Zachary Baker has announced his debut solo album, Dark Horse.

The guitarist otherwise known as Avenged Sevenfold’s Zacky Vengeance will be sharing his dark country full-length on April 3. We’ve already heard what we now know to be the title-track, and today (February 27) he has dropped second single Lighthouse.

Without giving too much away about what to expect, he simply states that “The beauty is in the imperfections” when it comes to the LP. Meanwhile, a press release reveals that, ‘Dark Horse blends poignant storytelling with Americana influences, signalling a striking evolution from his hard rock background into a songwriter stepping fully into his own.’
