Mafia is the seventh release by Black Label Society. It is one of the band’s most commercially successful releases selling over 250,000 copies in the U.S. The track “In This River” was written before the death of Zakk Wylde’s friend and fellow guitarist Dimebag Darrell, but it has since been dedicated to him.
The track “Fire It Up” was featured in the 2005 game Guitar Hero. The end of “Death March” quotes the intro to “Fire It Up”.
