Unblackened is a live acoustic album by Black Label Society. It was recorded live on March 6, 2013 at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, and released on September 24, 2013.[3]
Disc 1 consists of live tracks, and Disc 2 also consists of live tracks among 6 newly recorded songs, 3 of which are re-recordings of previously released songs from Black Label Society's studio albums. The album was announced back in 2012, but the release was delayed due to the postponement of the show, which was settled to be recorded in August. Black Label Society started the pre-ordering of the album in August 2013, also offering a Deluxe Edition Box Set containing a double live CD pack, a DVD of the show, a replica of Zakk's pewter dagger necklace, a photo book with photos taken from the show and a custom package.
On August 9, 2013 "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone" was released as a single through iTunes on North America.[4]
