Former Type O Negative/Danzig drummer Johnny Kelly and guitarist and riff writer Dan Lorenzo (Hades/Non-Fiction) founded Patriarchs In Black at the end of 2021. Their debut single »Demon Of Regret« was released in January 2022 and the full album »Reach For The Scars« was released in July 2022. Their second album »My Veneration« was released in October 2023, followed by »Visioning« in July 2024.

As with their previous releases, Dan and Johnny managed to secure some outstanding artists as guest musicians for their 4th longplayer »Home«. The new album features Karl Agell (Legions Of Doom, The Skull, Lie Heavy, ex-Corrosion Of Conformity), Kyle Thomas (Exhorder, Trouble, Alabama Thunderpussy, ex-Floodgate), Dave Neabore (Dog Eat Dog), John DeServio (Black Label Society), Mark Sunshine (Unida, RiotGod), Jason Bragg (Kill Devil Hill, ex-Pissing Razors), Rob Moschetti (M.O.D., ex-Pro-Pain), DMC (ex-Run-DMC) and many more.

Dan Lorenzo says about »Home«: “Did you ever see the movie Groundhog Day? Bill Murray is forced to live the same dayover-and-over. How boring, right? I love pizza, but I don’t want to eat it every meal. With our new album you will find our “usual” doomy riffs, but we also took some chances. There’s acoustic guitars, violin, flute and of course lots of heavy riffs. Diversity. It keeps things interesting.

I picked the title »Home« because as much as I love to travel, it’s always nice to come home. Johnny’s mom died last year. Some would say the Lord took her Home. Johnny and I recorded 17 new songs, but we couldn’t fit them all on this album.

We are honored that some of the best vocalists and bassists worked with us to lend their talents. We hope you love Patriarchs In Black »Home«.”
