DARK CHAPEL, led by guitarist/ vocalist/ producer and longtime member of Black Label Society (since 2014) Dario Lorina, have today released the second single „Hollow Smile“ from their highly anticipated debut album.
HOLLOW SMILE is available now on all digital platforms.
In „Hollow Smile“, a thrashy, palm-muted rhythm bubbles beneath its breezy melody in the verses. The climax is a sing-along chorus that is accelerated by a driving beat. . „I read a quote recently that portrays the meaning behind this song well: ‚A man’s own mind is the greatest battle he will face,'“ explains Dario Lorina.
A video for the song can be seen here:
Under the direction of Lorina and with Brody DeRozie (guitar), Mike Gunn (bass) and Luis Silva (drums), masterful guitar playing and dark grooves are combined with captivating melodies. Bluesy passages and grunge will also take their place on the debut album Spirit in The Glass, which will be released on February 28th on MNRK Heavy.
