Last September, ZAKK SABBATH announced the release of “Greatest Riffs”, a digital collection celebrating the iconic music of BLACK SABBATH and their legendary guitarist Tony Iommi. Featuring a handpicked selection of tracks, this release pays tribute to the band that defined heavy metal for generations.
Formed by Wylde in 2014, ZAKK SABBATH has brought the music of BLACK SABBATH to life through explosive live performances and recordings. For the first time, fans can enjoy “Greatest Riffs” on all major streaming platforms. This digital release brings together some of the most powerful and enduring songs from the ZAKK SABBATH albums “Vertigo” and “Doomed Forever Forever Doomed”, previously only available in physical formats.
Zakk told Rolling Stone about performing SABBATH‘s classic material: “Going back to high-school keg parties, we’d be playing songs by RUSH, SABBATH, [Jimi] Hendrix, whatever [in a cover band], and one person would sing the RUSH stuff, someone could do THE DOORS, and I’d end up doing the SABBATH or Ozzy stuff. It’s hilarious to me, because we were 17 years old playing keg parties at a friend’s house and now I’m [57] years old and I’m still playing ‘N.I.B.’ and SABBATH songs at keg parties, except there’s a couple more people.”
