10 Recent Hard Rock Albums You Should Listen To Right Now

8. Doom Crew Inc. - Black Label Society

Black Label Society have been one of the most consistent rock acts over the last 20 or so years. Their riff-powered slabs of hard rock and metal have left ears craving for more. In 2021, they once again delivered with Doom Crew Inc.

As already suggested, Doom Crew Inc. is Black Label Society at their best. "Set You Free" kicks things with a softer tone, before the pace goes into overdrive, with Zakk Wylde’s riffs driving things along at the speed of an unstoppable freight train. "Destroy and Conquer" is more of the same, centred around a loom and gloom that will suck you right in.

The band also ensures there’s enough to diversify the palette. Doom Crew Inc. offers a total of three ballads, each highlighted by soul touching guitar solos. It is also worth noting Dario Lorina isn’t simply limited rhythm on this album, combining with Wylde for some incredible twin guitar sequences.
