Zakk Wylde has today debuted his new solo single “Sleeping Dogs.”

The track is lifted from the guitar legends’ new album, Book Of Shadows II, due for release on the 8th of April via Spinefarm.

The album is the follow up to Wylde’s 1996 solo album, Book Of Shadows, and features cover art from long-time collaborator John Irwin.

“Sleeping Dogs” is being released as an ‘instant gratification’ track, meaning that fans pre-ordering Book Of Shadows II will receive the new song as an instant download.
