In the world of Black Label Society, Zakk Wylde is working "smarter, not harder," as the band is ready to release their new album, 'Engines of Demolition,' on March 27.

During an Audacy Check In with Abe Kanan, the always hilarious Wylde joked about the new project, saying, "It's really no big deal. People are like, 'well, Zakk, what makes it so special compared to all the other records?' I go, 'well, first off, of all the Black Label albums, this is the new one.' Second off, they're like, 'well, the songs all sound the same.' I go, 'I know, because that's all we do is just put different song titles and lyrics to these things and just put them out there.' I mean, you gotta think smarter, not harder."

In all seriousness though, what little there is with Wylde, there is a song on the upcoming album called, "Ozzy Song," that looks back on his friendship playing with Ozzy Osbourne, and the feelings surrounding his funeral. "It's about the greatest that ever was and the greatest that it'll ever be," shares Zakk. Thinking the two would record again and play together again after the success of Back To The Beginning, Wylde was ready for what's next with Ozzy. Sadly though, he never got the chance.

"After we went over there and laid him to rest, you know, being a pallbearer and our oldest son, who's Ozzy's godson, we were pallbearers carrying Oz to his final resting place. After that, when we got home, we did finish up the Pantera celebration run. I got home, sat in the library, looked at one of his books, and I just wrote the lyrics. I put the music on and I said it."

"I just wrote the lyrics right there for Ozzy, and my wife just kept referring to it as 'Ozzy's Song.' They put on 'Ozzy Song' when we were in the truck listening to it when we'd be going somewhere. So, I just said, 'I'm just gonna name it 'Ozzy Song,' cause that's what it is.' If somebody asked me, 'Zakk, did you write that song for Ozzy?' It's like, 'yeah,' so I'll just call it 'Ozzy Song.' So there you go."
