Get ready for a heavy metal extravaganza! BLACK LABEL SOCIETY is gearing up to rock Europe this spring and summer, and the excitement is already buzzing among fans. But here's the twist: they're bringing along a stellar lineup of support acts that will make this tour an unforgettable experience.
The Tour:
On January 13, 2026, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY announced their highly anticipated European tour, kicking off in May. The band will be joined by an impressive roster of supporting artists, including VENOM INC., THROWN INTO EXILE, SACRED REICH, THUNDERMOTHER, and METAL CHURCH on select dates. This tour promises to be a celebration of pure, unadulterated heavy metal!
Dates and Venues:
The tour spans across iconic cities, starting with Glasgow, London, and Bournemouth in the UK, followed by Munich, Budapest, Paris, Strasbourg, and more. Imagine the energy as these legendary bands take the stage at venues like O2 Academy Glasgow, O2 Forum, and Tonhalle. And this is just the beginning...
Controversial Collaboration:
But here's where it gets controversial. BLACK LABEL SOCIETY will be releasing their new album, "Engines Of Demolition," just before the tour, on March 27. This highly anticipated follow-up to 2021's "Doom Crew Inc." includes 15 tracks, featuring the singles "Broken And Blind," "The Gallows," and a special tribute to Ozzy Osbourne titled "Ozzy's Song." And yes, you read that right—a tribute to the Prince of Darkness himself!
Track Listing:
The album showcases a diverse range of songs, from the hard-hitting "Name In Blood" and the epic "Gatherer Of Souls" to the emotional "Better Days & Wiser Times." And let's not forget the two versions of "Lord Humungus" and the unblackened rendition of "Name In Blood." It's an album that will undoubtedly satisfy fans and critics alike.
The Man Behind the Music:
Zakk Wylde, the charismatic guitarist and vocalist, founded BLACK LABEL SOCIETY in 1998. He's a true icon, having played with Ozzy Osbourne for nearly four decades and leaving an indelible mark on the music industry. Guitar World magazine featured him on their cover over a dozen times, honoring his contributions to Ozzy's multiplatinum albums and his own band's success.
A Legacy of Success:
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY has released almost a dozen studio albums, each one a testament to their unwavering dedication to heavy metal. Their albums "Order Of The Black" (2010) and "Catacombs Of The Black Vatican" (2014) both stormed the hard rock charts, reaching the top five. And with Zakk's exceptional talent and the band's relentless touring, their success shows no signs of slowing down.
A Musical Odyssey:
Zakk's journey with Ozzy is nothing short of remarkable. He's played on all of Ozzy's solo albums except for one, including classics like "No More Tears" and "Ozzmosis." It's a collaboration that has shaped the sound of heavy metal and solidified their place in music history.
The Current Lineup:
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY's current lineup consists of Zakk Wylde on vocals, guitar, and piano, John "JD" DeServio on bass, Jeff Fabb on drums, and Dario Lorina on guitar. This talented group is ready to deliver an unforgettable live experience across Europe.
