ZACHARY BAKER (of AVENGED SEVENFOLD)
ANNOUNCES DEBUT SOLO ALBUM DARK HORSE
AN UNREFINED ALT-COUNTRY JOURNEY OF HARD EARNED TRUTHS
DUE OUT APRIL 3
SECOND SINGLE, “LIGHTHOUSE,” OUT TODAY - LISTEN
Zachary Baker is thrilled to announce his debut solo album, Dark Horse. The guitarist and founding member of the multi-platinum rock band Avenged Sevenfold, better known around the world to fans as Zacky Vengeance, shares the album’s second single, “Lighthouse,” which follows the release of the title track, “Dark Horse.”
With Dark Horse, Baker trades distortion for dust and grit, while simultaneously carving out his own lane in the alt-country/outlaw landscape. “The beauty is in the imperfections,” solemnly proclaims Baker, the unlikely storyteller. Driven by his restless spirit and the outlaw heroes that inspired him, listeners will find a raw sermon of honesty. Dark Horse blends poignant storytelling with Americana influences, signaling a striking evolution from his hard rock background into a songwriter stepping fully into his own.
