Vocalist SEBASTIAN BACH has checked in from the studio with the following update:
“Great times with ZAKK WYLDE last week in Washington! I am just resting my body and soul after singing all day every day for this past week for the new record! Once again producer Bob Marlette has outdone himself and this is the perfect follow-up to Kicking & Screaming. I am extremely excited for you all to hear it! I have been putting in long hours every single day making sure that it is kicking your ass in every way possible and it is sounding great! Bach to work on Monday, the album is almost done!”
Bach recently made available a new live video clip of ‘Big Guns’ taken from the recent Live DVD/CD package ABachalypse Now released last March on Frontiers.
Bach has since posted the message below on Facebook following some fan feedback:
“A lot of complete idiots are on the internet.
Fact #1: I do not use Auto Tune. I don’t even know what it is. My sound man uses delay and reverb on my voice. Just like Rob Halford (JUDAS PRIEST) on Unleashed in the East. I dig Halford’s sound. If you have a problem with delay, or reverb, complain to Rob.
Fact #2: I do not use ProTools in a live situation. I do not know of any singer who uses Pro Tools live. Pro Tools are used when recording albums.
What you are hearing in this video is exactly this: a live performance. With me making a CD out of this audio, I went into the studio and stood still and sang, fixing some parts of the song where I am running around a stage the size of a football field. In other words, I made a CD that you could listen to as well as watch. Like every live CD that I personally own.
The internet is such a fucking joke. Idiots bitch and moan and comment under YouTube cellphone clips and say ‘This doesn’t sound like the record.’ Then, when you make an actual record, the comments are ‘This sounds too much like the record.’ Oh well. This page is for people who enjoy rock n’ roll music. If you don’t like it, it’s so fucking easy for me to ban you from the page and keep it a cool place for people who dig rock. There’s about a half a million of us on here. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.”
ABachalypse Now can now be found in DVD/CD/LP. The LP is in a 180 gram Coloured Double Vinyl Gatefold Sleeve Format . The DVD/CD set includes Bach’s recent explosive performances from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles (originally broadcasted on AXS TV in North America), Hellfest in France, Graspop in Belgium and more.

EMG TV has uploaded video footage of Zakk Wylde (BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, OZZY OSBOURNE) performing a solo acoustic version of the BLACK LABEL SOCIETY song “Lovin’ Woman”. Check it out below.
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY‘s new live DVD, Blu-ray, and Digital Video, “Unblackened”, was released on September 24 by Eagle Rock Entertainment. Wylde‘s label home, eOne Music, also released the audio version of the “Unblackened” DVD under the same name. The double disc release has six additional tracks not found on the DVD, including two acoustic versions of “Queen Of Sorrow” and “Won’t Find It Here”, and covers of LEON RUSSELL‘s “Song For You” and BILL WITHERS‘ “Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone”.
Since their early Nineties inception, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, formed and helmed by guitar legend Zakk Wylde, has been at the forefront of hard rock. Their penchant for hard riffs and blazing solos has resulted in a slew of hugely successful albums and a reputation as one of the most powerful live bands of their generation. “Unblackened”, however, unveils another side of the band.
Filmed and recorded on March 6 in high definition at Los Angeles’ Club Nokia, “Unblackened” is BLACK LABEL SOCIETY presenting their songs in a whole new light, with greater use of acoustic instrumentation. Wylde plays both guitar and piano, with Nick Catanase on guitar, John DeServio on bass/vocals, Chad Szeliga on drums, Derek Sherinian on keyboards/piano, and Greg Locascio providing additional vocals.
Their stripped-down approach highlights the subtler nuances of the songwriting, without losing any of the fire or intensity. Classic tracks like “Stillborn”, “The Blessed Hellride”, “In This River”, “Throwin’ It All Away”, “Losin’ Your Mind” and many others are still punctuated by the stinging, searing solos that fans know and love, while showcasing the versatility of the band.
In addition to the concert, “Unblackened” is rich in bonus material. A new interview with Zakk, photo gallery, music video for “Losin’ Your Mind”, and a feature with Wylde visiting HM Prison Stocken in the U.K . are all included.
