E1 Music Vp of Metal Scott Givens comments on the deal: "Rarely does the opportunity come along to sign an artist as talented, influential and important as Zakk Wylde. I am thrilled to welcome him to the E1 Music group. He is the future of our company and all of us are battle ready to go to the wall for him."
Zakk Wylde said about the pairing: "I've known Scott Givens since I first joined Ozzy [Osbourne], and we've always looked for an opportunity to work together... everything came together at E1. I cannot wait to bring new Bls nationwide on E1!"
