Metal Hammer has shared a new video featuring guitar legend, Zakk Wylde, breaking down five songs that have defined his career so far, from Ozzy Osbourne classics and breakthrough Black Label Society hits, to his emotional tribute to the Prince Of Darkness.
Black Label Society kicks off 2026 with Engines Of Demolition, their first studio album since 2021, out March 27th and available for pre-order here.
BLS’ heavy hitting newest single and video “Name In Blood” is available for streaming and download here. Check out a music video below:
Zakk Wylde began writing Engines Of Demolition in 2022 during his relentless Pantera Celebration World Tour and continued through 2025, when he wrote his most personally profound and heartfelt ballad to date, “Ozzy’s Song”. A song for the man who started this all for Zakk.
“‘Engines Of Demolition’ is a sincere ride through the peaks and valleys of the last four years from start to finish, some of the highest highs and lowest lows and everything in between,” says Wylde.

“Name In Blood”
“Gatherer Of Souls”
“The Hand Of Tomorrows Grave”
“Better Days & Wiser Times”
“Broken And Blind”
