5. Black Label Society - 'Catacombs Of The Black Vatican', April 8, 2014
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CknqOViS1Ww BLS head honcho Zakk Wylde only revealed the release date for his next opus on January 8, 2014. The follow up to 2010's 'Order of the Black' will be the Wylde-man's first metal album since giving up booze in 2011. Longtime fans who also followed his career with Ozzy (who fired him for his drinking, its been reported), will certainly be anxious to hear if BLS still has the tone and balls-out attitude they've come to love him for. In a quote given to Billboard in the fall of 2013 Wylde assures the fans that it'll be the same heavy as you-know-what Black Label Society that we've come to identify; "It'll have all the heavy riffs and other stuff everyone knows and loves." Has Zakk's sobriety had a positive or negative effect on the new release? We'll all know in April.
