“Doom Crew Inc.” is the fourth BLS album created at the Black Vatican, the studio built at the Wylde residence in 2010. “Ever since Order of the Black, we make all of the Black Label donuts up here,” Zakk Wylde said. “We make them, put them in the oven, and then box them up and ship them out.”
The nearly 30 songs amassed then whittled down to 12 for the album began to take shape at the onset of the 2020 pandemic. “I’d sit in the garage with my amp and just write riffs,” Zakk said.
Longtime bassist John “J.D.” DeServio, drummer Jeff Fabb and guitarist Dario Lorina convened at the Vatican, resulting in songs such as “Set You Free,” “Ruins,” “Forsaken” and “Shelter Me.”
“We incorporated Father Dario even more into the solos, doubling with me and being more involved in that regard,” Wylde said. “It really, truly is a two-guitar album, more so than ever. A twin guitar band, whether it’s the Allman Brothers or Judas Priest, with harmony lines, unison lines, and trading off solos. It stemmed from the live shows, where we’d both go into the crowd and extend songs like ‘Fire It Up.’”
Black Label Society will hit the road this fall for the “Doom Trooping Over North America” tour. The first set of days also will feature Obituary and Prong. Support on the last five dates will come from Armored Saint and Prong. Tickets are on sale now.
