Covered In Black

Brutal Planet Records unveils Covered in Black, an EP by Patriarchs in Black that redefines six classic tracks with a dark, riff-heavy twist. Limited to just 500 CDs, this release features five unique covers and one original song, blending doom, metal, and a touch of stoner rock to put a fresh, heavy spin on familiar favorites. With covers of Kiss's "Rock Bottom," Twisted Sister's "Destroyer," Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers," Motörhead's "The Chase is Better than the Catch," and Led Zeppelin's "Friends," each track brings the spirit of the original while immersing it in Patriarchs in Black's signature sound.Founding members Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Non-Fiction) and Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative, Danzig, Quiet Riot) lead this project, with Lorenzo previously collaborating with Bobby Blitz on The Cursed. The EP's lineup is rounded out by guest vocalists and bassists on each track, adding diverse and dynamic interpretations to the mix. An original song, "My Veneration," offers a taste of Patriarchs in Black's own sonic vision, built on heavy riffage and dark atmospheres. Housed in a six-panel booklet jewel case, this EP is a must-have for fans of Black Sabbath, Trouble, St. Vitus, Down, Crowbar, Corrosion of Conformity, and Type O Negative.Covered in Black celebrates the power of reinvention, pulling these classics into new depths with grit, heaviness, and an unwavering respect for the originals.
