Roadrunner Records has pushed back the projected U.S. release date of the new Black Label Society album, "Shot To Hell", to September 19 from the previously announced July 3, a spokesperson for the label has confirmed to Blabbermouth.net.
"Shot to Hell" will be Black Label Society's first release for Roadrunner. The album is the follow-up to "Mafia", which debuted in March 2005 at #15 on The Billboard 200 chart and at #1 on the Top Independent Albums chart. The top rock track "In This River" from "Mafia" was recently included on the "MTV2 Headbangers Ball: The Revenge" album, also available on Roadrunner.
Black Label Society, who have secured a second-stage headlining slot at this year's Ozzfest, will tour the world extensively in support of the new album. Black Label Society mainman Zakk Wylde is also writing and recording with Ozzy Osbourne for his new CD, to be released sometime next year.
----------------------------
Black Label Society are a band I'd love to see but I have never had that privilege. Perhaps if they come to Ireland, I'll go and see them during their World Tour. And if Ozzy does a World Tour, I'd love to see him again, but it wouldn't be the same as when I saw him with Sabbath.
