PATRIARCHS IN BLACK (FEAT. DANZIG, HADES MEMBERS) RELEASE "REACH FOR THE SCARS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: Patriarchs In Black

Title: Reach For The Scars

Label: MDD

Release: 1 July 2022

Format: CD (Jewel Case)


All roads lead to Black Sabbath!

When New Jersey scene veteran Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Non-Fiction) was looking for musicians for his new project, Overkill's Bobby Blitz gave him the idea of knocking on John Kelly's (Danzig, Type O Negative) door, because - according to Blitz - "he would fit your riffs perfectly". Blitz was right and Lorenzo and Kelly, who had never worked together before, formed PATRIARCHS IN BLACK.

The duo makes no secret of where the musical heart of this collaboration beats - to put it in Kelly's words: "All roads lead to Black Sabbath!" So on these nine groovy songs, there are many dragging riffs, with which homage is paid to the forefathers of doom, on the one hand - and on the other hand, such a snotty-rock charm that would also make the album a perfect soundtrack for a remake of "Easy Rider".

For "Reach For The Scars", the duo recruited a whole host of guest musicians who each put their own stamp on the songs. On this album, Karl Agell (COC), Dewey Bragg (Kill Devil Hill), Rob Traynor (Black Water Rising), John Kosco (Dropbox), Eric J. Morgan (A Pale Horse Named Death) and Dave Neabore (Dog Eat Dog), among others, give each song a unique authenticity that makes the overall result an entertaining and varied pleasure.

Ophidian Forest is a transatlantic progressive black metal band that was formed in 2006 and have released 4 full-length albums and 2 split releases with other associated acts. Earlier albums were more raw, chaotic and lo-fi, but since 2018’s 4rth album “VotIVe” they presented both a line-up change as well as a change of musical direction (much to their benefit).

The current members of Ophidian Forest are located in the United States and the Netherlands. “Tales of Doom and Ignorance” is the band’s 5th album. These recordings were made between 2016 and 2020 and were finally mixed by Luctus (guitar) and mastered by Jack Shirley at the Atomic Garden in Oakland CA. They present more elaborate and musically progressive ideas in the forward-thinking black metal territory, which will appeal to fans of early Sigh, Hail Spirit Noir, or early Lunar Aurora. Further aiding their new effort is the advanced production, the best that the band has seen till date. As per tradition, Amalgamoth is behind the vocals, lyrics and atmospheres that you hear on this album alongside Luctus on guitar and mix, Ortebor on drums and a final appearance of DCRF on bass. The album’s remarkable artwork is by the hand of Czech artist Waclaw Traier (droned.eu).



"Our 5th album is called “Tales of Doom and Ignorance” (I write it shorthand as TODAI), and it deals with disaster and cataclysm, in the past and in the future, in reality, and in mythology. That’s the Doom part. The Ignorance part directly relates to Pandora’s trait of curiosity, which also implies the inability (of humanity) to oversee the consequences of meddling with the unknown. A neverending cycle of disasters is part of our existence as a species, and when searching for a subject to write about I was reading somewhere how evolution is (defined by) the periods between mass extinction events. There have been five such events. And since I was working with five pieces of music it clicked with me instantly. The previous albums of Ophidian Forest were centered around history, mythology and mysticism, so that was the direction I was heading." (Amalgamoth, 2021)

For fans of Sigh (early), Hail Spirit Noir, or Lunar Aurora (early).
