Now how did something this raw and unadulterated find it's way onto the Billboard Top 200 album charts? Usually when a heavy metal album hits the top of the pops, it's either a long-in-the-tooth vet like Ozzy or some nu-metal crossover laced with pop sensibilities. 1919 ETERNAL is certainly neither of those; it's a hard-charging metal album that makes no compromises, delivering stomping rhythms, growling vocals, and of course, chainsaw-from-hell guitars on a mission to destroy all in their path. Despite this take-no-prisoners approach, Zakk Wylde is apparently modest enough to hide behind the moniker Black Label Society, when nearly everything on 1919 ETERNAL is played by Zakk himself with the exception of the thunderous drums heartily provided by skin-pounder Craig Nunemacher. If you're looking for melodic pop hooks here, you've come to the wrong place. Wylde brings the metal throughout this album in a manner so unabashed as to make his cause seem downright noble.
