BLACK LABEL SOCIETY will release their greatest hits package, titled Skullage, on April 21st. It will contain "some unreleased material on CD and DVD."

In other news, ZAKK WYLDE recently conducted an interview with Live-Metal.Net. An excerpt follows:

You’ve got the Black Label Bash, the big tour coming up in the spring. It’s got a good lineup of bands. What can we expect on this tour?

Zakk Wylde: It’s more Black Label brutality and gayness. It’s another Black Label family gathering, man. What I wanna do, this may wind up being a Sturgis-type thing, getting Harley Davidson involved—we’re talking maybe about it. All the chapters can get together and just cruise around, almost kind of like THE GRATEFUL DEAD where you just make road trips for the tours and everyone just has a good time. At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about, all the chapters all over the place, tailgating, barbecuing, the whole fuckin’ nine yards before the gigs. So we’ve got our SEVENDUST brothers over there. They’re a bunch of great guys, ass-kickin’ band. It’s giving a bunch of younger bands, just giving them the opportunity to play in front of a bunch of people.

There’s going to be some sort of greatest hits or best-of compilation coming out soon.

Zakk Wylde: Yeah, ‘cause the record company was just asking. They said, “Zakk, can you just put a whole compilation of stuff together before you put the new album out?” When we did Kings of Damnation there was a bunch of fuckin’ tunes on that thing. He goes, “Well, can you make another one?” I go, “Yeah, I can put a bunch of shit together on that fuckin’ thing.” He said, “Cool, we’ll just put that out to fuckin’ hold you over until the next record.” I said, “Well, no fuckin’ problem.”

Is there going to be any unreleased material on this new compilation?

Zakk Wylde: Yeah. We did a whole bunch of fuckin’ acoustic shows and shit like that, me and Nick, a while ago. They came out really fuckin’ cool. It was just me and Nick doing a batch of fuckin’ material and shit like that, acoustic versions of heavy songs. So yeah, we’re putting that shit on there, too.
