We have an official Black Label tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
Band: Lamb of God
Album: New American Gospel
Song: Black Label
 
Tuning: Drop D - D A D G B D (The high D doesn't matter for this song,
but I believe "Lamb of God" uses it)
 
I realize that i already have a "Black Label" tab posted, but i messed up
a tiny part. I just forgot to make a power chord a power chord
(forgot to add a 0 on the a string). not a big deal but its pissing me off.

You did an insanely excelent job on this tab but the ending part that sounds like god's gonna ****in kick your ass had a not right feeling to it so i went and played along and looked at when they played at hellfest and found out that its fret 6 on the A string and the other strings arent played on then there all open then fret 4 on the A string and again only string played on. k well take that however you want man its your tab.
i think insted of-1-0-3~- it should be -1-0-4-3~- i play it that way and it sounds good
