Editorial Reviews

Following the demise of the short lived Pride & Glory, Zakk Wylde started work on his first (and so far only) solo album "Book Of Shadows". Originally released in 1996 it is now reissued on Armoury Records and includes the 3 track bonus disc that was added in 1999. "Book Of Shadows" finds Zakk Wylde in a much more introspective mood than on his other recordings and contains a substantial amount of acoustic material and includes "Throwin' It All Away", Zakk's elegy for his friend Shannon Hoon of the band Blind Melon who had recently died of a drug overdose.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top 10 Cd List !, January 8, 2010

This CD is a Masterful creation, In my opinion. ((THE BEST composition of ZAKK'S CAREER !!))
If.. I had to make a list of 10 Recordings I could take with me to a deserted Island. This would be one.
Way Beyond Empty. Is one of my favorite tunes.. IF.. you are looking for Heavy Metal Fist in your face rock.. Move on.. This isnt for you.. This has a VERY classic Southern rock feel to it.. But.. Don't get me wrong.. It still has enough overdrive to twist your nipples. To sum this release up.. I would absolutely say.. This is one of the ALL TIME ... UNDER RATED releases of all time.. It .. and ZAKK.. deserved much more recognition, than it got..
This release.. is a great Mix of his Pride and Glory era, and a healthy dose of The Black Label society.. A perfect storm as i would describe it...To me.. This CD is his Apex release.

This review is from: Book of Shadows (Reis) (Audio CD)

Zakk Wylde is perhaps best known for working with Ozzie. So when I heard about this album I was expecting Heavy Metal, or at least Hard Rock. When I actually listened to the album I was at first disappointed that it was neither. But as I continued to listen, I realized that what I was hearing was very, very good. It is soulful, heartfelt music with superb guitar work. I hesitate to classify it, but as another reviewer noted, there is a strong hint of Southern Rock. I can listen to it repeatedly and do not get tired of it.
