Black Label Society vocalist/guitarist Zakk Wylde was characteristically jovial during a recent chat with Loudwire. Ever the joker, the following exchange took place regarding the bands coming new album “Catacombs Of The Black Vatican” (out April 08th) and its ‘radio friendly’ first single “My Dying Time“:
“You’ve got the new Black Label Society album ‘Catacombs of the Black Vatican’ set to drop on April 8. Man, I’ll tell you what, that first single, ‘My Dying Time,’ great song and seems like, to me, one of the more radio friendly songs that the band has released in a couple of years.
Well, if you think that’s radio friendly, wait until you get a load of the rest of the album. I’ve ripped off every Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber song I could possibly pick up. Basically, I tell the fellas in the band, “We’re heading to the top.” The top of what mountain? I have no idea. But we’re heading there.
At least you didn’t rip off Avenged Sevenfold.
[Laughs] Right? Hey, listen, man, whatever’s working, we’re stealing. We’ll deal with the lawsuits later on.”
