After teasing fans with their incredible set at last year’s High Voltage Festival and the release of blistering new album ‘Order Of The Black’ (in stores now), Zakk Wylde’s Black Label Society unleashed hell on the UK this month as they embarked on their 'Berzerkus Tour'.
In the two decades since Ozzy Osbourne hired him away from his job at a New Jersey gas station to become his new guitarist, Zakk Wylde has established himself as a guitar icon known and revered the world over. Writing and recording with Osbourne led to multi-platinum success, inspiring him to create the now legendary band Black Label Society in 1998. Over the last decade, diehard BLS fans - the Berserkers - along with Wylde have created a heavy metal institution true to his vision of uncompromising, unfiltered, and unrestrained rock ‘n’ roll.
‘Order of the Black’, the outfit’s eighth studio album, was released to critical acclaim in August of this year, and was preceded by Zakk picking up the prestigious Golden God award at the 2010 Kawasaki Metal Hammer Golden God Awards.
Black Label Society played at Bristol's Colston Hall last night (February 23rd), the last show of the UK tour. As always Stereoboard.com's official gig photgrapher Craig Thomas (www.oppositeimages.co.uk) was on hand to take some superb shots of the carnage on stage, giving you the best view in the house!
