Zakk's work as guitarist for Ozzy and his solo work are two completely different beasts. His guitar for the Prince of Darkness works largely within a mainstream framework while his solo playing and writing often showcase an entirely different side. He's no one-trick-pony and "King of Damnation: Era 1998-2004" showcases the best of his varied interests. The collection from his days on the Spitfire label goes from blues-chugging Southern boogie ("Losing Your Mind"), to hard driving Pantera-like thrash ("Bleed for Me") to acoustic pieces best illustrate how his versatility meets his virtuosity ("TAZ" and "Takillya"). The two new songs on this collection are the slower, harder numbers "SDMF" and "Doomsday, Inc.". His vocals are not the most exciting for Rock, but that's not what you're here for. After all, his playing is vast and technical, going from solid riffing to intricate solo in a matter of moments. If you're a rock or metal fan looking to find a way into this guitar man's catalog, this is the perfect place to start. -- Robert Arambel
