Formed in late 2021 by Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Non-Fiction) and Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative), Patriarchs in Black has released four full-length albums and a 6-song EP prior to this release, with each album featuring a different lineup of singers and bassists. Their previous records include Reach for the Scars (2022), My Veneration (2023), Visioning (2024), Home (2025), and Covered in Black EP (2025).

Completely Covered in Black showcases the band’s love for the classics with covers of iconic acts including Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Peter Gabriel, Twisted Sister, Motorhead, and Queen. The album also features guest appearances from Mark Sunshine (Unida), Karl Agell (ex-Corrosion of Conformity), Kyle Thomas (Exhorder), Rob Dukes (Exodus), and Bobby Jensen (Hairball).

Fans will find exclusive content on each format: the vinyl pressing includes a bonus track of a Patriarchs in Black original titled Show Them Your Power , while the CD version adds two bonus cuts—Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir and another original, Dead and Dying .

Guitarist Dan Lorenzo reflects on the album’s concept:

"Johnny and I both love recording cover songs. If you haven’t noticed, we REALLY love Kiss. As I write this, it’s only been a week since the death of Ace Frehley. Like many musicians my age, I started playing guitar because of Kiss. On New Year’s Eve, 1978, I had yet to pick up a guitar. My friends and I wanted to play ‘air guitar’ to Kiss Alive! I immediately said, ‘I want to be Ace.’ Three months later, I was playing guitar. Johnny suggested the Peter Gabriel track, and Mark Sunshine’s vocal performance on ‘Games’ really blew people away."

The album is pressed on heavyweight opaque orange vinyl, featuring a 12” x 12” insert with photos, liner notes, and credits. The CD comes in a jewel case with an 8-page booklet. Only 200 vinyl copies will be pressed, making this a must-have collector’s item for fans of heavy music.
