- the band featuring Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Non-Fiction) and Johnny Kelly (Type ONegative,Danzig, Quiet Riot) - already very good reviews in the press for the CD version - mastered for vinyl, printed insert - Many guest musicians, but this is NOT a project, it's a GROUP! - Exclusive bonus track on vinyl! Just over a year after the furious debut album "Reach For The Scars", riff machine Dan Lorenzo (Cassius King, Hades, Non-Fiction) proves once again that he simply can't live without them, and presents, together with drummer Johnny Kelly (Danzig, Type O Negative, Quit Riot), the second album from their joint project PATRIARCHS IN BLACK. Once again, the duo call on an illustrious group of guest musicians. It's almost as if no-one can escape the stoner/doom/rock spell, because on "My Veneration", the guest list reads like a who's who of the rock and metal scene. In addition to Karl Agell (COC), Dave Neabore (Dog Eat Dog), Rob Traynor, John Kosco and Eric J. Morgan, already featured on the previous opus, artists such as DMC, Mark Sunshine, Kelly Abe, Gianni Pontillo and many more immortalize themselves this time around on songs that mercilessly escape the speakers to lodge themselves directly in the listener's ear canals. Each track has its own individual charm, yet Lorenzo/Kelly manage to make the album sound like a single entity. Entertaining, varied and with an incredible love of rock'n'roll, including a Queen cover to be found exclusively on this vinyl version.
