Unblackened represents a live acoustic collection from the American heavy metal group Black Label Society. Captured during a performance at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on March 6, 2013, the album was subsequently released on September 24, 2013.
The first disc includes exclusively live recordings, whereas the second disc blends live tracks with six freshly recorded songs, among which are three reinterpreted versions of earlier studio album material.
Although initially revealed in 2012, the album's launch was postponed because of a delayed recording session, eventually scheduled for August. Pre-orders commenced in August 2013, featuring a deluxe edition that contained a double live CD, a concert DVD, a replica of Zakk Wylde's pewter dagger necklace, a photographic book from the event, and specialized packaging.
On August 9, 2013, the digital release of the single "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone" became available across North America.
