Black Label Society put out Order of the Black in 2010, toured their asses off, and then just faded into doing other stuff and whatever… or so we thought. Apparently there's more going on!
In an interview with Zoiks! Online, Zakk Wylde had this to say about why it's taken three years to even start up a new record:
Yeah, but it's not like we haven't been working. It's not like we put the last record out and haven't been touring; we toured for over two years on the last album. Then I've been doing those acoustic shows with Nick [Catanese]. It's not like I've been chomping at the bit, because I'm so busy touring and in tour mode and I'm having fun doing that. Like I said, I love doing both; I love touring and I love making the records. The studio is great too; it's a controlled environment. It's where you can paint the canvas and do everything. Live is pretty much a free-for-all.
Makes sense to me. Plus, he was hospitalized in late 2010 with a blood clot in his leg, which I'm sure put a little bit of a damper on things when it came time to do some writing and touring. Well, that and selling kickass fridges. So I can only assume we'll be getting a new Black Label Society record in 2014, pending everything goes well?
