The group has a new album slated for arrival next year
Black Label Society have dropped their newest single Broken and Blind? via MNRK Heavy and Spinefarm Records. This is the band’s third single release, pre-dated by “Lord Humungus” (2025) and “The Gallows” (2024), leading up to the much-anticipated new Black Label Society album scheduled for early 2026. ‘Broken and Blind’ is available across all major digital streaming platforms, and the official music video directed by long-time collaborator Justin Reich can be seen on YouTube.
“What’s going on gang? This is Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society. This is a new song called ‘Broken and Blind’. The song is about peanut butter and chocolate and what happens when you don’t have any of it. My soul is broken and I’m blind with rage if I don’t have any peanut butter and chocolate, so there you go, it’s a new song called ‘Broken and Blind’. Thank you, have a great day.”

In addition to his never-ending touring schedule with Pantera and the Experience Hendrix Tour, Wylde has keeping busy working on a new Black Label Society album. The group’s last album was 2021’s Doom Crew Inc. It featured the hit single “Set You Free,” the fast-paced rocker “Destroy & Conquer,” and the heavy groover “Forsaken.” It was the band’s eleventh studio effort. In May of 2023, Zakk offered fans an update from the studio.
“Greetings, Berzerkers,” the note began. “As you can see, Black Label Society is hard at work on the studio working on a new album and somehow there’s enough hours in the day for Zakk Wylde to break skulls with Pantera.”
Wylde has pretty much done is all. From touring and recording with music icon Ozzy Osbourne, to putting together his own chart-topping band, and even creating his own coffee, there isn’t much the legendary shredder hasn’t achieved. Now, he can add curating his own festival to the list.
The Berzerkus, a one-day jaunt, went down last September. The festival took place at Poconos Park in Bushkill, Pennsylvania. The lineup featured Wylde’s Black Label Society, as well as Clutch, Rival Sons, Black Stone Cherry, and outlaw country star Cody Jinks. Additionally, tribute acts for Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, and Iron Maiden also took the stage.
“Poconos Park is honored to work with Zakk Wylde to host BERZERKUS in the Poconos,” Poconos Park/From The Roots CEO John M. Oakes said at the time. “Integrating Zakk’s vision and passions into a fan-focused festival experience is going to be fun for all who attend.”
In the summer of 2023, Zakk Wylde hit the road with Pantera. The group – Phil Anselmo, Rex Brown, Charlie Benante (Anthrax), and Wylde – mounted their first proper headlining tour in over 20 years. The run started on July 28 at The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania just outside of Pittsburgh. Revisit our review and live photos HERE.
