I'd thought that BLS, had hit their high point with the release of "Mafia". But boy, was I ever wrong, "Shot to Hell" is by far another grand work! And I'm sure that all those years playing with Ozzy, helped Zakk, mold his voice skills, as well as writing style.

"This cd is great you can actually listen to the cd without trying to sit so close to ur speaker trying to figure out what they are actually saying. Black label society hasn't gone soft This cd is good best part it isn't like every other heavy metal cd where they scream all the time aka hatebreed"

"All Zakk releases are cool...but the vocals are always an aquired taste.....same thing here, just not alot of variety....BUT to find a real gem, check out that Fozzy CD people are talking about, All That Remains Reloaded....Zakk plays on it and sounds amazing with Chris Jericho on vocals!"
Great CD

""Shot to Hell" is BLS's 7th studio record & 9th overall release. Add to that "Pride & Glory" and "Book of Shadows," and you can tell that Mr. Wylde has been one busy man. He seems to put out an album every single year and tours non-stop. Sometimes doing double-duty for the boss-man, Mr. Ozzy Osbourne.
"Shot to Hell" was issued on yet another label. This time it was Roadrunner Records, who had begun to sign some bigger & more commercial acts. Such as The Cult & Megadeth. "Shot to Hell" doesn't disappoint. And neither does Zakk. Another 13 solid songs with "Concrete Jungle" getting things started & "Black Mass Reverends" being the best of the lot. This record seems very similar in tone & approach to "Mafia." Some slower tunes & more of a mid-tempo vibe on some of the tracks. Unfortunately, this leads to his songs sounding a bit generic & running into one another. Which is almost impossible to avoid since he releases records so often. But listen to "Shot to Hell" for it's own worth & it's own songs, and BLS fans will once again realize that Zakk has delivered to society-dwelling fans everywhere."
