About Black Label Society

Black Label Society is Zakk Wylde's main outlet, a heavy metal band that's been churning out thick, sludgy riffs since 1998. Wylde built the project as his counterpoint to his work with Ozzy Osbourne, and it's become the place where he indulges his full metal instincts without restraint. The band delivers crushing doom-tinged metal with Wylde's signature guitar work—those pentatonic shreds layered over fuzzy, distorted chords that hit like a sledgehammer. Black Label Society albums tend toward the same sonic blueprint, which works because the blueprint is loud and effective. Live, they're a freight train. Wylde's treated the band less like a side project and more like his primary vehicle, and fans respect the commitment. They're the kind of band that rewards sitting with their records for a while, letting the heaviness accumulate.

Wylde and crew bring unapologetic heaviness. Crowds are locked in, headbanging in unison. Wylde's guitar work is immaculate and intentional. The whole thing runs longer than you'd expect, which nobody minds.

Known for Stillborn, Suicide Messiah, Flooding the Skies, Stoned and Alone, Fire It Up

Black Label Society + Phoenix

Black Label Society played The Van Buren in Phoenix on July 26, 2022, running through 13 songs of pure Zakk Wylde fury. "Whole Lotta Sabbath" opened the night, and "Funeral Bell" and "Destroy & Conquer" followed in quick succession. "A Love Unreal" and "You Made Me Want to Live" added some dynamics before "In This River" quieted the room. "Trampled Down Below" brought things back to heavy, and they closed with "Set You Free," "Fire It Up," "Suicide Messiah," and "Stillborn." Phoenix in July is already brutal -- Black Label Society made it more so.

Live Music in Phoenix

Phoenix has a solid foundation for heavy music — the city's built a reputation for supporting touring acts across metal and hard rock, with venues consistently drawing crowds for guitar-centric bands. The desert vibe tends to attract artists who aren't afraid of a little sonic darkness, and there's enough crossover between metal fans and blues purists here to make BLS feel right at home.

Phoenix road trip to see Black Label Society?

Stay in Arcadia, where tree-lined streets and restored Craftsman homes give you actual neighborhood texture instead of generic sprawl. Eat at Otro, where the cooking is precise without being pretentious. Hit the Heard Museum if you want to understand what Arizona actually is beneath the tourism layer. Hike Camelback Mountain early morning before the heat makes it punishing. Spend an afternoon at Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home, which feels oddly fitting for a band that cares about emotional architecture. The whole city slows down at sunset in a way that makes Dashboard's introspection feel less like melancholy and more like clarity.
