Avenged Sevenfold’s Zacky Vengeance, also known as Zachary Baker, released his first solo single, “Dark Horse,” which diverges from Avenged Sevenfold’s hard rock style.
The track features a country sound with soulful vocals and traditional Southern instrumentals, aligning with mainstream country radio.
Baker’s announcement of the single on Instagram included a black-and-white cover art shot by Silken Weinberg and a message of resilience: “This is for the ones who never give up no matter what your story is.”
Baker is working on his debut solo album, while Avenged Sevenfold is preparing for a 2026 North American co-headlining tour with Good Charlotte.
