NoLifeTilMetal Records is proud to announce the release of Completely Covered in Black by Patriarchs In Black. Patriarchs In Black was started at the end of 2021 by Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Non-Fiction) and Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative). Patriarchs in Black have released four original albums since forming with each song having a different singer and bassist. The albums are: Reach for the Scars (2022),  My Veneration (2023),  Visioning (2024),  Home (2025) and the 6-song EP Covered in Black (2025).The new album features stunning covers of bands like Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Peter Gabriel, Twisted Sister, and more. The album also features guest vocals from Mark Sunshine (Unida), Karl Agell (ex-Corrosion of Conformity), Kyle Thomas (Exhorder), Rob Dukes (Exodus), and Bobby Jensen (Hairball). Completely Covered in Black features 11 cuts, as well as a vinyl bonus track of a Patriarchs in Black original song titled, "Show Them Your Power."  The CD features 2 bonus cuts including a stunning version of "Kashmir" (Led Zeppelin) and a Patriarchs in Black original titled "Dead and Dying."Perhaps the best way to understand the point of this album is to read the words of guitarist Dan Lorenzo himself: "Johnny and I both love recording cover songs. If you haven't noticed we REALLY love Kiss. As I write this, it's only been a week since the death of Ace Frehley. Like a lot of musicians my age, I started playing guitar because of Kiss. On New Year's Eve, 1978, I had yet to pick up a guitar. My friends and I wanted to play "air guitar" to Kiss Alive! I immediately said, "I want to be Ace." Three months later and I started playing guitar. It would have been nice if SOMEBODY told me Kiss tuned to Eb! Anyway, I then got into Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, AC/DC, and then Judas Priest, Slayer etc. It was Johnny's idea to do the Peter Gabriel track. A bunch of people flip for our version of "Games"... maybe thanks to Mark Sunshine's ridiculous vocal performance... " -Dan Lorenzo, October 23, 2025The vinyl is pressed on heavyweight opaque orange vinyl and includes a 12" x 12" insert with photos, liner notes and credits. Only 200 vinyl copies will be pressed. Don't miss your chance to own this incredible album from Patriarchs in Black!
