Nothing Left To SayIn an interview with Full Metal Jackie, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY leader Zakk Wylde, who rejoined Ozzy Osbourne's solo band earlier in the year, stated about BLS's upcoming activities: 'In between the breaks and in between my nail appointments, the shaving of my legs, we've actually made another BLACK LABEL album. So that'll be coming out in the New Year. We gotta pick our spots where we want to put records in there. So the whole thing is, we were in The Black Vatican Zakk's home studio, we made another album so that'll be coming out in the New Year and then the BLACK LABEL armada will start rolling in the New Year.'

Disappear for a while. BLS are now back with “ Grimmest Hits” and my first impressionsare that this is a step back towards riffs and more exciting writing. “ COTBV” lacked memorable tunes and wasrather too laid back for my tastes- although it was a polished and melodicalbum. Bearing in mind that I absolutely love “ Sonic Brew”, “ 1919 Eternal”and “ Order of The Black”, it ispleasing to hear something more akin to those albums rather than the lacklustre“ Shot to Hell” or “ Mafia”. Opener“ Trampled Below” is a foot stamper-very Sabbathy-and sets out the record's stall via big grooves and riffs and melodic vocalswhile “ Seasons of Falter” is muchmellower, but is a finely crafted song with a pretty great central riff (think Sabbath again). Wylde has toned down hisOzzy-isms, vocally, and is back further towards how he sounded on earlier albums,but the riffs on the album really are very much in the vein of classic Ozzy-eraSabbath;as might be expected considering Wylde's recent foray in the live arena withhis very own tribute, Zakk Sabbath. There is plenty of bluesy feelto the riffage of “ The Betrayal”- itwould have fit right in on Pride and Glory- so the album starts to takeshape: bluesy, hard rocking stylings with a heavy Sabbath influence- this is notthe full on metal fest of “ Order of TheBlack”, but is much weightier than “ Catacombs.”.

Wyldedelivers a fine vocal on “ All That OnceShined”, and more melodic hard rock as the track progresses. As ever, theguitar work is fantastic (if you like pinch harmonics and blazing leads- not somuch of the former on this offering, mind, but plenty of the latter). There isa lovely bluesy break in the middle of the song, too- fantastic! The firstballad is “ The Only Words”, but itis a good one and light years away from the sombre (and dull) offerings of midperiod albums. Again, it is closer to “ Prideand Glory” than “ Hangover Music”,by way of comparison. Thehead gets nodding again for “ Room ofNightmares”- still not warp speed or all out aggression, but good solidheavy riffs abound with a solid groove and a focused playing time. “ A Love Unreal” starts acoustic andelegant, but mutates quickly after that brief intro into a swaggering riff andthen melodic chorus- shades of “ SonicBrew” in the middle section spring to mind, too.
The opening to “ Disbelief” is pure Iommi and the mainriff is too! A cracking track, not without some light and dynamics, thispossibly represents where Wylde is at these days; hard rocking, but notfrantically so. “ The Day That Heaven Had Gone Away” employs a similarly one pacedapproach but is much less interesting as the second of the album's ballads-great solo, of course. “Illusions of Peace” puts the pedal to themetal effectively and uses a stop start motif which becomes a swaggeringgroove- prime BLS-with a LedZep influence: the track is a corker. “ Bury Your Sorrow” has a swinging feel and an off kilter riff,offering something different again. There are strong hooks on this one and itis weighty as well. Again, things switch down a gear for “ Nothing Left To Say”, a conventional piece of soft rock,essentially, but a likeable one and closer to Wylde's “ Book Of Shadows” releases than his usual BLS output.
It makes for aquestion mark of a closing statement instead of an exclamation point and is awell crafted track. Not the incendiary pyrotechnics I was expecting the recordto close with, but so be it.
Wylde is now over 50 years old- the changes makesense, I think. At55 minutes, the album is perhaps a little over long- the easiest solution forme would be to cut a couple of ballads, of course! This is much stronger than “.
Vatican”, which although Ireviewed it fairly positively at the time just lacked staying power andmemorable tunes. “ Grimmest Hits” is amuch more focused effort and rocks hard enough to keep fans like me happy andhas enough melody to entice fans of less extreme metal fare. It is aSabbath-esque listen with bluesy inflections and is chock full of riffs andsolos.
