Editorial Reviews

2010 release from former Ozzy guitarist Zakk Wylde and BLS. Order of the Black will feature Black Label at its best with frontman/lead axeman Wylde's signature guitar virtuosity and howling vocals, as well as a propulsive rhythm section, courtesy of bassist J.D. Deservio and drummer Will Hunt, along with a few surprises.

After being summarily dumped by Ozzy Osbourne for drinking too much and making Ozz sound like B.L.S., Zakk made a hasty self-imposed retreat to the Black Label bunker to regroup. The result is a brutal and sometimes beautiful return to Sonic Brew, Book Of Shadows, and Stronger Than Death. All SDMF's know blood cots, alcohol, and being released from "The Bosses" gig wasn't gonna stop him. Refreshed and inspired, Zakk puts together an excellent collection of brewtality and what few people realize, Zakk is a total musician at his core. One of the hardest working performers out there and one of metal's last true guitar heroes. Berzerker's rejoice, Order Of The Black indeed!!!!

01. Crazy Horse - Zakk wastes no time and the first track is excellent. Could have been from Stronger Than Death and a precursor to what the listener is in for.
Great start for a strong album. 9/10

02. Overlord - Great riff with the classic Zakk tone. Song sticks in your head after just a few listens. 8.5/10

03. Parade Of The Dead - Another go for the throat song continuing the punishing assault on the listener. Classic B.L.S. with drummer Will Hunt pounding the skins like a man possessed. Great tune with palm muted riffing and insane pinch harmonics only Zakk can deliver. 10/10

04. Darkest Days - after being pummeled for the first 3 tracks, Zakk shifts gears Book Of Shadows style with a piano fused ballad. It's a nice change a pace and illustrates he is first and foremost a musician, and not just a shredder. 8/10

05. Black Sunday - opens with a dizzying, blistering legato lead. The pedal is back to the floor and this tune reminds me of something from Sonic Brew. Another strong track with a tight rhythm section from bassist John DeServio and drummer Will Hunt. 8.5/10

06. Southern Dissolution - Classic Zakk with heavy riffage, pinch harmonics, and a Southern rock/Sabbath feel. Another solid rocking tune B.L.S. All killer no filler on this release. 8/10

07. Time Waits For No One - Another piano ballad and a good one, Book Of Shadows style. A nicely paced disc, needed after such adrenaline filled tunes in succession.
Excellent solo on a disc filled with them. 8/10

08. Godspeed Hell Bound - Will Hunt is excellent on this cd and starts another killer track with a sonic assault on his drum kit. Great tone again from Zakk, and this tune brings the cd Stronger Than Death to mind. Nice mid-tempo pace change mid song building nicely into Zakk's solo. 8.5/10

09. War Of Heaven - at the risk of sounding redundant, another punishing B.L.S. bezerker track. Classic SDMF tracks with everything you want and expect. 8.5/10

10. Shallow Grave - another strong piano ballad to slow the pace. You can see the pattern where B.L.S. kicks your a$$ then lets you recover only to have your ears bl&*d again. 8/10

11. Chupacabra - wicked acoustic solo in the T.A.Z. vein that doesn't dissappoint the listener. Insane chicken pickin and fretboard blistering licks in 51 seconds of glorious shred. 8.5/10

12. Riders Of The Damned - One of my personal faves and a great riff. Cool piano section mid-tune, into another Wylde solo. DeServio and Hunt are solid together and this track is no exception. 8.5/10

13. January - an acoustic ballad and a solid one. 8/10

14. Bridge Over Troubled Waters (Amazon bonus) - Originally done by Simon and Garfunkel, Zakk adds his personal touch to this song. A decent version of a classic that fans will either love or hate. Always liked this song but i would have preferred this disc go out heavy. Nonetheless, that is my only gripe with an otherwise return to form for Zakk. 8/10

Everything a B.L.S. fan could want is in here. Don't even think about not purchasing this release if you haven't already. A must have for guitar fans, or metal fans in general. 8.75-9/10. Just about 4.5 stars but 5 stars are in order.

Thank you for reading!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE September 23, 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This album is an absolute must have. Shreading metal, monster guitar solos, perfect ballads, powerful vocals and above all an etheral sense of clarity that for most is impossible to harness. I can't wait for the Berzerkus Tour to hit Houston on October 28th so I can see some of this live.
As much as I like Ozzy, it will become very apparent that he made a dreadful mistake in not retaining Zakk's services.
If you do not have this CD, drop everything you're doing and go get it now. Your brain will thank you later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Order this Now! August 10, 2010
Format:Audio CD
This album smokes! One of the best from BLS! Godspeed Hellbound, War of Heaven, Parade of the Dead, Overlord, Riders of the Damned, Black Sunday all smoke heavy crushing riffs! Personally I enjoy the heavy riffs more than the ballads, but even the ballads are great especially the song "Darkest Days"! Zakk is back!

Note: War Of Heaven is my personal Favorite song on this album one of my all time favorite BLS songs..reminds me of Slayer and Megadeth but Zakk style to it!

Anyway this a "Must Have" for all BLS fans and fans of Metal/Hard Rock Genre!

Great sound. Couple sleepers but overall, if the noise in my head could be heard, Zakk pretty much puts it out there. Thanks buddy.
