Black Label Society's "Life, Birth, Blood, Doom" landed on 1919★Eternal, the American heavy metal band's third album, in March 2002, but it was first written for somebody else's record. Zakk Wylde wrote it, words and music, as one of five songs for Ozzy Osbourne's Down to Earth, and Osbourne turned the batch down for sounding "too Black Label". Wylde simply took them home, onto an album he wrote for his father.
The drums give away its history. The original demos were cut with Wylde's pal Christian Werr, who just happened to be around when the tape rolled, and when Wylde re-recorded the songs he held on to Werr's drum tracks for this one, "Bleed for Me" and "Demise of Sanity". That's why Craig Nunenmacher, who drums elsewhere on the album, sits this one out.
