The band’s airtight guitar-craft and sludgy grooves with magnetic melodies, bluesy phrasing, and grunge mystique are spotlighted on their highly anticipated debut album, Spirit in The Glass.

The wild riffing of 'Corpse Flower' blooms through a head-nodding swing, and Dario Lorina’s vocals boom. “When I was writing the lyrics for ‘Corpse Flower,’” he explains, “I was envisioning an imagery, very similar to the artwork that became the single art, of an ominous field of mostly dead flowers with one living and towering over as almost a beacon of or a portal to the underworld, representing immortality.”

As Lorina continues, “I put my heart and soul into Dark Chapel’s debut Spirit in The Glass, as did all involved in the making of it. There’s a lot on this album from my roots of guitar-driven heavy rock to intimate piano and acoustic, singer/songwriter style songs. I’m elated for listeners to hear it in full.”

The album’s first single, 'Glass Heart,' was released last September on all digital outlets, and a video for the song can be seen on the band’s official YouTube page (which currently has over 90k views). 'Hollow Smile,' the album’s second single, was released 17th January, and the video, directed by Justin H. Reich (Black Label Society, Ace Frehley, Rex Brown), can be seen on the band’s official YouTube page (which currently has over 80k views).

In an early album review in Fireworks Magazine (U.K.), Dave Cockett called Spirit in The Glass "A pulsating debut that perfectly balances smoldering riffs and groove-laden melodies..." While IM-Musicmagazine.com declared, “(Dario) Lorina’s new band, Dark Chapel, doesn’t just drop an album—they detonate it…With grin-inducing riffs, raspy, signature vocal style, and a perfect blend of aggression, soul, and a touch of grunge, Dark Chapel’s Spirit in the Glass is more than just a debut - it’s an announcement. Lorina’s new band is here to shake up the hard rock scene, kick ass, and Spirit in the Glass is an absolute must-listen.”

Striking an elusive balance between dark and heavy, ethereal and passionate, Spirit in The Glass is as Lorina describes, “a culmination of all artistic influence, whether musical or otherwise.”

Dario Lorina began his professional career in 2006 at age 16 as the touring guitarist with the late Jani Lane (ex-Warrant). At age 19, he joined veteran metal act Lizzy Borden, whom he toured with for four years. Dario released two instrumental records with Mike Varney on Shrapnel Records in 2013 and 2017 titled Dario Lorina and Death Grip Tribulations. He joined Black Label Society on 1st January 2014, and has since been touring worldwide alongside Zakk Wylde, performing on guitar, piano, and backing vocals. Dario dueled solos with Zakk Wylde on Black Label Society's 2022 release Doom Crew Inc. and joined him on the January 2022 cover of Guitar World Magazine.
