Black Label Society Rocks New Jersey with Zakk Sabbath and Dark Chapel on April 3

New Jersey’s hard rock and heavy metal fans are in for a powerful night on Friday, April 3, 2026, as Black Label Society brings their signature thunderous riffs and commanding stage presence to the Garden State. Joining them for this high-octane performance are Zakk Sabbath, the ultimate tribute to the heavy metal pioneers, and Dark Chapel, a rising force in the modern metal scene.

Black Label Society, led by the legendary guitarist and vocalist Zakk Wylde, has built its reputation on one core principle: the riff. Drawing inspiration from the monumental sounds of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple, Wylde has spent decades perfecting the art of crafting riffs that hit as hard in the soul as they do in the ears. From the crushing power of early classics to the fiery energy of their latest album, Doom Crew Inc., Black Label Society demonstrates a musical philosophy rooted in raw, unrelenting power and devotion to their fanbase. Doom Crew Inc. pays homage to the band’s road crew, affectionately called the “first to bleed, last to leave,” while celebrating the legion of fans whose loyalty rivals even the most iconic music fandoms. The iconic Black Label Society biker-style “kutte” has become a symbol of camaraderie and metal dedication, worn proudly at shows worldwide.

Zakk Sabbath, a tribute project featuring Wylde himself, elevates the night with faithful renditions of Black Sabbath’s monumental catalog. Expect heavy riffs, crushing solos, and the dark, epic sound that cemented Sabbath’s place in rock history. Complementing these headliners is Dark Chapel, a modern metal outfit known for its explosive energy, intricate guitar work, and stage presence that blends technical skill with raw intensity. Together, the lineup promises a full evening of relentless guitar-driven rock that will satisfy long-time fans and newcomers alike.
