Black Label Society vs. Alter Bridge – Cage Match

Congrats to Black Label Society's 'My Dying Time,' which is now a three-time winner in the Loudwire Cage Match competition. Zakk Wylde's cool, bluesy vibe seems to be connecting with music fans and the song just bested Black Stone Cherry's 'Me and Mary Jane' for its third victory in a row. But the challenge may be harder this go around.

Alter Bridge step into the Cage Match with their second single from the 'Fortress' album. 'Cry of Achilles' starts off more melodic, but does kick in with some serious power courtesy of guitarist Mark Tremonti and vocalist Myles Kennedy. Alter Bridge are playing a number of festivals this spring before heading off to Europe. See all of their dates here.

So there you have it -- two awesome rock tracks ready to do battle in the Cage Match.
