Line-up changes and subsequent releases (1999–2007) Due to delays in signing with a record label ( Spitfire Records), the album was not released in the rest of the world until May 4, 1999. Sonic Brew was released in Japan on October 28, 1998.
John DeServio, who previously worked with Wylde as a temporary replacement in Pride & Glory, joined as the band's bassist for the album's tour. It was known from the start that Nick Catanese would be retained as the second guitarist in the band (Catanese previously toured as rhythm guitarist for the Book of Shadows tour). It was decided, rather than the album being another solo album for Wylde, that they would form a long term band. 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. Wylde subsequently recorded an acoustic solo album, Book of Shadows (1996). However, they disbanded in December 1994 after having released only one album. In the early 1990s, Wylde had formed his own solo band Pride & Glory, playing a mixture of bluesy Southern rock with heavy metal.
