Zakk Wylde has released a video for his track Sleeping Dogs, featuring Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor.
It appears on Book Of Shadows II, the Black Label Society mainman’s first solo album in 20 years, which was launched in April. View it below.
Taylor’s vocals weren’t featured on the original radio release of the track, also below, even though he’d already recorded them. He told WRIF (via Blabbermouth): “They wanted to go with it as a single, and my record label was worried because the didn’t want it to clash with one of my songs.
“It’s so stupid, the politics. I was like, ‘Come on – it’s a killer tune!’ If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have done it.
“Either way it sounds great. It really represents everything about Zakk that you love. It’s got that sombre, almost Allman Brothers vibe to it. Plus, he’s shredding like crazy.”
Wylde is reaching the end of his current US tour, with nine shows remaining.
