for more than a decade. He was part of the albums: “No Rest For The Wicked” (1988), “No More Tears” (1991), “Ozzmosis” (1995) until he formed the group. But he continued to record with the Prince of Darkness, still appearing on “Down To Earth” (2001), “Black Rain” (2007) and “Patient Number 9” (2022).
