The Blessed Hellride


The Blessed Hellride is the fourth studio album by Black Label Society. It contains a mix of heavy and lighter tunes.
The second track "Doomsday Jesus" was featured on the soundtrack to the game, but with altered lyrics.
The third track "Stillborn" is featured on the soundtrack of the game. Zakk Wylde was also a playable celebrity rockstar in that same game.
Ozzy Osbourne appears on the first single "Stillborn," though his name was not used to promote the track. He is credited inside the booklet, however, due to Ozzy being on Sony Records at the time, Spitfire Records were not allowed to promote this song with Osbourne's name - a sticker on the cover of the album said "featuring special guest star."
The Japanese bonus track "F.U.N." is a joke song, presumably recorded while Zakk and Craig Nunenmacher were horsing around in the studio. The song's lyrics poke fun at the cheesiest of the 1980s hairband's "party" lyrics; Wylde himself noted that "parody" would be a charitable term, saying "That song is so ridiculous, I don't think you could mock anybody... No one sucks that much."
A song called "No Other" was recorded, mixed, and mastered for this album, however, it remained unreleased until the next album, "Hangover Music Vol. VI."
