The longtime Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde formed 10 years ago the group Zakk Sabbath, which is a Black Sabbath cover band, basically, which tours playing the material of the band that created Heavy Metal. Wylde plays the guitar and sings the songs and the trio also has Rob “Blasko” Nicholson on bass (Also Ozzy’s bassist) and Joey Castillo on drums (Danzig, QOSTA).

Back in 2020 the trio released an EP called “Vertigo”, which recreated the groundbreaking Black Sabbath self-titled debut album released in 1970. They recently also released the album “Greatest Riffs”, featuring their version for the songs they think have Sabbath’s greatest guitar riffs. Zakk Wylde first joined Ozzy’s band in 1987 and stayed until 1992, being part of session work in 1995. He came back to tour in 1998 and then from 2001 to 2009. Since 2017 he reunited with Ozzy, who is not being able to tour now due to his health.
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
