From Engines of Demolition (2026). Engines of Demolition is the twelfth studio album by American heavy metal band Black Label Society, released on 27 March 2026 by MNRK. The album's personnel list credits Zakk Wylde on lead guitar and Dario Lorina on rhythm guitar. Coverage of the album says Wylde tracked the guitars with his signature Gibson Les Paul Custom, the "Grail", through a wall of Marshall amplifiers. No source we found names the amp model for this track, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for his other songs from Engines of Demolition, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
