Episode Description

In this DEBUT episode of LTMD Demon Cuts, I revisit one of the most honest rock albums ever recorded — Zakk Wylde’s 1996 masterpiece, Book of Shadows.Long before Black Label Society, Zakk stripped away the distortion and traded whiskey for reflection, pain for peace, and fury for faith. I break down why this record still hits harder than most metal albums today — not because of volume, but because of vulnerability.From Sold My Soul to I Thank You Child, we dig into the lyrics, tone, and production choices that defined a moment of transformation in Zakk’s career. If you’ve ever wrestled with addiction, faith, or the search for meaning through music, this one’s for you.🎧 SegmentsIntro: Why Book of Shadows Still MattersGuitar Tone & Emotion: Blues, Soul, and TruthLyrical Breakdown: Redemption & ReflectionTakeaway: When the Loudest Thing Is Honesty🎙️ LTMD Demon Cuts is a spin-off of Louder Than My Demons — short-form dives into the songs, records, and artists that echo the fight between chaos and recovery.#LouderThanMyDemons #DemonCuts #ZakkWylde #BookOfShadows #AlbumReview #FaithAndFire #GuitarPodcast #RecoveryAndMusic #Songwriting #RockAndRecovery #90sRock #MusicAndHealing
