Heavy metal doesn't get much heavier than this.

Zakk Wylde's always brought thunderous riffs and monstrous grooves wherever he goes, and Stronger Than Death is maybe Wylde and Black Label Society at their most balls out heavy. The majority of the album encases me in a wall of sound with roaring guitars, Wylde's bellowing voice, and Rob Trujillo's bass brings such an immense low end to the whole thing.

Phony Smiles & Fake Hellos, 13 Years of Grief, Counterfeit God, and my personal favorite Ain't Life Grand are all perfect examples of the gargantuan sound that this album brings. There are a couple ballads as with most Black Label albums, and Rust is the best of them. They can play beautiful yet still heavy ballads just as well.

Black Label Society has plenty of great albums, but this is the best of them in my book.
