ZAKK SABBATH, the electrifying BLACK SABBATH tribute band led by the legendary Zakk Wylde (BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, OZZY OSBOURNE), has just dropped a bombshell for heavy metal fans: the release of "Greatest Riffs", a digital collection celebrating the titans of heavy metal—BLACK SABBATH and their iconic guitarist, Tony Iommi. Featuring Wylde on guitar and vocals, Robert "Blasko" Nicholson (OZZY OSBOURNE, ROB ZOMBIE) on bass, and Joey Castillo (DANZIG, QUEEN OF THE STONE AGE) on drums, this release is a must-have for anyone who loves blistering riffs and crushing anthems.
Since their formation in 2014, ZAKK SABBATH has been breathing new life into the classics through explosive performances. Now, for the first time, fans can enjoy "Greatest Riffs" on all major streaming platforms, featuring handpicked tracks from their albums "Vertigo" and "Doomed Forever Forever Doomed", previously available only in physical formats.
To celebrate this monumental release, ZAKK SABBATH is hitting the road on the "King of the Monstours" U.S. tour! This 30-city powerhouse trek will be headlined by ZAKK SABBATH, with support from fellow rock gods ZOSO (LED ZEPPELIN tribute) and THE IRON MAIDENS (all-female IRON MAIDEN tribute). Prepare yourself for a sonic onslaught that pays homage to the bands that birthed heavy metal.
Zakk Wylde himself adds a personal touch, saying: "I was asked to name five essential things that make life great: 1. Great Friend, 2. Great Pizza, 3. BLACK SABBATH, 4. LED ZEPPELIN, 5. IRON MAIDEN."
