Joe Ferrara handles vocals on PATRIARCHS IN BLACK’s new single, ‘Spoiler Alert,’ whose official video is available on Metalville’s YouTube channel. Revealed November 5, 2026, the song is the second single from To Serve Man, the upcoming studio album due January 8, 2027 via Metalville.
The track pairs Ferrara with Johnny Kelly on drums and Dan Lorenzo on guitar, bass and backing vocals. According to Lorenzo, Ferrara’s contribution followed eight to nine months of waiting for a different singer to take on the song.
Lorenzo explains: ‘I gave it to Joe Ferrara ( from The Andretti), and to my shock, Joe came up with the lyrics and melody AND sang it less than 24 hours! I was blown away, and I’m super happy with how it came out.’
Lorenzo also sent an advance mix to Jason McMaster. Recalling McMaster’s response, he quotes: ‘This guy Joe rules. Where did he come from? He’s amazing!’
Former Type O Negative/Danzig drummer Kelly and guitarist and riff writer Lorenzo, of Hades/Non-Fiction, formed PATRIARCHS IN BLACK at the end of 2021. The doom metal band continues its previous albums’ use of guest musicians on To Serve Man.
