'Skullage' is a comprehensive retrospective of Zakk Wylde's take on traditional, fat-free heavy metal. As a package summing up a decade-plus career in ear-splitting guitar wizardry, it succeeds magnificently.
Zakk Wylde proved himself beyond capable as Ozzy Osbourne's longtime guitarist. Starting as a teenage prodigy, he rapidly edged himself up the ladder as one of heavy metal's top shredders. And his long-running project, Black Label Society, founded in 1998, gives Zakk a platform to shine in every aspect, to the point where he played every instrument but the drums on the early releases.
'Skullage' is a comprehensive retrospective of Zakk's take on traditional, fat-free heavy metal. Southern-inflected songs like "Machine Gun Man" & "Dead as Yesterday" exist comfortably next to nimble shred-fests like the howling "Doomsday Jesus" + "13 Years of Grief". Additionally, the album includes several acoustic takes on Black Label Society songs, including "Stillborn", that display Zakk's increasingly confident singing & melodic sense.
As a package summing up a decade-plus career in ear-splitting guitar wizardry, 'Skullage' succeeds magnificently.
