Black Label Society recently canceled the January 8th show in Montreal and tonight's show in Toronto, with the dates being postponed until this summer due to frontman Zakk Wylde suffering from "severe illness". Now tomorrow's show in Grand Rapids and the January 12th show in Oklahoma City have also been postponed until the summer. No specifics have been given at this time. Stay tuned for updates and a confirmation of new dates.

A statement from the band reads, “Due to severe illness and Zakk Wylde’s inability to perform, we must postpone the shows in Montreal, Toronto, Grand Rapids, and Oklahoma City until summer of 2018. New dates will be announced soon, please hold onto your tickets, we will be back to perform for our fans as quickly as possible.”

Black Label Society will release their tenth full length, Grimmest Hits, on January 19th via Entertainment One (eOne). The new effort will be the follow-up to Billboard Top 5 charting titles Catacombs Of The Black Vatican (2014) and Order Of The Black (2010). In-between then and now, Zakk Wylde released Book of Shadows II, the follow-up to his 1996 solo debut of the same name, which debuted at #18 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. The single "Trampled Down Below" is available for streaming below.

"Trampled Down Below", "All That Once Shined", and "Room Of Nightmares" are available as iTunes instant gratification tracks, meaning fans who pre-order the album on iTunes now will receive all three songs as an instant download. Pre-order links below.
