(released 1996). In May 1998, after limited commercial success with Book of Shadows, Wylde and drummer Phil Ondich
recorded what became Black Label Society's debut album Sonic Brew
. It was decided, rather than the album being another solo album for Wylde, that they would form a long term band. It was known from the start that Nick Catanese

, who previously worked with Wylde as a temporary replacement in Pride & Glory, joined as the band's bassist for the album's tour.
Sonic Brew was released in Japan on 28 October 1998. Due to delays in signing with a record label (Spitfire Records
