Black Label Society is a heavy metal band formed by Zakk Wylde, with nine albums released to date.
On the first four studio albums, Wylde played every instrument except for the drums, including vocals, guitars, piano, and bass guitar. However, starting with 2004's Hangover Music Vol. VI, Wylde decided to let the band's bassist perform on the album (though uniquely, three bassists - Mike Inez, John DeServio, and James Lomenzo perform on this album, as the band had no permanent bassist at the time, though Lomenzo became a member of the band soon after), preferring a bassist's interaction and feel to the sound of himself, a guitarist playing bass. Nick Catanese has not, to date, played on any of the studio albums, but, as of 2006, Wylde allows him to perform some of the songs' guitar solos live while he is playing piano.
Dope is the hard rock and Industrial metal band originally from New York City, United States. The band was founded in 1997 and continues on to this day.
The band received some level of success in the late 1990s and early 2000s. They have released four, full-length studio albums to date and are planning to release a fifth in 2007.
The band was founded by song-writer and lead singer Edsel Dope in 1997. As a child, Edsel and his brother, Simon Dope were separated when their parents divorced. When the two were adults, they reunited and Simon joined Edsel's band, playing keyboards. The pair then recruited Tripp Eisen as bassist, Preston Nash as drummer, and Sloane Jentry as guitarist.
Unlike many of the popular bands from the 1990s, Dope derived their sound from influences taken from hard rock bands Guns N' Roses, Kiss and Mötley Crüe and fused that with the sound of Industrial rock acts which had made waves earlier in the decade, such as; Nine Inch Nails, Ministry as well as Industrial music act Skinny Puppy.
