Black Label Society is a heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California formed by Zakk Wylde
(former guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne).
In the early 1990s, Wylde had formed his own solo band Pride & Glory.
However, they disbanded in December 1994 after having released only one album.
In May 1998 Wylde and drummer Phil Ondich recorded what became Black Label Society's debut album Sonic Brew.
It was decided, rather than the album being another solo album for Wylde, that they would form a long term band.
