With the duo of guitarist/songwriter Dan Lorenzo (Cassius King, Hades, Non-Fiction, etc.) and drummer Johnny Kelly (ex-Type O Negative, Danzig, Silvertomb, apparently Quiet Riot, among others) at their core, Patriarchs in Black return with their impending second album, My Veneration, set to arrive on Oct. 6 through MDD Records. The new release follows 2022’s Reach for the Scars and in addition to returning vocalist Karl Agell — whose new band Lie Heavy have their first record out and who sang on C.O.C.‘s Blind LP — and no less than the king Darryl McDaniels (DMC from Run DMC) showing up, there’s John “JD” DeServio from Black Label Society and a guest-singer spot from Mark Sunshine, who used to be in New Jersey’s own RiotGod and is currently holding down frontman duties in Unida where once John Garcia dared to tread.

Those aren’t it, either. Johnny Araya (younger brother to Tom, now retired from Slayer), Kelly‘s brother Danny Kelly and Dog Eat Dog‘s Dave Neabore (his band has a new album coming out too; pretty productive group of individuals here) also take part, and if that sounds like it’s gonna be one big ol’ metal-dude party tied together with Lorenzo‘s ever-choice doomly riffs — the KISS cover aside — then yeah, I think that’s probably what they’re shooting for.

There’s a teaser up but I haven’t seen a single yet, so will keep an eye out for that. The PR wire has the following to offer:

Second Album ‘My Veneration’ by Patriarchs In Black To Hit The Stores This October (with Johnny Kelly and Dan Lorenzo)

Patriarchs In Black, a unique collaboration of acclaimed musicians Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative/Quiet Riot) and Dan Lorenzo (Hades/Non-Fiction), are thrilled to announce the completion of their second album, “My Veneration”. Much like their debut album “Reach For The Scars”, the upcoming album brings together multiple singers and bassists. The album will be officially released on October 6, 2023, through MDD Records.

Returning artists include Karl Agell (Corrosion of Conformity Blind/Lie Heavy) and Rob Traynor from Black Water Rising. New collaborators like Mark Sunshine (Riotgod/Unida) have joined the project, contributing their unique vocal stylings. The album also features a song with hip-hop legend Darryl DMC from RUN/DMC and guest appearances from John “JD” DeServio (Black Label Society), Dave Neabore (Dog Eat Dog), and Johnny Araya. The album includes a rendition of Kiss’ hit “I Stole Your Love”, featuring Johnny Kelly’s brother, Danny Kelly. “My Veneration” will also be the project’s first to incorporate violin and keyboards, expanding the musical horizons of Patriarchs In Black.

Teaser of the “My Veneration” album is already available, offering a taste of the extraordinary collaborations and music to come.
