Speaking with Lauren Wise for Phoenix New Times, Black Label Society leader Zakk Wylde talks about narrowing down songs for a 2016 album release:
“Well, for the Book of Shadows II record, we ended up having about 40 basic tracks we put down. So it is a matter of putting lyrics to them and finishing them up. And right now, I mean, before I was talking to you, I was writing music. I’ll probably start recording again before Christmas, doing some vocals, then try to knock out as much as I can in January, and the record should be done. It’s an immersive-type style for Black Label. You know, acoustic, piano, but electric guitar in there as well.”
