On May 17th, Black Label Society will release a new, reimagined version of the band’s iconic 1999 debut LP, Sonic Brew, titled Sonic Brew - 20th Anniversary Blend 5.99 - 5.19, original formula with enhanced flavor. Frontman / founder Zakk Wylde recently spoke to Jenny McCarthy about the re-release, why his marriage works, his berserker days, the durability of Ozzy Osbourne, and playing dates with Ozzy in 2020. 

Black Label Society is currently on their 20 Years Of Sonic Brewtality Tour, a brand-new batch of 2019 North American tour dates in conjunction with the release of Sonic Brew - 20th Anniversary Blend 5.99 - 5.19.
