The Sabbath Lives On: Zakk Wylde Brings the Doom Across America
Fans of heavy riffs, gritty vocals, and the thunderous legacy of Black Sabbath—prepare yourselves. Zakk Sabbath, the powerhouse Black Sabbath tribute band led by guitar legend Zakk Wylde, is storming the U.S. this winter with a fresh round of shows for 2025. It’s not just a tribute—it’s a spiritual revival of metal’s dark roots.
Who Are Zakk Sabbath?
Led by Zakk Wylde—longtime guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne and frontman of Black Label Society—Zakk Sabbath has earned a cult following for their faithful yet fiery renditions of Sabbath classics. With Blasko (Ozzy Osbourne’s bassist) and Joey Castillo (formerly of Queens of the Stone Age) completing the trio, this band is as heavy and authentic as it gets.
Zakk Sabbath brings the raw, analog energy of 70s metal to life with blistering guitar solos, thunderous rhythm sections, and a stage presence that’s pure doom theater.
