- hard rock 1919 Eternal (also stylized as 1919★Eternal) is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Black Label Society. It was released on March 5, 2002, and was written for Zakk Wylde's father.
Writing
Five songs from the album sessions were written by Zakk Wylde for Ozzy Osbourne's album Down to Earth. Osbourne rejected the songs because they were "too Black Label", so Wylde kept them for this album. The songs were "Bleed for Me", "Life, Birth, Blood, Doom", "Demise of Sanity", an alternate piano version of "Bridge to Cross", and a demo called "Find a Way". The latter two were never released. These original demo songs featured drummer Christian Werr, a friend of Wylde's who happened to be in the right place at the right time to record the tracks. Later, when Wylde went to re-record these demos for 1919 Eternal, Christian's drum tracks were used for "Bleed for Me", "Life, Birth, Blood, Doom", and "Demise of Sanity", which is why Craig Nunenmacher does not appear on these songs.
Artwork
The album artwork is based on a German Nazi propaganda poster used to recruit Dutchmen into the Schutzstaffel (SS).
