Black Label Society have dropped a new song, “Broken and Blind,” a tease of their forthcoming new album scheduled for an early 2026 release.
The track is a three-plus-minute stoner rock groover with fiery guitar licks from axeman/singer Zakk Wylde. He commands a strong vocal performance here, as well, hitting some extended notes in the chorus that callback to early Soundgarden, when the grungers dabbled in this type of heavy stoner rock. The rest of BLS provide an airtight pocket for Wylde’s playing, with the lineup rounded out by bassist John DeServio, drummer Jeff Fabb, and rhythm axeman Dario Lorina.
“The song is about peanut butter and chocolate and what happens when you don’t have any of it,” said Wylde in a press relase, likely making a jokey analogy about the song’s darker lyrical subject matter. “My soul is broken and I’m blind with rage if I don’t have any peanut butter and chocolate, so there you go, it’s a new song called ‘Broken and Blind.’ Thank you, have a great day.”

The song is the third in a string of singles including “Lord Humungus” (released in February) and “The Gallows” (September 2024). Ostensibly all three will be featured on the forthcoming follow-up to the 2021 full-length Doom Crew Inc.
As for Wylde, the prolific guitarist is currently prepping a Fall 2025 tour with Zakk Sabbath, his Black Sabbath tribute act. The outing kicks off October 30th in Rancho Mirage, California, and runs through December 16th in San Diego. Get tickets here.
