New single from upcoming BLS album

Sounds good. Nice and heavy!

ZW is one of my all time favorite guitarists. He’s one of those guys people either love or hate… like Dimebag.

I like all his musical influences. Bluesy southern fried Metal with a touch of Doom. And he isn’t afraid to share a softer side with piano and acoustic ballads.

Hail the pentatonic king!

I like Zakk too, but I haven't bought a BLS album since Mafia.

Mafia is a great album!

You should get “Order of the Black” next.

I only own the debut, Sonic Brew. That new song is good.

Order Of The Black is a great album. I also own 1919 Eternal and The Blessed Hellride, all on cd.

I like those too! Actually… I need to get 1919 again. I lost my old copy.

I like that new song. But I'm probably not getting it, at least immediately. It's a pretty busy year with new releases and I don't know if I have the time or energy for this.

I've got Stronger than Death, 1919 Eternal, Blessed Hellride, Hangover Music & Mafia. And their live DVD.

I am interested in acquiring more BLS material.

New album is released on “Black Friday”.

Very clever.

The new BLS album and the Overkill (Atlantic years) boxset will be two of my top priority purchases.

Yeah, I want that box set too.

I listened to the song earlier. I thought it was pretty good.

New song is fantastic, but Zakk's leads are soulless as always. Not a huge deal, but the other guy's leads are so much tastier than Zakk's.

I always liked Zakk’s solos. How many players play with soul? Most Metal players don’t…
No More Tears has always been a highlight solo.

But with his solos, they rarely seem to fit the song as well as they should. He's just wanking, ripping one out without much thought. That's what I mean by soulless; they just seem like more of an afterthought or an exercise in showing off.

I agree that he tends to overplay. I guess he can’t help himself!

Yeah, you can hear the difference between his leads and the other guy's. The other dude put some thought into it, probably practiced it over and over; Zakk just said, "Hit record," and ripped his out in one take. Haha.

I've always loved Zakks playing, but sometimes it can be too much. Have you heard Jared James Nichols play? Sometimes I wish Zakk would get a little more soulful like James is.

I like it! It’s got a good a swagger to it.

I have always HATED this band, but heard this on SiriusXM and was quite surprised. Good song.
