Guitarist/singer/producer Dario Lorina, best-known as a longtime member of Black Label Society (2014 to present), is launching his new band, Dark Chapel.
Led by Lorina and also featuring Brody DeRozie (guitar), Mike Gunn (bass), and Luis Silva (drums), the band will release their debut album, Spirit in The Glass, on February 28, 2025 on MNRK Heavy.
The album’s first single, “Glass Heart,” is out now on all digital outlets. The band also released a video for the song.
Dario Lorina says of the new track:
’Glass Heart’ is a lyrical and almost cinematic musical story that started with a riff and lyrically stemmed from emotion. That emotion created an imagery for me that I began writing about as if that feeling was a painting I was writing to describe.

Their upcoming album, Spirit in The Glass, Lorina describes as “…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.
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.
