Originally performed as a one-night-only concert at Club Nokia in Los Angeles for a live CD\/DVD release two years ago, the show will now make its way across the U.S. The performance will feature intimate versions of some of the band&#8217;s most popular songs, as well as tracks from Wylde&#8217;s solo album &#8220;Book Of Shadows&#8221; and his southern rock band PRIDE &#038; GLORY.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always wanted to take &#8216;Unblackened&#8217; on the road, [but] we just didn&#8217;t have the time until now,&#8221; said Wylde. &#8220;You can take a song that you\u2019ve played thousands of times and rearrange it, and all of a sudden it\u2019s something totally fresh. The attitude of the songs doesn&#8217;t change when we play them acoustically \u2014 the tunes are gritty regardless.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The new dates are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>April 03 &#8211; Huntington, NY &#8211; The Paramount<br \/>\nApril 04 &#8211; Hampton Beach, NH &#8211; Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom<br \/>\nApril 06 &#8211; Sayreville, NJ &#8211; Starland Ballroom<br \/>\nApril 08 &#8211; Baltimore, MD &#8211; Rams Head Live<br \/>\nApril 09 &#8211; Fort Wayne, IN &#8211; Piere\u2019s<br \/>\nApril 11 &#8211; Grand Rapids, MI &#8211; Orbit Room<br \/>\nApril 12 &#8211; Milwaukee, WI &#8211; The Rave<br \/>\nApril 14 &#8211; Wichita, KS &#8211; The Cotillion<br \/>\nApril 16 &#8211; Grand Junction, CO &#8211; Mesa Theater<br \/>\nApril 17 &#8211; Salt Lake City, UT &#8211; The Depot<br \/>\nApril 18 &#8211; Sacramento, CA &#8211; Ace of Spades<br \/>\nApril 19 &#8211; Anaheim, CA &#8211; City National Grove of Anaheim<\/p>\n<p>Support on the trek will come from WINO.<\/p>\n<p>BLACK LABEL SOCIETY&#8217;s latest studio album, &#8220;Catacombs Of The Black Vatican&#8221;, sold around 26,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 5 on The Billboard 200 chart.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Catacombs Of The Black Vatican&#8221; was released in Europe on April 7, 2014 via Mascot Label Group and one day later in North America through eOne Music.<\/p>\n<p>BLACK LABEL SOCIETY amicably parted ways with longtime guitarist Nick Catanese and replaced him with Dario Lorina (LIZZY BORDEN).<\/p>\n<p>BLACK LABEL SOCIETYs&#8217; &#8220;Angel Of Mercy&#8221; video was directed by longtime collaborator Justin Reich of the Antimatter Studio.
