| | Zakk Wylde 1919 Eternal CD Zakk Wylde Discography of CDs
Now how did something this raw and unadulterated find it's way onto the Billboard Top 200 album charts? Usually when a heavy metal album hits the top of the pops, it's either a long-in-the-tooth vet like Ozzy or some nu-metal crossover laced with pop sensibilities. 1919 ETERNAL is certainly neither of those; it's a hard-charging metal album that makes no compromises, delivering stomping rhythms, growling vocals, and of course, chainsaw-from-hell guitars on a mission to destroy all in their path. Despite this take-no-prisoners approach, Zakk Wylde is apparently modest enough to hide behind the moniker Black Label Society, when nearly everything on 1919 ETERNAL is played by Zakk himself with the exception of the thunderous drums heartily provided by skin-pounder Craig Nunemacher. If you're looking for melodic pop hooks here, you've come to the wrong place. Wylde brings the metal throughout this album in a manner so unabashed as to make his cause seem downright noble.

Q (4/02, p.122) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...Their 3rd album owes much to Sabbath: 'Genocide Junkies' steals riffs from both 'Children Of The Grave' and 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath', while the title of 'Life/Birth/Blood/Doom' speaks for itself. Yet Wylde is no one-trick pony...he can play an acoustic guitar even faster than Eddie Van Halen on 'Spanish Fly'. And that's pretty damn fast."
CMJ (3/4/02, p.14) - "...[known as] Ozzy's six-string co-pilot, the Wylde-man has hacked out his own identity..." Zakk Wylde 1919 Eternal Songs 1919 Eternal Review

The 2009 release of Yesterworlds: The Early Demos commemorates the 20th anniversary of Dark Tranquillity's impressive career (18th if you discount the first two, when they went by the rather comical moniker of Septic Broiler!), and their almost incomparably consistent body of work, not only in terms of quality but also in their largely unwavering commitment to melodic death metal. Ironically, early on in their career before they came to epitomize the very face of the so-called Gothenburg sound, the group was somewhat overshadowed by both more accessible, more extreme, or simply better-marketed Swedish compatriots like Entombed, Edge of Sanity, Tiamat, and others, making this newly reissued material all the more compelling for reappraisal with the benefit of hindsight. This is especially so for the three songs from 1991's Trail of Life Decayed demo (including fan favorite "Beyond Enlightenment"), which juggled different riffs as though their lives depended on it, clearly prized showboating complexity over songwriting immediacy, and featured the exact same growling but hollow guitar tone heard on the earliest releases by the bands cited above. Even the subsequent tandem of seven-minute slogs drawn from 1992's A Moonclad Reflection EP revealed only the slightest glimpses of the overt melodicism, songwriting economy -- never mind the keyboards -- that would figure so prominently on DT's future, most representative work. But the seeds were certainly sown here, and the presence of original vocalist Anders Fridén on all of the above is notable merely because of his well-documented defection to cross-town rivals In Flames (with whom he remains to the present day), because his tuneless screaming was otherwise as undeveloped and unrecognizable from later-day performances as the musicianship of his erstwhile bandmates. The remaining four songs collected on Yesterworlds are essentially 1994 demos for Dark Tranquillity's imminent The Gallery album and Of Chaos and Eternal Night EP, and thus somewhat less illuminating from a rarities standpoint, but they do shed a little light on the band's first ...
