Sonic Brew [Reissue]

“Sonic Brew” was the first Black Label Society album. Musically it still has a distinctly “southern rock” feel although there are signs of the much heavier style that was to follow on subsequent BLS albums. Originally released just in Japan in 1998, it was remixed and remastered and had two further tracks added before its US release in 1999 and had to have a new cover done following legal action from Johnnie Walker over the original cover’s likeness to a bottle of their Black Label Whisky. It is this version of the album that is now reissued on Armoury Records.
