"Suicide Messiah" is a Zakk Wylde song from top to bottom, music and words both, and it rides on Mafia, the sixth studio album by his heavy metal outfit Black Label Society. Artemis Records put the album out on March 8, 2005.
Mafia turned out to be one of the band's best sellers, moving more than 250,000 copies in the United States. It carries a heavy heart as well: "In This River", a track Wylde had finished before losing his friend and fellow guitar slinger Dimebag Darrell, was later dedicated to him.
