Single Preview: Jeff Fabb - See No Evil (Rock, 2024)

The drummer of Black Label Society has started a solo project in November 2023 with the release of the first record "Stealing Souls". 

In a few days he's going to release his next single. The topic of the song describes being not in a nice situation. The music happily is not of a depressing kind.

“See No Evil” means sometimes it can feel like no one wants to help you, everyone is passing you by. It feels like you’ll never finish what you’ve started…, but sometimes slow and steady will get you where you wanna be.”  -Jeff Fabb

The song plays around with a easy drum pattern but the direct and easy distorted guitars spread a somewhat spacy feeling.

It's underlined by the bass guitars that put a strong rhythm mark into the sound.  Throughout the singles duration these elements change to a more clear mood. That's something that gives the track a special note.

The vocals constantly keep the tension up in the song but fit very straight into the rest of the sound. They don't stand out at the front of "See no evil" but follow all the changes of the track which keeps just going on and on.

These elements are repeated several times and no guitar solo interrupts the structure. 

With it's catchy character this single is a good pusher for the mind to keep going in difficult times.  The sound may surprise some people who have followed Jeff Fabb's work so far but I'm sure it's more exciting this way than to release something that people might have already expected of the list of bands the drummer has performed with.

The single is going to be released on March 8th 2024. You can pre-save it now on a streaming service of your choice. 

With this little preview in mind it's exciting to see how the rest of the upcoming music might turn out. Well, let's keep a eye further on what Jeff Fabb is going to put out in the coming time with Instagram.  

Over Nemesis take a catseye look across the stars

Album covers can be something that catches your attention. Some of them may call a emotion or a memory in your heart or your mind.

This time around the cover of Sludge metallers "Over Nemesis" packed me with it's mysterious and big eyes on it looking into a misty surrounding, maybe into a sky or something. It reminded me of the eyes of a cat. I love cats and their eyes share a beauty and look into a different world.

A look at the cover of "Wink". It has been integrated into a nice full background picture that could be a cotinuation of the initial print. (c) by Over Nemesis, used with kind permission

That's maybe something that connects to the music of the band that also leads into another place. Fans of the Black Label Society should feel home very quickly. So don't hesitate and have your own look "Across the stars". The use of "yeah" at the vocals reminded me of older days and was a warmly welcomed cheer up on this very Monday. Thanks for that!

This one is a teaser for the full album "Wink" coming August 31st 2018. The album is available for presale on the webstore of Music-Records.

Some guitarists become very well-known for their style and work with famous names in the world of Heavy Metal. One of them surely is Zakk Wylde.

From his 20 years with Ozzy Osbourne and his inception of Black Label Society in 1998 Wylde has widely been considered as one of modern rocks’ true guitar heroes with his taste for metal, blues, doom and southern rock. His collaborations have led to a string of multi-platinum albums, including Osbourne’s biggest selling ‘No More Tears’ for which Wylde wrote all the music.

Just check out one of his actual productions with the video for the song "My Dying Time".
