I love Black Label Society. Their gritty style of music is awesome and I must say that their album "Hangover Music Volume VI" is indeed perfect for hangovers.

The bonus with BLS is that they are one of the Metal bands that my girlfriend likes. I'm pretty sure she finds Zakk Wylde's voice to be sexy.

"He's not coimin' bwaaack"

I always pictured the South Park guys singing In The River.

Good jam from a solid group. Thanks subby

Nice pick.

haha, one of the few master songs in the very first guitar hero.

I slept through BLS both years I saw them.

Love this song, good call.

Thanks subby.

Great song subby

I offer this in response. Slayer (new window)

MAN I hate this band. HAAYYOOOOWWWW HOWWW YOOOOOWWWWW

Zakk Wylde is a total joke these days but Book of Shadows was pretty sweet, and even more southern fried than his brand of "metal". pride and glory is cool I guess but I never listen to that. barely ever listen to Zakk Wylde music. BLAH. this riff...chug chug chug chug chug chug *harmonics* chug chug chug widdleeeoooo chug chug chug chug

if I want chug chug I'll listen to Nevermore. their chug chug is good chug chug

Hell, that wasn't even metal. More like country-fried rock. Wah-wahs have no place in metal.

I completely disagree with you but I must say I thought your post was hilarious. Nicely played.

You are very very wrong

Will my dooooom! always be denied? Seriously, we need some non-Sabbath doom here. BLS sucks by the way.

My Submission: Solitude Aeturnus - Destiny Falls to Ruin (new window)

I've been listening to stuff that barely qualifies as metal this week, but it's stuff I enjoy, so I'm posting them anyways.

Avrigus: I guess you could call this a "wedding-gown" metal band (thanks to whoever came up with that), but it's not really metal and has a church like vibe to the music.

Alcest: Post-black, nostalgia inducing, nice sounding music. the phrase "Extremely pleasant on the ears" sums up Alcest perfectly.

Wardruna: Tribal, primitive sounding folk music. Rhythmic, ritualistic drums and traditional folk instruments combined with chanting vocals combine to make this band enthralling.

Man BLS was terrible when they came to Atlanta most recently. Free tickets or not, I wish I had just stayed home. Bleh.

I like the song. I like BLS. Vic Rattlehead (new window) would kick Skully McBones ass though.

I can't say I care for BLS but I enjoyed all your recs, thanks for sharing.

Thanks SPna15:

I really dug that stuff. I have never heard that "genre?" before.

I am still baffled at this guy. Are we totally sure this is the same Zakk Wylde who played with Ozzie some years ago? Damn he really needs to lay off the steroids. I mean really.

Tellingthem: Thanks SPna15:

I really dug that stuff. I have never heard that "genre?" before.

It's from the Evanescence thread earlier this week where someone used "wedding gown" metal to refer to bands like Nightwish and Within Temptation.

These guys suck. I remember watching them at Ozzfest a few years ago, and being shocked and appalled at what a bunch of wanky, amateurish bar-rock was being passed off to my fellow mouth-breathers as world-class metal. It sounded like Zack was gonna be the biggest dork in the world, and jump into "Eruption." And then... he went into "Eruption"!! Bwahaahhahaa!!! EPIC FAIL

the absolute worst song to appear in a guitar hero game

So slow and boring. Ug jug jug jug. So slo-ow and BORIIIIING!!!! Ug jug jug jug. So slow and bor-iiiinnnng. Ug jug jug jug. So slow and boriii-i-i-i-ing. Ug jug jug jug. So slo-ow and boring.

Drum fill. Guitar solo.

Woohoo, change of pace on the SHMHC! Excellent to see, thank you to whoever submitted. I listen to BLS frequently, it's my set of cruising tunes.

Other tunes:

Zakk also has a rather interesting catalog of acoustic work which his voice seems to work with quite well.

Good pick, subby. I've been a BLS fan for a while now, and saw them in concert at the beginning of May. IMO their two best albums are 1919 Eternal and The Blessed Hellride. I love their gritty brand of southern metal/sludge metal.

Plus, Zakk Wylde is a really classy guy. I remember reading a news article a while back where Zakk encountered a young fan who wanted to learn guitar but couldn't afford one, so Zakk took him to the nearest music store and told him he could have any guitar he wanted. Zakk then gave the kid and his family tickets (complete with backstage passes) to the Ozzy concert he was in town to play.

Another cool Zakk Wylde story I heard involved him playing an acoustic set at a Hard Rock Cafe. People were lined up outside the cafe hoping to see Zakk play, so he told the manager of the restuaurant that he wanted to buy all of them drinks. A little while later Zakk's wife came up to him and asked him why they were being billed for literally thousands of dollars worth of drinks. Zakk, of course, paid his tab without complaint.

Plus, I once saw him scissor kick Angela Lansbury.

A massive thank you from me on Solitude Aeturnus. I'm not big into the doom thing and I've never heard of these guys. Freakin' awesome.

DeathByGeekSquad: Woohoo, change of pace on the SHMHC! Excellent to see, thank you to whoever submitted.



You're welcome.



It's too bad BLS doesn't do it for many of you, but that's fine. I'll continue to enjoy them even if they are "simple" and suck live.

I very much appreciate your doooooom! Great picks there.

Here are some more.

Witchcraft- Some good raw sound, with clean vocals. They have some great riffs, not nearly as boring as most other popular doom bands out there.

The Sword I love these guys. Awesome riffs. Sounds a bit like Ozzy (which is not a bad thing). Cheesy lyrics often based on George Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire books. Good stuff.

Mastodon (2 parts) I love plugging for Mastodon. They never cease to blow me away. Complex metal, amazing guitar work, and the best drummer on the planet. Epic is cliched but is a pretty apt word. A bit long, be sure to listen to part 2.

HEEYOOWWWW HOWWWWW YOOOHOOOWWOWWWWAAHOOWWWWW YOWWWWWWWW

I didn't think this BLS video was all that bad. Anyways I'm kinda late to thread but I'll still contribute.

Old Man's Child - Black Seeds on Virgin Soil - Norwegian black/death metal band that started in the early 90's.

He ripped of Nazzareth and Peter Frampton.

BLS outside of Book of Shadows is lame. Well, i haven't listen to book of shadows in a long-ass time, so that might be lame too. i'm workin' on memory here, folks. that's my two cents, and i'll post some doom links tomorrow morning, if i'm up to it. word.

Figured it was you, thanks regardless. Too many death metal links recently, excellent change of pace.

I think Zakk is a great guitarist, who just happens to not be a good musician.

whats with all the BLS hate? especially by those listening to black metal...
go play some dungeons and dragons.

I don't particularly care for Zakk for reasons already touched on in this thread. He sounds...I don't know, generic...or something. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Having said that, Thank god for the change of pace...

On an unrelated note, Driving to work this morning, I heard Mastadon being played on the radio. That in and of itself is just freaking wierd, but I recognized the song as the one they slaughtered on "Letterman" a while back. It was pretty good. If they are attempting to go mainstream (obviously) here's wishing them luck, and I hope they don't sell out too bad.

The south is terrible.

Black Label Society is awful.

Capt_Fodder: A massive thank you from me on Solitude Aeturnus. I'm not big into the doom thing and I've never heard of these guys. Freakin' awesome.

If you want to get into Solitude, I would suggest starting with the album Beyond the Crimson Horizon. If you want to hear more bands in that style I suggest Candlemass and Doomsword (coolest name ever).

BallZach: Witchcraft- Some good raw sound, with clean vocals. They have some great riffs, not nearly as boring as most other popular doom bands out there.

I love Witchcraft, am indifferent towards Mastodon, and hate The Sword (although I love ASOIAF. Get off your ass and finish the books Martin!).


Good Southerny sounding metal: Pagan Altar, who the more I listen to, the more I'm convinced that they may be the best band ever.

BLS sucks a dick.

My one complaint about Down is that a number of their songs end up sounding the same to me when it's on in the background. I do enjoy them though, especially Dog Tired for some reason I cannot articulate at this early hour.

I can't believe there was finally a SMHC that didn't feature a viking band singing about dragons and shiat.

Somebody said "change of pace"?

Minsk -
Out Of A Center Which Is Neither Dead Nor Alive
First track
Last track

Isis & Aereogramme -
In The Fishtank 14 EP
First track
Second track

There are worse bands people could listen to, BLS has its place in my collection.

The guy from Crowbar sounds like he's taking a big, painful shiat. He even looks like he's dropping a duece.
