Black Label Society brings a night of heavyweight, blues-laced hard rock to The Rust Belt with Zakk Sabbath and Dark Chapel on the bill. Guided by Zakk Wylde, the band has spent more than 25 years as a force in heavy music, pairing riff-first intensity with stormy, soul-stirring ballads. Wylde, long known for his work with Ozzy Osbourne and his status as a guitar icon, channels both ferocity and feeling in equal measure. Zakk Sabbath, the Black Sabbath cover band, features Wylde alongside bassist Blasko and drummer Joey Castillo. Dark Chapel, founded by Black Label Society guitarist Dario Lorina after early touring with Jani Lane and a run with Lizzy Borden, follows two instrumental solo releases and took shape in 2024. Their debut showcases gritty vocals and searing guitars on “Glass Heart,” thrash-leaning urgency in “Hollow Smile,” the shadowy tones of “Corpse Flower,” and bluesy weight in “Dead Weight.” “All That Remains” serves as a tribute to a lost friend, while “Bullet In Our Chamber” reflects on the pull of consuming passion.
