Track Review: Zakk Wylde’s Black Label Society “Parade of the Dead” Order of the Black [2010]

Zakk Wylde’s Black Label Society is back with another bad ass tune and best leading single yet titled “Parade of the Dead.”

The aggressive intro riff breeds even more aggression as the pummeling forces march onward. “Parade of the Dead” enlists a killer half-time power feel before the blazing guitar solo.

The outro riff would have been a perfect fit for Ozzy Osbourne’s legendary record No rest For The Wicked.

There is much reason to be very excited for the Order of the Black album due out August 10. After hearing the new track, you can’t help but wonder,”Is Ozzy a damn fool?” By the way, the Dawn of the Dead cover art is priceless.

This is the first studio album from Black Label Society since Shot to Hell in 2006 and since Wylde struggled with blood clots in 2009.

    Heavy riffing, fast tempo, memorable melody – that means it is a great song. I wish the rest of the album to be this strong, but it seems Zakk is in really good songwriting shape. This song makes you drive faster.
