Zakk Wylde Wants To Share His Birthday Celebration With You
In honor of Zakk Wylde‘s birthday, the man himself has opened up a new merch shop and is offering everyone 10% off of anything in the store with the promo code “happybdayzakk”. The promo is good only through Jan. 20th, so get to ordering! You can watch a video of Zakk’s birthday celebrations below.
Black Label Society will also be recording a new live DVD entitled Unblackened on March 6th at the Club Nokia in Los Angeles, CA. The set list will tackle several songs from the band’s back catalogue as well as a few songs from Wylde’s solo project as well as his Pride & Glory side project.
The twist to this show is that it will be a stripped down acoustic performance. There will be a four-piece string section as well as a pedal steel guitar and special guests used throughout the set. The DVD will be released later this year.

John Carpenter Releases New Single “The Ferryman” From Upcoming Audio/Visual Project ‘Cathedral’
Horror master John Carpenter and bandmates Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies have released “The Ferryman“, the second single from Carpenter’s upcoming audiovisual project Cathedral.
The graphic novel arrives on August 4 through Storm King Comics, with the companion album following on August 7 via Sacred Bones Records.
In other words, every track on the companion album corresponds to a chapter in the book, with liner notes guiding listeners through the story as they read.
The 120-page graphic novel is written by Carpenter, editor/producer/wife Sandy King, and Sean Sobczak, illustrated by Federico De Luca and Luis Guaragna, colored by Ryan Winn, and lettered by Marshall Dillon.
“I like that one because it really seems to feature all three of us in a special way,” guitarist Daniel Davies said in a statement about the new single. “It has interesting harmonies that Cody put together and John’s signature pad-style string parts. It’s more of an electronic metal track in a way, but we just wanted to make it as heavy and driving as possible.“
“The Ferryman” follows the previously released “Lord of the Underground“.
The synopsis for Cathedral: “An abandoned cathedral. A gruesome murder. A powerful supernatural entity living in the catacombs. It all comes to a head in downtown Los Angeles. What will happen and who will live to tell the tale? Such is the storyline of Cathedral, the thrilling new album and terrifying graphic novel from legendary director and musician John Carpenter, based on a dream he had in 2024.“
“It was so cinematic and vivid,” the director said. “I thought, ‘I have to score this.’ It’s kind of our first heavy metal album.”
Get ready to immerse yourself in John Carpenter’s universe all over again.
