Hear Zakk Wylde’s track from Book Of Shadows II - out April 8

Zakk Wylde has issued a stream of his track Sleeping Dogs.

It features on his upcoming Book Of Shadows II album, due out on April 8 via Spinefarm Records and comes 20 years after his first Book Of Shadows release.

Last year, Wylde hinted the record would be more laid-back than some of his previous material.

He said: “I’m always writing mellow stuff. Once I get done doing the heavy thing, I’ll sit behind a piano or pick up an acoustic. It puts you in a different state of mind when you’re writing.”

Book Of Shadows II is available for pre-order.

Wylde is currently out on the road on the Experience Hendrix Tour across the US. He’ll then embark on a run of dates with Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Nuno Bettencourt and Tosin Abasi under the Generation Axe banner in April.

He’ll then return to Europe for a string of dates.
