Book Of Shadows II was on April 8th, 2016
via Entertainment One Music (eOne Music), Zakk Wylde's first solo
release in 20 years. This release is the highly anticipated follow up to
1996’s Book of Shadows LP, a classic album Wylde released between his work with Ozzy Osbourne that has since become a fan favorite.
The fearlessly introspective melancholy and melody of Book of 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.

Wylde’s powerful pipes, mayhem-inducing charisma, mischievous humor,
and instantly recognizable pinch-harmonic driven blues based histrionic
guitar shredding have made him the world’s most beloved American Guitar
Hero.
Keeping
up with his road dog reputation Wylde has accumulated over the decades,
he is treating 2016 no differently. Having just wrapped up a successful
run on the The Hendrix Experience Tour featuring some of the biggest names in Rock N Roll celebrating the legacy of Jimi Hendrix. Wylde has wasted no time heading out on the road on the 2016 Generation Axe Tour featuring Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Nuno Bettencourt and Tosin Abasi.
In addition, eOne also celebrates the #1 album in the country with The Lumineers’ Cleopatra,
released on Dualtone Records, an Entertainment One Company. The album
debuts this week at #1 on the Top 200 Chart, The Independent Chart and
the Top Current Albums Chart.
