Dark Chapel, the riff-heavy band led by Black Label Society guitarist Dario Lorina, has released the new single “Sign of Life.” The track arrives alongside a cinematic black-and-white video, directed by Justin H. Reich, which reimagines a modern-day western posse against a dusty blacktop backdrop.
This Friday, Oct. 20, 2025, fans can stream or purchase a deluxe vinyl edition of the band’s debut album, “Spirit in the Glass,” originally released in February. The Laguna EcoMix variant special edition adds two new tracks, “Hit of Your Love” and “Echoes of a Stone Heart II, ” and comes pressed on blue vinyl. The expanded also version will be available digitally on all DSPs and include “Sign of Life” as a third bonus track. Pre-order/pre-save here.
Dark Chapel will hit the road with Zakk Sabbath on an extensive U.S. tour, beginning Oct. 30 in Rancho Mirage, California, and wrapping up Dec. 16 in San Diego, California. The band also will open for Corrosion of Conformity on Oct. 17 in Las Vegas.
Lorina began his professional career in 2006, at the age of 16, as the touring guitarist for the late Jani Lane (ex-Warrant). At 19, he joined veteran metal act Lizzy Borden, with whom he toured 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 Jan. 1, 2014, he joined Black Label Society and has since been touring worldwide alongside Zakk Wylde, performing on guitar, piano and backing vocals. Lorina dueled solos with Wylde on Black Label Society’s 2022 album “Doom Crew Inc.,” and he joined him on the January 2022 cover of Guitar World magazine.
