• Fox Lake Drop "Cold Hard Truth" Video

  Jan 16, 2025 Al Feliciano 0 Comments

  FOX LAKE are roaring into 2025. The band has dropped the video for the new single "COLD HARD TRUTH." Watch it here.
  
  The song, a ferocious rap x rock hybrid, will rattle your teeth loose from your gums. 
  
  "'The 'Cold Hard Truth' is a blend of some our favorite elements from nu-metal, hardcore, and hip-hop," the band states. "We wanted the whole song to feel like the moment your luck runs out. It's just as heavy as it is groovy and the lyrics cut like a knife."
  
  The band announced its signing to MNRK HEAVY last year.

  Born in the high elevation of Denver, FOX LAKE bring an elevated and energetic sound to the heavy music scene. The band started in 2017 as four friends jamming in their basement, looking to branch out from the metalcore sound by incorporating elements of their favorite genres: hardcore, hip-hop, and rock 'n' roll. FOX LAKE has continually leveled up by giving audiences undeniable grooves, punch rhythms, and an anti-establishment swagger. It all culminates in a sonic, brass-knuckled punch to the face that lands on anyone in their proximity.

• Dark Chapel announces debut album ‘Spirit In The Glass’

  Nov 18, 2024 Al Feliciano 0 Comments

  Guitarist/singer/producer Dario Lorina, best-known as a longtime member of Black Label Society (2014 to present), is launching his brand new band, DARK CHAPEL.

   

  Led by Lorina and also featuring Brody DeRozie (Guitar), Mike Gunn (Bass), and Luis Silva (Drums), the band’s airtight guitar-craft and sludgy grooves with magnetic melodies, bluesy phrasing, and grunge mystique are spotlighted on their debut album, Spirit in The Glass, which is due out February 28, 2025 on MNRK Heavy. Dario’s gritty delivery on the song takes hold on a hypnotic hook, bleeding into a fret-burning lead punctuated by dramatic bends. “’Glass Heart’ is a lyrical and almost cinematic musical story that started with a riff and lyrically stemmed from emotion,” he reveals. “That emotion created an imagery for me that I began writing about as if that feeling was a painting I was writing to describe.”

   

  Striking an elusive balance between dark and heavy, ethereal and passionate, Spirit in The Glass  is as Lorina describes, ““This is a culmination of all artistic influence, whether musical or otherwise.” Dario Lorina began his professional career in 2006 when he was 16 as the touring guitarist with the late Jani Lane (ex-Warrant). At 19, he joined veteran metal act Lizzy Borden whom he toured with for four years. He released two instrumental records with Mike Varney on Shrapnel Records in 2013 and 2017 titled, DARIO LORINA and DEATH GRIP TRIBULATIONS. On January 1, 2014 he joined Black Label Society and has since been touring worldwide alongside Zakk Wylde, performing on guitar, piano and backing vocals ever since. Lorina dueled solos with Wylde on Black Label Society's 2022 album DOOM CREW INC., and he joined Zakk Wylde on the January 2022 cover of Guitar World magazine.

   

  “The guitar never really left my hands,” he laughs. Years of woodshedding followed. At 16 years old, he answered the call to audition for Jani Lane and found himself on the road with the ex-Warrant frontman shortly thereafter.
