Zakk Wylde founded BLACK LABEL SOCIETY back in 1998, and since then, the band has been relentless in its pursuit of success, balancing extensive touring and recording sessions, particularly with Ozzy Osbourne, whom Zakk has played alongside for nearly four decades.
Known across the globe as a heavy metal icon, Zakk gained fame when Ozzy selected him as his lead guitarist based on a demo tape he sent in during his teenage years. His contributions to numerous multi-platinum records have earned him over a dozen covers on Guitar World magazine, celebrating his influence and artistry alongside Ozzy, who Zakk affectionately refers to as "the Boss."
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY has established itself as a formidable force in live performances, boasting nearly a dozen studio albums that have collectively sold millions of copies. Noteworthy releases like "Order Of The Black" (2010) and "Catacombs Of The Black Vatican" (2014) achieved remarkable success, reaching the top five on hard rock album charts.
Throughout his tenure with Ozzy, Zakk has contributed to all of the iconic singer's solo projects except for 2020's "Ordinary Man," including classic albums such as "No More Tears" (1991), "Ozzmosis" (1995), and "Black Rain" (2007).
Current Members of BLACK LABEL SOCIETY:
