Book Of Shadows

Book of Shadows is the first solo studio album by American heavy metal guitarist Zakk Wylde. The album was first released in 1996 by Geffen Records and was reissued by Spitfire in 1999 with the bonus disc containing "Evil Ways", "The Color Green", and "Peddlers of Death". Unlike his work with Ozzy Osbourne and Black Label Society, here Zakk Wylde shows a different side to his music; an introspective and mostly acoustic style recalling many of the lighter moments from his previous project, Pride & Glory, as well as classic folk rock artists such as Neil Young. Promotional singles were released for "Between Heaven and Hell" and "Way Beyond Empty", the latter of which also had an accompanying music video. "Throwin' It All Away" was written about the death of Shannon Hoon from the band Blind Melon. Hoon and Wylde had lived together and became close friends a few months before he died of a drug overdose. In 2025, Yarden Bibas dedicated the song "I Thank You Child" to his children, Ariel and Kfir, at their funeral, causing the song to top the Spotify charts in Israel.
