{"product_id":"sonic-brew-lp","title":"Sonic Brew [LP]","description":"Around the late '90s\/early 21st century, the traditional guitar solo in hard rock\/heavy metal appeared to be a dying beast, as most bands were rejecting six-string leads in favor of focusing solely on detuned riffage (culminating a few years later with Metallica's sonic stinkbomb, St. Anger). But one early sign that the tide was changing was the arrival of the Zakk Wylde-led project Black Label Society, and their 1999 debut, Sonic Brew. Expectedly, the group is all about the almighty guitar -- loud 'n' proud riffs and solos abound -- while Wylde himself handles the vocal duties (and can alternate his voice between a more melodic Phil Anselmo on the heavier material, and a Southern rocker on the acoustic fare). The majority of the album's style is basically summed up with the opening track, \"Bored to Tears,\" with a few detours along the way (such as acoustic guitar shredfest \"T.A.Z.,\" and the Lynyrd Skynyrd-like ballad \"Spoke in the Wheel\"). With the arrival of Sonic Brew, a whole new era of guitarists practicing their speed and scales in their bedrooms would soon be ushered in. ~ Greg Prato","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52787835207967,"sku":"634164610319","price":50.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/2a7e591316145728b6d0accb1b86b408.jpg?v=1786974201","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/sonic-brew-lp","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
