Dark Chapel, led by guitarist/singer/producer/longtime member of Black Label Society (2014 to present) Dario Lorina, released the third single, “Corpse Flower,” today from their debut album. The track is now available on all digital outlets here, and a video for the song can be viewed below.
The band’s airtight guitar-craft and sludgy grooves with magnetic melodies, bluesy phrasing, and grunge mystique are spotlighted on their debut album, Spirit in The Glass, which is due out tomorrow (Friday, February 28) via MNRK Heavy. It will be available on all digital outlets here.
The wild riffing of “Corpse Flower” blooms through a head-nodding swing, and Dario Lorina’s vocals boom. “When I was writing the lyrics for ‘Corpse Flower,’” he explains, “I was envisioning an imagery, very similar to the artwork that became the single art, of an ominous field of mostly dead flowers with one living and towering over as almost a beacon of or a portal to the underworld, representing immortality.”
As Lorina continues, “I put my heart and soul into Dark Chapel’s debut Spirit in The Glass, as did all involved in the making of it. There’s a lot on this album from my roots of guitar-driven heavy rock to intimate piano and acoustic, singer/songwriter style songs. I’m elated for listeners to hear it in full.”
To celebrate the release of the album, Dark Chapel will be performing a very special show in Lorina’s current hometown of Las Vegas, NV on March 1 at Count’s Vamp’d Rock Bar & Grill, with very special guest comedian Don Jamieson (former host of VH1 Classic’s “That Metal Show”). Tickets are available here.
Striking an elusive balance between dark and heavy, ethereal and passionate, Spirit In The Glass is as Lorina describes, “This is a culmination of all artistic influence, whether musical or otherwise.”
