Zakk Wylde will release"Book Of Shadows II"on April 8[sup]th[/sup], 2016 via Spinefarm Records, his first solo releasein 20 years. This release is the highly anticipated follow up to 1996's"BookOf Shadows"LP, a classic album Wylde released between his work with Ozzy Osbourne that has since become a fan favourite.
The fearlessly introspective melancholy and melody of"BookOf Shadows"helped to make its follow-up one of Rolling Stone's Most Anticipated Albums of 2016. As fierce and diverse as his work in Black Label Society and as large as his accomplishments as lead guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne have been,"Book of Shadows II"offers an even richer look into the spirit and psyche of one of the most beloved pillars of the hard rock community. Brand new tracks like "Sleeping Dogs","Tears of December","Darkest Hour","Harbors of Pity"and "The King" are bold proclamations of intense feeling and powerful catharsis.
Zakk Wylde's powerful pipes, mayhem-inducing charisma, mischievous humour, and instantly recognizable pinch-harmonic-driven blues-based histrionic guitar shredding have made him the world's most beloved American Guitar Hero.

Having just wrapped up a successful stint on the 2016 Axes and Anchors Cruise, Wylde wasted no time in announcing a run of European dates fromMay 25[sup]th[/sup]throughJune 19[sup]th[/sup]in supportof"BookOf Shadows II".
