“Lead The Parade” The Black Label Society Video Contest

That’s right, Zakk Wylde wants YOU to shoot the new video for his E1 Music single release “Parade Of The Dead!”

Zakk’s call to all Berzerkers on the BLSOfficial YouTube Channel to motivate off their couches, recliners and barstools with their digital video cameras is a first in band history. The results as Zakk would say, “will be un- f’n believable.”

Sure, there have been fan generated video contests before– but with the Berzerker Nation behind this one, anything can happen. Who knows what the Berserkers will create? Zakk and E1 Music are expecting the unexpected and the footage can be riotously funny, dead serious or somewhere in between.

So fire up your java maker,-fuel up- and grab the nearest Flip video camera (or any other digital recording device) and start shooting!

But be careful, and make sure you don’t “go breaking any laws!” says Zakk.

Zakk and E1 want you to keep clean and fun- because the winning video entry or footage will be used as the official “Parade Of The Dead” video online, and perhaps elsewhere too!

The bottom line: this opus is gonna last forever- so make it good.

What else can I win?

Well, there are no Oscar’s being handed out- but the winning entry will be used as the official “Parade Of The Dead” E1 Music Video along with a full band autographed “The Black Label Order” box set and 4 additional BLS Tee Shirts.

Three additional runners up will receive full band autographed CD’s of “The Black Label Order” and a BLS Tee Shirt as well.
